Justin Turner's big day helps BGSU sink Drexel

BOWLING GREEN — Justin Turner erupted for 29 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists Sunday as a second-half run by the Bowling Green State University men’s basketball team put away visiting Drexel 81-71 at the Stroh Center.

The Dragons and Falcons were tied at 60 with fewer than nine minutes remaining in regulation, but Bowling Green mounted a 14-3 run across the next six minutes to assert control of the game.

Demajeo Wiggins added his sixth double-double of the season for the Falcons (4-3) with 16 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Dylan Frye scored 10 points and Daeqwon Plowden added eight points and six rebounds off the bench for Bowling Green.
