The Bowling Green State University men's basketball program and head coach Michael Huger have announced the addition of Myron Gordon. A graduate transfer from Samford University, Gordon is immediately eligible for the upcoming 2021-22 season. Gordon led the Bulldogs in scoring this season, averaging 15.6 points per game.
"I'm thrilled to add Myron Gordon to our team for the 2021-22 season," said Coach Huger. "Myron is a seasoned scorer, and will bring instant offense to our program. His experience, leadership and on-court success will be a welcomed addition to our program. Myron is a three-level scorer with a terrific ability to get to the foul line. His balanced skill set, along with his ability to play on and off the ball, will translate perfectly to our style of play. I'm excited to work with Myron and see everything we will accomplish together."
The 6-foot-3 guard scored 14-plus points in 8-of-10 contests in 2020-21, including a season-high 29 points on 9-of-14 shooting at Georgia of the SEC on Dec. 12, 2020. A week prior, Gordon registered 23 points (7-of-13 field goals) and 10 rebounds against a Belmont squad that went 26-4 this season.
Gordon shot an efficient 46.6 percent (54-of-116) from the floor as a senior. The native of Bordentown, New Jersey also averaged 3.2 rebounds. Gordon's averages were up from his first campaign at SU. In his debut season in 2018-19, Gordon started all 33 games and averaged 12.2 points and 2.4 rebounds, scoring in double figures a total of 23 times. Gordon racked up 75 assists over 43 games with the Bulldogs.
The dynamic guard began his collegiate career at Harcum College in Pennsylvania, where he scored 1,023 points across two seasons. In his final season at Harcum, Gordon averaged 23.1 points and 4.8 assists while leading the entire NJCAA with an 86.8 free throw percentage.
GORDON ON JOINING THE FALCONS
"I knew Bowling Green was the spot for me ever since our first Zoom call. Coach Huger and his staff related to me in many ways and mentioned that they intend to make me a better person on and off the court, which really was important to me throughout this process. I'm excited to play for a coaching staff that not only cares about me as a basketball player, but cares about me as a person, as well." – Myron Gordon
