BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University men’s basketball got hot from 3 in the latter stages of the second half to pull away for an 81-62 home victory over Massachusetts in Mid-American Conference action at the Stroh Center on Saturday.
Josiah Shackelford buried a trio of 3-pointers, and Justin Thomas added two more over the final nine minutes to help the host Falcons pull away.
The two teams were tied at 46, then again at 48 with a little more than 10 minutes to play. A Troy Glover II three-point play gave BGSU (17-13, 8-9 MAC) the lead back, but UMass (15-15, 6-11) responded as Luka Damjanac hit a pair of free throws and Dwayne Wimbley, Jr.
