EAST LANSING- Michigan State basketball will be back in action tonight at the Breslin Center as they face off against the Bowling Green Falcons from the Mid-American Conference.

In what was a competitive game throughout most of the game, three-point shooting cost the Spartans a close loss in the end. MSU shot 12.5 percent from beyond the arc, shooting 3 for 24 from three-point range.

Kohler has recorded a double-double in the last two games for MSU and leads the team in scoring averaging 12.3 PPG. Akins has scored in double figures in two games and is shooting over 45 percent from the field.

The talented freshman guard and son of MSU great Jason Richardson has risen to the occasion through the first three games for MSU. Richardson is averaging 10 PPG and shooting over 64 percent from the field and beyond the arch.

Bowling Green enters this matchup with the Spartans with a 1-2 record on the season and is coming off a dominating 107-43 win over Division III Taylor.

Players to watch for the Falcons include junior guard Javontae Campbell who leads the teams in scoring averaging 18.7 PPG. Senior forward Marcus Johnson is another player to watch for the Falcons.
