(Coyle Withrow/BG Falcon Media) Bowling Green men’s basketball (3-0) remained undefeated on the year with a hard-fought 88-76 win against the Niagara Purple Eagles (0-3) at the Stroh Center. The Falcons got on the board early as sophomore guard Tristan Beckford was fouled on an alley-oop attempt just 13 seconds into the game. Beckford sank one of the two free throws to give Bowling Green an early 1-0 lead. Bowling Green would continue their good start as they got out to an 11-0 lead before forcing a Niagara timeout a little over three minutes in. Sophomore guard Makhi Leach hit a big three to give the Falcons early momentum.
