Brent Klassen was a physical, high-IQ frontcourt glue guy for Bowling Green
In the 2001-02 season, Brent Klassen was a 6-foot-8 senior forward for Bowling Green who brought veteran stability, defense, and toughness rather than headline scoring; he played in all 33 games, started 32, and helped the Falcons to a 24-9 record, a second-place MAC finish, and an NIT berth. He finished that BGSU career as a strong role player with 52 blocked shots and a reputation for elite screening and selfless, winning basketball—basically the kind of forward coaches love because he makes the rest of the lineup easier to run.
