Coaches are always looking for the player who will be an ‘X’ factor.
Over the last six weeks, Jill Stein has developed into that player for the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball team. PHOTO GALLERY
Stein, a 6-foot-2 junior, scored 13 straight points on her way to a career-high 16 points in Bowling Green’s 61-54 win over Duquesne in the second-round of the WNIT Saturday in the Stroh Center. The Falcons (24-10) host Drexel (24-10) on Thursday in a third-round game with tipoff at 7 p.m.
“This time of year it’s about players, besides your marquee players stepping up. And she certainly did that coming off the bench,’’ Duquesne head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said about Stein.
Stein started her personal 13-0 run with a 25-foot 3-pointer as the shot clock was nearing zero.
“That was, I would say, 70 percent luck,’’ Stein said.

Carle's Corner: Retaining Orr was no surprise (03-22-13) |

It was really no surprise Louis Orr was retained as the head men's basketball coach at Bowling Green State University.
When he was hired to replace Dan Dakich, Orr was given a five-year contract. In Orr's second year BG was 19-14 overall and 11-5 in the Mid-American Conference, and he received a two-year contract extension after that season.The Falcons haven't had a winning season since then.
Bowling Green was 13-19 overall and 7-9 in the MAC this season. If you throw out the wins over Lake Erie, Alabama-Huntsville and New Orleans, the Falcons had only 10 wins of note. Bowling Green did beat Detroit, Wright State, Kent State and Western Michigan, but ended the season on a frustrating note with a loss to Miami in the first-round of the Mid-American Conference tournament
Overall, BG is 12 games under .500 in Orr's six years at 89-101. So as a basketball decision, it's difficult to understand why Orr was retained.
As a person, Orr is an accomplished man, who has deep religious beliefs, and a person who can be a positive role model.

Less than 48 hours after posting a 76-70 victory over SMU in the opening round of the WNIT, Bowling Green State University’s women’s basketball team will be taking the court again.
The Falcons (23-10) host Duquesne (24-7) tonight at 5 in the Stroh Center in a second-round WNIT game. The Dukes advanced with a 71-66 win over Akron.
Both Bowling Green and Duquesne will have the same amount of preparation time.

The turnover bug was still there Thursday night for the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball team.
Unlike BG’s 34 turnovers in a 81-48 loss to Central Michigan in the Mid-American Conference tournament the previous Thursday, the Falcons were able to overcome 26 turnovers on the way to a 76-70 win over SMU in the first-round of the WNIT. It was BG’s first postseason national tournament win since a 72-69 WNIT win over Syracuse in 2009.
The Falcons, now 23-10, face Duquesne in the second-round of the WNIT. The game is Saturday at 5 p.m. in the Stroh Center. Duquesne advanced with a 71-66 win over Akron. PHOTO GALLERY
“We had a lot of pressure in practice so that we could prepare for their (SMU’s) pressure,’’ said BG’s Alexis Rogers. ‘‘We still had a handful of turnovers, but unlike the Central game we kept fighting, we came back, we never gave up and we adjusted to what their defense did.
