Media Guidelines The 2018-19 Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball media guide is designed to assist the media with its coverage of EMU basketball. Additional information, statistics and photographs may be acquired by contacting Kyler Ludlow in the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, Suite 307, Convocation Center, Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197. Press Credentials Requests for working press space should be made in writing at least one week before the date of the home contest to the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office. The request should be made by the sports director of the newspaper, magazine, radio or television outlet wishing to send a reporter(s) to the game. Outlets that have made proper credential requests are entitled to receive copies of the final game statistics, play-by-play and a scoring summary, as well as any press information provided by the competing institutions. Confirmation of the request will be made by EMU Athletic Media Relations personnel. Press credentials WILL NOT be issued to spouses, friends or children. Press row is a working area.

Interview Policy (Mid-Week) Most practices are open to the media. However, all media are recommended to make an advance call to the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office to check on the status of practice for a particular day. Failure to do so may result in an individual’s removal from the venue. Head Coach Rob Murphy is available to speak to the media via phone MondayThursday mornings. Individual players are available for interviews Monday-Wednesday. Please contact the EMU Athletic Media Relations Office at least 24-hours in advance to set up interviews. Players should not be contacted for interviews at their residences, on their cell phones, via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and all other social networking entities. During regular season practices, still photographers and videographers will be allowed to shoot only during pre-practice individual drills, which usually last approximately 10 minutes at the beginning of practice. Media members covering practices or scrimmages will not be permitted to report any scouting information (formations, personnel groupings, etc.) without first speaking with a member of the EMU coaching staff or the media relations office. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in the closing of all practices and scrimmages to the media. First-year players, including freshmen and transfers, will be made available to the media only after they have made a significant contribution or at the coach’s discretion.

EASTERN MICHIGAN MEN’S BASKETBALL COACHING STAFF

EMU COACHING STAFF Head Coach Rob Murphy (Eighth Season)

The 2018-19 campaign will mark Head Coach Rob Murphy’s eighth season at the helm of the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball program. In eight seasons since arriving from Syracuse University, Murphy has made great strides at Eastern Michigan. Through his first seven seasons, he has accumulated a record of 129-110. 2017-18 saw the Eagles reach tremendous heights, finishing with an overall record of 22-13, an 11-7 mark in Mid-American Conference play, a trip to the MAC Tournament semifinals, and an appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The team’s success was highlighted on the court by James Thompson IV, who was named All-MAC First Team, as well as All-MAC Defensive Team. Tim Bond was named the conference’s MAC Defensive Player of the Year, while Elijah Minnie (third team), and Paul Jackson (Honorable Mention), also earned all-league honors. Thompson became just the third player to join the 1,000 point, 1,000 rebound club, while Bond became the all-time steals leader (238) and joined the 1,000 point club in his swansong. The 2016-17 season saw the Eagles finish 1617 overall and 7-11 in Mid-American Conference play. Sophomore James Thompson IV highlighted a spectacular season on the court with an All-MAC Second Team nod to go along with Academic AllMAC and MAC Distinguished Scholar Athlete honors. Junior Tim Bond was named to the Mid-American Conference All-Defensive team for the second consecutive season, while senior Raven Lee set the new single-game scoring record with 50 points at Central Michigan (Feb. 28). In the 2015-16 campaign, the Detroit, Mich. native helped James Thompson IV to earn the MidAmerican Conference Freshman of the Year award. Thompson is just the EMU student-athlete to earn the award in men’s basketball. Thompson was also named All-MAC Second Team after recording the third-most single season rebounds (352) in EMU history, along with the second-best single-season field goal percentage (.645) at Eastern, while Raven Lee nabbed All-MAC Honorable Mention accolades. Additionally, Tim Bond was named to the inaugural All-MAC Defensive Team after completing the season with the second-most steals (67) in a single season. As a team, Murphy’s defensive philosophy continued to shine as the squad set a single season record in steals (312) and steals per game (9.5). In addition to its defensive prowess, the Eagles had an extremely

successful offensive year as well, especially when it came to getting to the free throw line. EMU attempted the second-most free throws (854) in school history, while shattering the free throws made (616) record by 22 makes. The Green and White saw its second-straight 20-or-more win season during the 2014-15 campaign as Murphy led the Green and White to a 21-14 mark on the year, capped by his second win over a Big Ten opponent when the Eagles knocked off the University of Michigan, Dec. 9, inside the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. It was just the third time in EMU history that the Green and White have knocked off the Maize and Blue. In addition, Eastern made it to its second-straight postseason tournament when the Eagles qualified for the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). EMU held teams to a 38.6 field goal percentage, marking the 10th-best in NCAA Division I basketball during the 2014-15 season, while the Eagles saw one of its own make history for the second-straight season. Lee scoredthe second-most points in a single season by a sophomore when he totaled 586 points on the season. Not only did Lee garner that honor, but he became the 29th EMU student-athlete to reach the 1,000-point plateau. For his efforts during the 2014-15 season, Lee was named to the All-MAC Third Team after averaging 16.7 points per game, the most since Brandon Bowdry posted 19.9 points during the 2010-11 season. Thus far, Murphy has coached a trio of All-MAC Third Team award winners, in addition to a pair of All-MAC Honorable Mention student-athletes. At the conclusion of the 2013-14 season after guiding the Eagles to a 22-15 record and the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament, Murphy was named a finalist for the Ben Jobe Award. The Eagles’ 22 victories were the most since the 1996-97 season and tied for fourth-most in EMU history. Under Murphy, EMU reached the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT), marking the first time the Eagles had competed in postseason play since the 1997-98 season. During the historic season, the Eagles led the nation in field goal percentage defense behind the 2-3 zone Murphy implemented upon arriving at EMU. In addition to the team success, Murphy coached Da’Shonte Riley into becoming Eastern’s first ever MAC Defensive Player of the Year during the 201314 campaign. Along with Riley’s award, Karrington Ward was named All-MAC Third Team, while Lee scored the most points by an EMU freshman with 380. In Murphy’s second season at EMU, the Eagles registered a 47-44 victory against Purdue. It was the first time since the 1996-97 season that EMU had beaten a Big Ten opponent. During the 201213 campaign, the Eagles used their stingy defense to beat Northern Illinois, 42-25. In that contest, the Huskies scored just four points in the first half and converted on 8-of-61 field goals, including holding NIU to just 1-of-33 3-pointers in the game. The Huskies 13.1 percent field goal percentage was the lowest in NCAA history since the shot clock was implemented. The season concluded with EMU

winning two games in the MAC Tournament for the first time since the 1997-98 season to reach the quarterfinals. After Murphy was hired on April 21, 2011, he and his staff worked tirelessly to implement his defensive philosophy and begin the process of reviving the EMU men’s basketball program. During Murphy’s inaugural season, 2011-12, the Eagles won Eastern’s first-ever MAC West Division Championship. For his efforts in leading the team to that West championship, Murphy was named MAC Coach of the Year and Co-Coach of the Year in the NCAA District 14 Division I ranks by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Coach Murphy has been on the staff of two outstanding college basketball programs and was also a highly successful high school head coach in Detroit, leading Crockett to the Class B State Championship in 2000-01 and was the associate head coach on the staff of the Detroit Central High School team that won the Class A state title in 1997-98. Murphy took over the EMU job with a strong understanding of high school basketball in the state of Michigan. He spent six years coaching in the Detroit Public School League (1996-2002), four as the head boys basketball coach at Detroit Crockett Technical High School. A graduate of Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, Murphy was a two-year starter on the basketball team and the team’s Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. After graduating from Central State, Murphy returned to his hometown of Detroit to begin his coaching career at Detroit Central High School as the associate head coach in 1996-98. Central won the state Class A championship in 1997-98 after finishing runner-up in 1996-97. Murphy then moved over to become the head boys basketball coach at Crockett H.S. and after his first team posted a 5-13 mark, the Rockets improved to win three consecutive Class B District titles and captured the state championship in 2000-01. His Crockett teams had a 64-27 record and he was named All-Metro Coach of the Year by the Detroit Free Press in 2000-01. From Crockett, Murphy joined the Kent State University staff for two seasons, 2002-03 and 2003-04, and the teams turned in back-to-back 22-9 seasons on the way to two Mid-American Conference East Division crowns. Both teams were invited to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). After that successful two-year stint as an assistant for the Golden Flashes, Murphy joined Head Coach Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse University men’s basketball program as an assistant. During his seven years on the staff, the Orange recorded a 180-67 overall record and played in the post season every year, with five NCAA appearances and two NIT stops. A native of Detroit, Murphy attended Mumford High School where he lettered in both football and basketball, earning All-State honors in football. He and his wife, TeNesha, have one son, Robert II (9) and a daughter, Ryann (6).

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team opened up the 2017-18 season with a 92-60 win over Spring Arbor University Friday, Nov. 10 inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (1-0) marked Education Day with a decisive 32-point victory against the Cougars (6-1) in the first regular-season meeting between the two programs. Making his debut for the Green and White, redshirt junior Elijah Minnie scored 15 of his 22 points in the first half while adding four rebounds and a team-high three blocks. His 22 points marked the most scored by an Eagle in their debut game since Willie Mangum scored 18 in the 2015-16. Junior James Thompson IV collected 10 points and a team-leading 14 rebounds to earn his 39th career double-double, one shy of matching Brandon Bowdry's program record during the modern statistical era dating back to 1998. Redshirt freshman Ty Groce marked the beginning of his EMU career with 15 points and a team-best six steals. Freshman Kevin McAdoo also logged 10 points, while redshirt junior Paul Jackson and freshman Malik Ellison each dished out five assists. Ellison's three-point play in the game's final minute meant all 11 Eagles to earn playing time scored. In his seventh season as EMU head men's basketball coach, Rob Murphy is a perfect 20-0 against non-NCAA Division I opponents in both regular season and exhibition games The Eagles were the superior team on offense, converting on 33-of-66 field goals and 10-of-29 attempts from beyond the arc. EMU also had more opportunities at the free throw line, finishing 16-for-23 while Spring Arbor went 11-for-14. EMU was also solid on the defensive end, forcing 24 turnovers and earning 16 steals. The Eagles held the Cougars to 35.8 percent shooting (19-for-53) and out-blocked Spring Arbor, 8-2. Trailing by four in the early stages, EMU quickly recovered courtesy of a Thompson bucket and four Minnie free throws to level the score at 6-6 just over five minutes into the contest. The Eagles then took total control of the momentum, going on an 18-5 run to build a 20-11 lead with 11:35 to play in the opening half. Minnie put on a clinic for the Green and White during that stretch, scoring 13 of his 15 firsthalf points by sinking 3-of-4 field goal attempts and going 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. After a Spring Arbor triple, the Eagles continued to add to their lead, using a 15-3 run to take a commanding 35-17 advantage with just over five minutes remaining in the first frame. Thanks to 13-of-29 shooting and five different Eagles making a three-pointer, the Eagles took a 40-25 lead into the locker room. EMU also took advantage of Spring Arbor's foul trouble, going 9-of-13 from the line, while Spring Arbor did not attempt a single free throw in the opening half. EMU scored 12 of the first 16 points in the second half to grab a comfortable 5229 lead. Just past the midway point of the frame, Thompson made both free throws to confirm his first double-double of the campaign to give the Eagles a 65-45 edge. EMU continued to entertain, as Bond and Groce added back-to-back dunks to give the Eagles a 24-point cushion. In total, the Eagles scored nine unanswered points to improve their lead to 72-45. Groce's three-point basket with under three minutes to play gave the Eagles 10 for the game as the Eagles used another 7-0 run to go ahead, 84-57. The Eagles saved their most electrifying dunk for last as Ellison set up Groce for a highlight-reel alley-oop with 41 seconds on the clock. Ten of Groce's 15 points came in the second half as EMU cruised past Spring Arbor, 92-60.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – A 27-10 run to start the second half fueled the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team to a 97-73 win over the University of Michigan-Dearborn Sunday afternoon, Nov. 12, at the Convocation Center. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie led the Eagles (2-0) with another stellar performance, following up his 22-point debut game with a 27 point performance against Michigan-Dearborn (4-2). He also added seven rebounds, four assists and a steal for EMU. Minnie was joined in double-figures by redshirt junior Paul Jackson, who scored 15 points and added four assists, senior Tim Bond, who notched 15 points, six assists, four steals, and three blocks, and junior James Thompson IV, who scored 14 points and hauled in 13 rebounds, notching his 41st career double-double. Thompson's second double-double of the 2017-18 campaign movesd him into sole possession of second place on Eastern Michigan's all-time list, passing EMU legend George Gervin. The junior now only trails Kennedy McIntosh who holds the record with 78 double-doubles. Eastern grabbed control of the game just five seconds into the contest, as Bond dropped in a lay-up to put the Eagles ahead. EMU would hold that lead for the rest of the game, never allowing UM-D to get closer than three the rest of the way. Offense controlled the game for the first half of play, as Eastern shot a blistering 56.3 (18-of-32) percent from the floor and Michigan-Dearborn put up a 44.1 (15-of-34) percentage. It was a slim six-point margin at the break at 49-43, thanks in large part to the Wolverines' 55.6 (10-of-18) percent shooting from behind the three-point line. The second half saw Eastern Michigan continue its offensive outburst, darting ahead of Michigan-Dearborn courtesy of a 27-10 run over a 10-minute span. The Eagles shot even better in the second stanza, posting a 58.1 percentage from the floor, while turning the defense up a notch and holding the Wolverines to just 37.1 percent. Eastern forced Dearborn into 15 turnovers in the game and came away with 12 steals to go along with an impressive eight blocks. The two teams were even in the assist column, each totaling 22, but the Eagles held the advantage in rebounds at 39-33. For the game, EMU dominated in the paint, outscoring UM-D 52-24 inside while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor and 35.7 percent from downtown. The Green and White also added a 78.9 percent mark from the charity stripe in the contest. On the flip side, Michigan-Dearborn was held to 40.6 percent shooting from the floor and 42.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Wolverines attempted just five free throws in the game.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team remained perfect to begin the 2017-18 campaign with a 76-59 victory over Arkansas State University Thursday, Nov. 16, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (3-0) defeated the Red Wolves (1-2) by a 17-point margin as both teams kicked off the 2017 Hoosier Tipoff Classic. Junior James Thompson IV became the 30th Eagle to join the 1,000-point club, pacing the Green and White with 23 points and 11 rebounds for his 42nd career double-double and third straight to begin the season. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson recorded career-highs in points (21) and steals (4), while matching his career-best with seven rebounds. Senior Tim Bond contributed 15 points and three steals, while redshirt freshman Ty Groce recorded eight points, eight boards, and a pair of blocks in a stat-stuffing showing. The Red Wolves were led by Deven Simms, who tallied 23 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. EMU was the superior team offensively, shooting 48.3 percent on 28-of-58 shooting and out-assisting Arkansas State, 14-10. Arkansas State struggled out of the gate, shooting 5-for-25 in the first half and finishing 39.2 percent (20-for-51) from the field. On the defensive end, the Eagles forced 15 steals and out-rebounded the Red Wolves, 37-36. The Green and White could not have started the game any better as Thompson won the opening tip and swatted the ball ahead to Bond, who sprinted to the basket for an uncontested layup three seconds into the contest. Arkansas State senior Tamas Bruce's mid-range jumper gave the Red Wolves an early 4-2 lead, but the forward had trouble defending Thompson in the post, picking up two quick fouls and playing just three minutes in the opening half. Trailing 10-7, the Eagles used a 13-0 run spanning nearly five minutes to jump ahead, 20-10. After a dunk from Thompson cut the deficit to one, Bond and Groce connected on back-to-back triples to give EMU a 15-10 edge with 12:28 to go in the first half. The run continued as Bond completed a three-point play before Groce added an exclamation point with a two-handed slam to give the Eagles a 10-point cushion with 10:51 remaining in the opening frame. Arkansas State scored the next five points, but the Green and White responded with a 7-1 run to take a commanding 27-16 lead with 5:01 left in the opening half. As the half wound down, the pace slowed considerably as both sides combined for 21 fouls and 29 free throw attempts. Leading 30-24, Jackson added six more points as the Eagles closed out the half on a 7-0 run to take a 37-24 lead into the intermission. Though the Red Wolves opened the second half on a 6-0 run, their positive swing in momentum proved to be short-lived. After head coach Rob Murphy burned a full timeout exactly two minutes into the half, the Eagles stormed back with seven unanswered points to take a 44-30 lead with 16:30 left in the frame. Leading 50-42 just past the midway point of the second half, Thompson drew a loose-ball foul before splitting a pair of free throws at the other end to earn his 1,000th career point, becoming the 30th Eagle to reach the milestone. Arkansas State eventually trimmed EMU's lead to four with 7:44 left, but this was as close as the Red Wolves would get as Bond's three-pointer capped a 7-2 run to give the Eagles a 60-51 lead with under six minutes to play. Coming out of an Arkansas State timeout, Bond raced to the basket and set up Thompson on an alley-oop for his 19th and 20th points of the night as the Eagles grabbed a 65-55 advantage with 3:26 to go in the second half. EMU wrapped up the contest in entertaining fashion, going on a 13-4 run that included back-to-back dunks from redshirt junior Elijah Minnie and Thompson to seal a 76-59 win and give the Eagles their first 3-0 start since winning seven straight to begin the 2014-15 season.

Eastern was also the superior team at the free throw line, finishing 23-for-29 from the charity stripe, while the Bison were successful on 14-of-22 attempts. Trailing by four in the early stages, Thompson helped spark the EMU offense, connecting on a hook shot before sinking a pair of free throws to level the score at 7-7 with 16:23 to go in the opening half. After the Bison scored the next four points, the Eagles responded with an 11-0 run lasting nearly four minutes to take an 18-11 lead with 11:51 left in the first period.

The Eagles took advantage of the Bison's early foul trouble, as the visitors picked up nine team fouls in the opening 8:09 of play. EMU finished a perfect 11-for-11 from the line in the opening half. The Bison were once again plagued by early foul trouble, collecting seven team fouls less than five minutes into the second half. The Eagles capitalized on Howard's lack of discipline, hitting six free throws as part of a 10-0 run to take a 52-32 lead with 13:57 remaining in the contest. Howard slowly cut the deficit to 13, but the Eagles fought back with a 7-0 run to capture a 70-50 lead with 7:10 left in the final half. Minnie split a pair of free throws before he and Harris connected on back-to-back triples to restore the Eagles' 20-point cushion.

The result is also the Bison's 10th consecutive regular season road loss dating back to last season.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season at Indiana University, falling 87-67 Friday, Nov. 24 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Trailing by just five at the break, EMU (4-1) could not contain the IU (4-2) offensive onslaught, as the Hoosiers shot a blistering 59 percent from the field and 72 percent from beyond the three-point line in the second half. After shooting 64 percent from downtown in the first half, the Eagles were held to just 20 percent in the second stanza. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie led all scorers with 20 points in the game, marking the fourth time in five games the newcomer has topped the 20-point threshold.

TAMPA, Fla. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team rode a stellar defensive effort in the second half to down the University of South Florida 61-47 Sunday, Nov. 26, at the USF Sun Dome. The Eagles (5-2) stymied the Bulls (4-3) to a meager 24 percent (6-of25) from the floor and 0 percent (0-for-10) from beyond the arc in the second half. Meanwhile, EMU shot 44 percent (10-for-23) from the floor and connected on 46 percent (5-for-11) from downtown. Eastern erased an eight-point deficit early in the second half when a Tim Bond dunk ignited a 19-2 run that lasted over 11 minutes.

Freshman Malik Ellison had a careerbest 11 points thanks to 3-of-5 shooting from the three-point line, and also added three assists with no turnovers.

The forward averaged 13 points per game to go along with averages of six rebounds, and one block, steal, and assist per game. Eastern started slow for the second straight game, as South Florida rode the momentum of a 10-2 run to build a nine point lead in the opening stanza. The Eagles proved resilient, however, cutting the deficit to just two points by the halftime buzzer. The one-two punch of Minnie and Thompson carried EMU, as the duo accounted for 15 of the Green and White's 27 first-half points. Overall, EMU shot 40 percent from the floor and 35 percent from downtown, while USF finished with a 29 percent mark overall and a 24 percent average from beyond the three-point line.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team fell in overtime to the University of North Florida 84-81 despite a resilient comeback effort Wednesday, Nov. 29 at UNF Arena. Trailing by as many as 12 in the second half, Eastern (5-2) forced its first overtime since Nov. 11, 2016 by outscoring North Florida (2-7) 17-9 over the final 8:34 of regulation. The Osprey hit a three with eight seconds left in the game to tie the score at 77-77, and the Eagles were unable to connect on the other end. Overtime was nearly as exciting as regulation, but once UNF grabbed the lead off a pair of free throws, the home team never relinquished it again. EMU had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer, but it could not get a shot off in time. Junior James Thompson IV put together a monster performance for the Eagles, scoring a season-high 29 points and grabbing a season-best 15 boards for his sixth double-double of the campaign. Also registering a double-double, his first of the season, was Elijah Minnie, who scored 18 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. Joining the frontcourt duo in double-digit scoring was point guard Paul Jackson, who tossed in 18 points and grabbed a career-high five rebounds. Senior Tim Bond added eight points, eight boards, six steals, and four assists. The Eagles once again struggled to get the game started on the right foot, struggling to a halftime score of 38-31. The Osprey shot an outstanding 47 percent from three in the opening half, and had all the momentum going into the break. Eastern pushed its primary focus inside the paint in the second half and shot a blistering 52 percent from the floor. Unfortunately, North Florida continued to shoot well with a field goal percentage of 50 percent, and a three-point mark of 42 percent. In the end, EMU outrebounded UNF 50-42, shot better from the charity stripe, 81 percent to 77 percent, and held a 54-32 advantage on points in the paint. Unfortunately for Eastern Michigan, North Florida connected on 43 percent of its threes (13-of-30), while the Eagles made just 14 percent (2-of-14).

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team remained perfect this season within the friendly confines of the Convocation Center, defeating Oakland University, 95-89, Wednesday, Dec. 6. The Eagles (6-2) look to sweep a rare regular season home-andhome series when they travel to Rochester, Mich. Friday, Dec. 22 to face the Golden Grizzlies (5-4). Three Eagles eclipsed the 20-point plateau. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson tallied a career-high 24 points while contributing a team-best six assists and three steals. Junior James Thompson IV earned his seventh double-double in eight starts, logging 24 points on 11-of-11 shooting, while pulling down 12 rebounds and posting a team-high four blocks. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie broke the 20-point mark for the fifth time this season, registering 24 points and 12 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double. EMU had its best offensive performance against a Division I opponent this season, shooting 56.5 percent from the field on 35-of-62 shooting, including a remarkable 64.3 percent (18-for-28) in the second half. The Eagles were also the superior team defensively, out-rebounding the Golden Grizzlies, 43-35 and forcing 12 steals. Down 42-35 in the waning moments of the first half, the Eagles got back to within one possession when Jackson hit back-to-back jumpers, prompting Oakland head coach Greg Kampe to use a timeout with 37.6 seconds left in the first period. After the Golden Grizzlies made a three-pointer, Jackson responded in-kind with four seconds remaining in the half as the Eagles took a 45-42 deficit into the locker room. Oakland led by as many as five early in the second half, but the Eagles fought back with an 11-4 run capped by a two-hand slam from Thompson to grab a 57-55 lead with 14:01 left in regulation. Leading 63-62, Minnie's corner triple concluded a 7-0 run and the Eagles opened up a 70-62 lead with 9:32 left in the final frame. In total, the Eagles used a 12-4 run to take a commanding 75-66 lead heading into a media stoppage with 7:47 left in the second half. Holding on to an 82-79 advantage with under four minutes on the clock, the Eagles looked to slow down the contest. The tactic paid off as EMU scored six unanswered points, including a corner three from redshirt freshman Ty Groce, to build an 88-79 lead with 1:17 remaining. The Eagles used free throws the rest of the way to close out a 92-85 victory and beat Oakland for the first time since Nov. 17, 2014.

Central State

Eastern Michigan

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team celebrated Family Day with an 80-65 victory over NCAA Division II opponent Central State University Saturday, Dec. 9, inside the Convocation Center. With the win against his Alma Mater, head coach Rob Murphy has led the Eagles (7-2) to a perfect 21-0 record when facing non-NCAA Division I opposition in both regular season and exhibition games. Murphy played for the Marauders (4-5) from 1993-96, earning the team's Defensive Player of the Year honors during his senior season. Junior James Thompson IV scored 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting and pulled down a team-high 18 rebounds, including seven on the offensive glass. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie also added 19 points to go with four steals and three assists. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson tallied 14 points and a team-best five helpers, while senior Tim Bond netted 13 points and led the Eagles in steals (6) and blocks (3). EMU put together another strong offensive performance, shooting 52.5 percent (31-of-59) from the field and 85.7 percent (12-of-14) from the free throw line. The Green and White also out-rebounded Central State, 35-27 and earned 16 steals, 11 of which came in the opening half. The Eagles were dominant on both sides of the ball to begin the contest, jumping out to an 8-0 run before the Marauders attempted their first field goal. EMU took advantage of poor Central State passing, forcing five steals in the opening four minutes of play. Central State's offense struggled to keep up as they failed to make a field goal during a 5:22 stretch of the first half. After the Marauders trimmed the Eagles' lead to seven with 6:14 to go in the opening stanza, EMU closed out the half on a 16-5 run and led 45-27 going into the intermission. Though Central State started the second half with back-to-back triples, EMU quickly found its rhythm, scoring six of the next eight points to take a 51-35 lead with 17:40 left in the contest. The Marauders slowly chipped away at the Green and White's lead and eventually cut the deficit to just five when Bond set up Minnie for a reverse alley-oop to give EMU a 66-59 edge. Bond added a forceful dunk of his own on the Eagles' next possession to give the Eagles a nine-point cushion with 7:44 to go in the second half. The Eagles concluded the contest with a 12-4 run to secure an 80-65 victory and improve to 6-0 inside the Convocation Center this season.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team rallied from nine down for an exciting 85-80 road victory at Long Beach State University Saturday, Dec. 16 at the Walter Pyramid. The game had 11 lead changes and 10 ties in a thrilling 40 minutes of action, as the Eagles (8-2) withstood a fast and furious final charge from the 49ers (5-8) to pull out the victory.

Freshman Kevin McAdoo tied a careerhigh with 10 points off the bench. Trailing by nine late in the first half, Eastern used a 7-0 run to close the gap and took a one point lead into the half thanks to a Minnie triple in the waning moments. With the win, the Eagles moved to 6-0 on the season when leading at the break. EMU controlled play in the second half, leading for 17:03 of the 20 minutes.

The Eagles made a season-best 11 three-pointers (11-of23, .478) and forced the Beach into 13 turnovers.

ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team mounted a tremendous comeback effort Friday, Dec. 22 at Oakland University, erasing an 18-point second half deficit, but ultimately fell short 86-81 at the Blacktop at the O'Rena. Trailing by 16 with 4:35 to go in the game, the Eagles cut the deficit to three with just over a minute to go. In the end, the Golden Grizzlies cashed in from the charity stripe, connecting on 14-of-14 from the free throw line in the second half, to put the game on ice. Four players notched double-digit scoring efforts in the game, led by a career-high 25 points from Paul Jackson, James Thompson IV added 18 points and nine rebounds, while Tim Bond added 15, and Elijah Minnie had 13. The game started sloppy for the Eagles, as they coughed up 11 first-half turnovers on just three steals for the Golden Grizzlies. EMU shot just .414 (12-of-29) from the floor in the first half compared to OU's blistering .533 (16-of-30) field goal percentage. Eastern cleaned up its act in the second half, committing just two turnovers in the final 20 minutes, while forcing 10 miscues by Oakland. The Green and White shot .550 (22-of40) from the floor in the second stanza, including a 10-for-10 stretch that fueled the comeback. For the game, Eastern Michigan was edged in overall shooting percentage, .509 to .493, outrebounded 36 to 29, and attempted 13 fewer free throws. The Golden Grizzlies connected on 91.3 (21-of-23) percent of its trips to the charity stripe, while the Eagles made 80 (8-of-10) of theirs. EMU once again dominated points in the paint, outscoring OU 5030, while also holding the edge in points off turnovers, 29-15.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team hung in for most of the game, but ultimately fell to Syracuse University, 62-47, Wednesday night, Dec. 27, at the Carrier Dome. The Eagles (8-4) were tied with the Orange (11-2) at 24 at the half, but SU outscored EMU, 38-23, to pull away in the second stanza. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie led EMU with 13 points, while fellow junior James Thompson IV added 12 to go along with a team-best nine rebounds. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson was the third Eagle in double figures, notching 10 total. As a team, EMU shot 37.0 percent (20-of-54) from the field, while SU was only 2.1 percent better at 39.1 (18-of-46). The biggest disparity of the game came at the free throw line, as EMU finished just 4-of-6 (66.7 %) from the stripe, while SU was 20-of-26 (76.9 %). EMU controlled the paint, 28-20, while also totaling 13 points off its seven steals. Syracuse started the game scoring the first five points, but EMU responded with an 11-0 run to storm ahead by six at the 12 minute mark. Thompson tallied six of the points as he dominated the paint early. The Eagles extended the advantage to seven soon after, but SU hit their first three of the day at the 8:48 mark, after starting 0-for-8, to cut into the lead. Midway through the half, EMU maintained its advantage, 15-13. A pair of SU free throws tied the game, but Minnie responded with a three ball to get the lead back. Syracuse continued to cash in from the charity stripe, tying the game again, and another Orange three gave them their first lead since the 16-minute mark, 21-18. A Jackson fast break layup made it a one-point contest at the final media timeout of the first half. Down the stretch both teams traded buckets, and EMU remained down just two with 30 seconds to go. With the final possession, a senior Tim Bond three ball rimmed out, but Minnie was there to tip in the rebound right before the buzzer to make it 24-24 at the half. Coming out of the break, Syracuse went on a 7-0 run to take their largest lead of the night, 33-26. A thunderous Bond dunk got Eastern back within five at the first timeout. Syracuse extended the lead to nine not long after, but the Eagles continued to battle, keeping it a five-point game with 11 minutes to play. Eastern cut the deficit to just two on a Thompson layup and redshirt junior Terry Harris three pointer, but SU would not relinquish the lead, getting back up by six at the under eight timeout. The Orange rode the momentum to a 10-point lead with six minutes to go, and extended it further before the under four, 58-43. EMU would not get any closer, finishing with the 15-point defeat.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team concluded the non-conference portion of its schedule with a comfortable 67-48 victory over Rochester College Friday, Dec. 29, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (9-4) snapped a brief two-game slide and improved to 10-0 all-time against the Warriors (11-7). Freshman Kevin McAdoo netted a career-high 12 points off the bench on 4-of-4 shooting, including a pair of triples. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson also added 12 points, while fellow junior James Thompson IV contributed six points, three blocks, and a team-best eight rebounds. Senior Tim Bond tallied seven points, four boards, and paced EMU with four steals. The Eagles shot 47.1 percent from the field on 24-of-51 shooting, while the Warriors connected on 19-of-60 field goal attempts for a 31.7 percent clip. EMU's defensive discipline paid off as the Eagles committed nine fouls compared to Rochester's total of 22. The Green and White also outblocked the Warriors, 11-1 and had 12 thefts. Tied 8-8, a three-pointer from redshirt junior Terry Harris jump started a 20-6 run lasting nearly eight minutes as the Eagles grabbed a 28-14 advantage with 6:13 remaining in the first frame. EMU continued to add to its lead, scoring the final seven points of the half to take a commanding 45-22 lead into the intermission. The Eagles also capitalized on the Warriors' foul trouble, knocking down 13-of-20 free throw attempts in the opening half, while Rochester went 2-for-2 in the first period. The Eagles utilized their roster depth throughout the contest, netting 30 bench points en route to the win. Head coach Rob Murphy has led the Green and White to a perfect 21-0 record against non-NCAA Division I opposition in both exhibition and regular season games.

MUNCIE, Ind. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team struggled in the second half against Ball State University Tuesday, Jan. 2, falling 70-62 to open up MidAmerican Conference play at Worthen Arena. For the first time this season, EMU (9-5, 0-1 MAC) lost in a game in which it led at halftime, as BSU (10-4, 1-0 MAC) outscored the Eagles 39-26 in the second stanza to send the Eagles back home with the loss. Elijah Minnie had fantastic first half, pouring in 17 of his 25 points in the opening stanza. He was joined in double figures by fellow redshirt junior Paul Jackson, who scored 14 points and had four assists. Tim Bond had a well-rounded performance, with nine points and eight boards to go along with a pair of assists. After Eastern shot a blistering 48 percent (15-of-31) from the floor in the first half, including 56 percent (5-of-9) from the three-point line, Ball State held EMU to just 30 percent (9-of-30) from the floor in the second half, and 25 percent (3-for-12) from downtown. The Cardinals used a 15-2 scoring run over a five-minute span midway through the second stanza to turn a five-point deficit into an eight-point advantage, and never turned back. The Green and White came in to the conference opener leading the league in steals per game, team blocks, and turnovers forced, and once again hit high marks. The Eagles had eight steals, led by Minnie's four, added seven blocks, and forced the Cardinals into 13 turnovers. Unfortunately, Ball State held the advantages in assists (20-8), rebounds (42-33), and second chance points (21-10).

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team dropped its Mid-American Conference home opener in heartbreaking fashion, falling 75-71 in overtime to Bowling Green State University Saturday, Jan. 6, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (9-6, 0-2 MAC) erased a late four-point deficit to force the extra session and had the ball and an opportunity to win the game on the final possession of regulation. Eastern fell victim to a shot clock violation, however, and the Falcons (10-5, 1-1 MAC) rode the momentum in the extra session, as EMU fell for the first time this season inside the Convocation Center. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson paced the Eagles with 21 points and five assists, while pulling down four rebounds. James Thompson IV played all 45 minutes and recorded his 10th double-double of the campaign, tallying 14 points to go with a team-best 14 boards. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie tallied 15 points, seven rebounds, and a pair of steals, while senior Tim Bond added 16 points and was one of four Eagles with at least two assists. EMU shot 40 percent from the floor, connecting on 22-of-55 field goal attempts, including 9-of-25 from beyond the arc. BGSU had a slim advantage on the offensive end, shooting at a 41.3 percent clip on 26of-63 shooting. EMU out-blocked BGSU, 5-2, but the Falcons narrowly out-rebounded the Eagles, 38-37. EMU's defense was superb for much of the first frame, at one stage holding BGSU without a field goal for over six and a half minutes. Bond's second three-pointer of the contest gave the Green and White their largest lead of the half, 24-13, with 3:45 remaining in the opening period. The Eagles withstood a late rally from the Falcons and took a 30-29 edge into the locker room. The game went back and forth in a hotly contested second half featuring several ties and four lead changes. Trailing 66-63, Thompson sank a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to one with 1:43 remaining in regulation. The Eagles then got a stop on the defensive end, forcing BGSU into a shot clock violation with 1:10 left in the second frame. On EMU's ensuing offensive possession, Minnie drew a foul and two opportunities at the charity stripe, converting on his second attempt to even the score, 66-66, with 1:00 left in regulation. Again, the Eagles stood tall on defense, and regained possession with just over 30 seconds remaining in the second period. However, the Eagles were unable to attempt a field goal, and were hit with a shot clock violation of their own with 1.4 seconds left in the second half as the game headed to overtime. After the Falcons hit a three-pointer to re-capture the lead, Jackson responded with a layup to trim BGSU's lead to 69-68 with 3:20 left in overtime. The visitors then pulled away, outscoring the Eagles in the extra session, 9-5, as EMU fell by a four-point margin.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team earned its first Mid-American Conference victory of the season, holding off Central Michigan University, 79-74, Tuesday, Jan. 9, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (10-6, 1-2 MAC) have won five consecutive matchups against the Chippewas (12-4, 1-2 MAC). Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced the Green and White with 25 points and a pair of blocks, and was one of four Eagles with at least two steals. Junior James Thompson IV secured his second consecutive double-double and 11th of the campaign, tallying 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting to go with a team-best 12 rebounds, six of which came on the offensive glass. Making his first career start, redshirt freshman Ty Groce matched career-highs with 15 points and eight boards. Senior Tim Bond added 10 points off the bench, while leading the Eagles with three thefts. EMU shot a blistering 53.4 percent from the field, connecting on 31-of-58 field goal attempts, including 7-of-19 tries from beyond the arc. The Eagles out-rebounded the Chippewas, 31-28, and grabbed nine steals on 15 CMU turnovers. The two in-state rivals went back and forth in a first half that featured seven ties and six lead changes. Down by as many as five, EMU fought back and eventually re-captured the lead when Bond inbounded the ball to Minnie for a layup to give the Eagles a 38-36 edge with 14 seconds left in the first frame. However, CMU restored parity on its next possession as the teams took a 38-38 tie into the intermission. EMU was fired up to begin the second half, as Thompson's heavy two-handed slam capped an 8-0 run to give the Eagles a 46-38 lead with 17:02 left in the second half. Tied 61-61, Minnie nailed a pair of three-point baskets as part of an 8-2 EMU run that put the Eagles ahead, 69-63, with 3:43 to go in regulation. CMU turned the ball over on its next possession, resulting in a two-handed dunk from Minnie that put the game beyond any doubt with 20.7 seconds on the clock. The Eagles knocked off the Chippewas to improve to 8-1 this season inside the Convocation Center.

DEKALB, Ill. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team was in the game for a majority of the contest, but in the end late threes from Northern Illinois University buried the Eagles in a 72-66 defeat inside the NIU Convocation Center Saturday afternoon, Jan. 13. Eastern (10-7, 1-3 MAC) led by as many as eight in the first half, and never trailed by more than 11, but six three-balls from the Huskies (9-8, 2-2 MAC) in the second frame sealed the deal late. Both teams shot 45 percent from the field, but NIU's 33 percent clip from deep ended up being the difference. NIU also controlled its possessions all game, holding EMU to a season-low four steals. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson was EMU's leading scorer with 19 points, while junior James Thompson IV registered the 51st double-double of his career with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Redshirt junior Jordan Nobles was the other EMU player in double figures, finishing with 11. EMU began the game with a corner three from Nobles, but the Huskies remained close early on, trailing just 5-4, at the first media. EMU then went on an 11-2 run to go up by eight, 16-8, about midway through the first half. Both teams then began to trade blows, as neither could gain more than a two-point advantage heading into the final three minutes of the half. In the final three, EMU gained some momentum before the break, getting four from each Jackson and redshirt freshman Ty Groce to end it on an 8-2 run, and take a six point lead, 33-27, into the locker room. Out of the break NIU came out firing, scoring the first 10 points to storm back ahead, 37-33. The deficit went to as many as 11, but EMU continued to battle, getting the score down to 54-49, but Eastern struggled to get any closer. NIU's hot shooting from three was unrelenting, as the Huskies hit another to get back ahead by five with about a minute to play. After pulling within three, NIU's sixth second-half three was the final nail in the coffin, as the Eagles went on to drop the contest by six, 72-66.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - Eastern Michigan got back in the win column with a convincing 63-49 victory over the University of Akron Tuesday, Jan. 16, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles defeated the Zips for the first time since Feb. 14, 2015, snapping a four-game skid. For the third time this season, EMU had at least two players record 20 or more points in a single game. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced the Eagles with 22 points in addition to five rebounds, four blocks, and a team-high four steals. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson tallied 20 points, eight boards, and a team-best four assists. Junior James Thompson IV added eight points, eight boards, and four blocks, while Tim Bond collected five rebounds and led the Green and White with six assists. The Eagles were the superior team on offense, shooting 46.7 percent (21-of-45) from the floor compared to Akron's 30.9 percent (17-of-55) clip. On the defensive end, the Eagles out-blocked the Zips by a 10-2 margin and out-rebounded the visitors, 34-32. EMU started the scoring with a three-point play from Jackson early in the contest. After falling behind 8-5, Minnie and Nobles connected on back-to-back corner threes to put the Green and White back in front, 11-8. The Eagles' offense was in command in the early stages, using a 14-5 run late in the stanza to build a seven-point advantage. For the fourth time in five Mid-American Conference games, EMU led at the break as they took a 34-27 lead into the locker room. The Eagles carried the play to begin the second half, with Minnie's layup giving the Green and White its largest lead to that point, 41-31, heading into the first media timeout of the final frame. Leading 43-35, a thunderous one-handed slam from Minnie restored the Eagles' 10-point cushion with 10:12 remaining in the second stanza, prompting Akron head coach John Groce to burn a full timeout. The Eagles pulled away in the closing stages, at one stage going on a 10-0 run to open up a 63-47 lead. EMU knocked off Akron, 63-49, to improve to 9-1 inside the Convocation Center this season.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team led by as many as eight in the opening half, but Ohio University used eight second-half threes to hand the Eagles a 7266 defeat Saturday, Jan. 20, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (11-8, 2-4 MAC) finished a respectable 46.9 percent from the field, converting 24-of-52 field goal attempts. The Bobcats (9-9, 2-4 MAC) shot slightly better at 48.9 percent (23-of47), but connected on 10-of-18 three-point attempts. EMU outrebounded the Bobcats, 32-28, and scored 32 points in the paint compared to Ohio's total of 22. Junior James Thompson IV led the Green and White with 21 points on 7-of-7 shooting to go with a team-high 14 rebounds for his 13th double-double of the campaign. Redshirt freshman Ty Groce tallied 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting, making 4-of-5 attempts from beyond the arc. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson contributed 12 points and a team-best three assists, while senior Tim Bond added 11 points, three rebounds, and two helpers off the bench. After falling behind by four in the early stages, the Eagles responded with an 11-0 run capped by back-to-back dunks from Bond and Minnie to build a 13-6 lead with 13:01 left in the opening half, prompting Ohio to burn a 30-second timeout. Groce's second three-point basket of the afternoon gave EMU its largest lead, 16-8, with 11:21 to play in the first frame. The opening stanza featured four ties and five changes, but the Green and White managed to re-gain control of the momentum. Tied 22-22, Minnie's triple put the Eagles back on top, 25-22, with 2:54 remaining in the first period. In total, EMU closed out the opening stanza on a 14-4 run and took a 31-24 lead into the locker room. Both offenses improved dramatically in the second half. Although the Eagles shot 51.7 percent from the field in the final frame, Ohio responded with a 63 percent (17-of-27) clip. Trailing 52-44, EMU fought back with an 8-2 run to cut its deficit to 54-52 with 9:01 to go in regulation. Down 69-58, the Green and White clawed their way back with seven unanswered points to trim Ohio's lead to 69-65 with 1:32 remaining in the second half. However, the Bobcats escaped with a six-point victory as the Eagles fell for just the second time in 11 contests this season inside the Convocation Center.

Buffalo

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team dropped a cross-divisional contest at Alumni Arena to Mid-American Conference front-runner, the University at Buffalo, 83-69, Jan. 23. Crippled by 11 first-half turnovers, Eastern (11-9, 2-5 MAC) could not overcome the 22-point deficit handed to them by Buffalo (15-5, 7-0 MAC) in the opening stanza. Albeit outscoring the Bulls, 52-44, in the second half, the Eagles shot just 23.1% (6-of-26) in the first half and managed just 38.1% (8-for-21) from the free throw line throughout the duration of the game. The Green and White's offensive effort was led by redshirt junior Paul Jackson, who came back from not finding twine in the first to pouring in all 20 of his points in the second. Additionally, junior James Thompson IV came away with a game-high 16 boards, while contributing eight points of his own. The Green and White struggled to get its offense going early on, coming up empty on five of its first six attempts. Although they kept things close for the first 10 minutes of the game, which saw six lead changes, Buffalo put together a 28-4 point run to end the half and put the Eagles in a deep hole, down 39-17. The Bulls carried their momentum into the beginning of the second half, starting out with a 7-0 run before EMU turned the tide in its favor, scoring nine straight in 1:20 of play to bring the score to 46-26. From there the Eagles slowly chipped away with Jackson tallying 17 points in the opening nine minutes of the second half. The momentum seemed to belong solely to the Eagles over the halfway mark of the second, with the Eagles bringing the game within 10 after trailing as much as 29, which was sparked behind stellar play from Jackson and senior Tim Bond, who combined for 30 second-half points. However, Buffalo would not allow EMU to come within single digits, as they came away with its MAC-best seventh win of the season to remain perfect in conference play.

Eastern Michigan

Miami

OXFORD, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team prevailed in a defensive showdown, and got a much-needed Mid-American Conference win over Miami University, 58-48, Saturday afternoon, Jan. 27, at Millett Hall. The 48 points were the fewest given up by the Eagles (12-9, 3-5 MAC) in conference play this season, as well as tied for the second-fewest overall. It was the second time Eastern has held a MAC opponent to under 50 points this season, as Miami (11-10, 3-4 MAC) shot just 30 percent (17-of56) from the field, to EMU's 49 percent (25-of-51). The Eagles dominated the paint, outscoring the RedHawks, 32-12, down low, while registering six blocks. Junior James Thompson IV led the way with his 14th double-double of the season and 53rd of his career, finishing with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson led EMU in scoring with 15, while fellow redshirt junior Elijah Minnie finished with 12 points coming off the bench for the first time this season. Both teams went back and forth early in the first half, as Thompson scored eight of EMU's first 12 points, but nine from Miami's Dalonte Brown kept it close, 12-9, at the first media. Eastern then went about three minutes with no points, allowing Miami to take a 16-12 advantage, but a redshirt junior Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) corner three broke the streak, and kept things tight. The action then went fast and furious as there were no stoppages for the next seven minutes, up until right before the last media timeout. In that time frame, Eastern got scoring from five different players, but Miami had the answers, keeping it tied at 24. Over the last four minutes of the first frame, both teams struggled to find the bottom of the net, but Miami was able to hit a three right before the buzzer, making it 30-29 RedHawks into the break. The scoring droughts carried over into the second half, as neither team could score in the first three minutes. Miami broke the streak with two free throws, but other than that, EMU's defense was suffocating, holding them without a field goal. On the offensive end, Eastern turned the defense into a 6-0 run to retake the lead, 35-32, early in the second. Eastern's run extended to 9-0 on a Bond three ball, as Miami was still held scoreless from the field at the 15 minute mark. The lead extended to 10 soon after, 42-32, as EMU's run went to 13-0, and Miami was 0-for-10 from the field. They finally hit a three pointer at the 12 minute mark to cut it to seven at the under-12. Miami was sparked out of the break, going on an 8-3 run to cut the Eastern lead to just two points, 45-43, with 8:23 to play. Scoring was sparse over the next four minutes, but EMU maintained its lead, 50-45, with just three minutes to go. Down the stretch, Miami got to within three, but a huge Minnie three pointer put the Eagles back up six with a minute to play. Following a missed three pointer from Miami, Minnie took a flying pass from Jackson, and slammed it home to effectively put the game away. EMU went on to seal the deal with the 10-point victory, 58-48.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was unable to match Western Michigan University’s second-half offensive display Tuesday, Jan. 30, falling 71-57 inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (12-10, 3-6 MAC) came up short against the Broncos (13-9, 5-4 MAC) at home for the first time since Feb. 27, 2011, snapping a six-game win streak. EMU finished 37.5 percent from the field on 18-of-48 shooting, and shot 52.2 percent (12-of-23) in the second half. WMU hit at a modest 43.5 percent (27-of-62) clip overall, but shot 60 percent (18-of-30) in the final frame, connecting on seven triples. Junior James Thompson IV led the Green and White with 24 points on 7-of-8 shooting and tied a season-high with 18 rebounds for his 15th double-double of the campaign. Senior Tim Bond added 11 points, four assists, and three boards off the bench. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie tallied eight points to go with three rebounds, and was one of four Eagles to record a steal. After falling behind 2-0, Thompson split a pair of free throws before Minnie threw down a powerful one-handed slam to give the Eagles their first lead, 3-2, with 17:25 to go in the opening half. Trailing 11-7, freshman Kevin McAdoo (West Bloomfield, Mich.West Bloomfield) set up Minnie for an alley-oop to cut the deficit in half with 12:16 left in the first frame. Down 16-12, EMU responded with a 5-0 run capped by a three-point basket from redshirt junior Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) to go back in front, 17-16, with 4:14 remaining in the first period. The Eagles led by as many as three in a tight opening half and took a 21-20 edge into the locker room. Tied at 23, freshman Malik Ellison connected on a corner three put the Green and White ahead, 26-23, with 17:38 to play in the second half. The momentum suddenly broke WMU’s way, as the Broncos went on an 18-2 run and built a 44-28 lead with 11:56 left in the second stanza. EMU looked to get back into the contest, at one stage going on a 6-0 run to cut WMU’s lead to 56-41 with 5:54 remaining in the second half as the Broncos called a timeout. However, the Eagles were unable to trim the deficit to single-digits and fell by a 14-point margin.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team got back in the win column with a convincing 5841 victory over Ball State University Saturday, Feb. 3, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (13-10, 4-6 MAC) used a strong second-half performance to defeat the Cardinals (14-9, 5-5 MAC) for the first time since March 3, 2015, snapping a five-game skid against Ball State. EMU led for all but 44 seconds of the game, while the defense held Ball State to its lowest point total since 2010. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced the Green and White with 22 points while adding seven rebounds, three blocks, and a pair of steals. Junior James Thompson IV tallied 11 points and pulled down a team-high 14 boards for his third consecutive double-double and 16th of the campaign. Making his return to the starting lineup, senior Tim Bond contributed 11 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, while leading the Eagles with four blocks and three swipes. EMU was dominant on both sides of the ball, finishing with a 52.3 shooting percentage from the floor on 23-of-44 shooting, while holding Ball State to a season-low 26.7 percent (16-of-60) clip. The Green and White out-blocked the Cardinals by a 13-3 margin and out-rebounded BSU, 40-32. The 13 blocks ties the record for most in a game, and is the most in a game against a Division I opponent since the 2013-14 season. Bond threw down a one-handed slam to break the scoreless tie before setting up Thompson on an alley-oop as the Eagles grabbed a 4-0 lead with 18:09 to play in the opening half. After Ball State knotted the score at 9, redshirt junior Paul Jackson nailed a triple to put the Green and White back in front, 12-9, with 14:06 left in the first frame. EMU's defense stifled Ball State for much of the opening period, at one stage holding the Cardinals scoreless for nearly six minutes. Trailing 26-25, Minnie drove to the basket for a layup with 29 seconds remaining in the first half to give the Eagles a 27-26 edge heading into the intermission. EMU put the game beyond any doubt with a 25-6 run as the Eagles took a commanding 56-36 lead with 5:18 left in the second stanza. Eastern held the Cardinals to a season-low 41 points and kept its opponent under 50 points for the fifth time this campaign as EMU ran away with a decisive 17-point victory.

KENT, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team pulled off its first win in the M.A.C Center in almost 20 years thanks to a well-balanced effort, holding on late against Kent State University for a 71-67 victory, Tuesday, Feb. 6. The Eagles (14-10, 5-6) and Golden Flashes (12-12, 6-5 MAC) were locked in a tight contest from the opening tip, as the two teams traded the lead six times and saw the score tied on eight other occasions. Ultimately, EMU's offensive firepower lifted the Green and White to their first victory in Kent since Feb. 7, 1998. Eastern benefited from one of its best all-around games of the season, as five players scored in double-figures for the first time on the campaign. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson (Stone Mountain, Ga.-Martin Luther King Jr. (Eastern Kentucky) led the way with 17 points and eight assists, while also knocking down five-offive from the charity stripe. Fellow redshirt junior Elijah Minnie (Pittsburgh, Pa.-Lincoln Park (Robert Morris)) came up big with 15 points and six rebounds, while James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) added 12 points and eight boards. Joining in on the scoring fun was redshirt freshman Ty Groce (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Lincoln), who had 11 points, and redshirt junior Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton), was a perfect 4-for-4 from the floor for 10 points. EMU built up an early lead in the first half and carried a fivepoint advantage into the locker room at the half, but a 9-2 run for the Golden Flashes out of the break gave fans a preview of the half to come. Kent State grabbed its only lead of the second half with 14:34 to go, but the Eastern lead never got more than eight points down the stretch. With the game coming to a close, KSU cut the lead to two thanks to some hot shooting from 35-feet with just 12 seconds to go, but Jackson knocked down two clutch free throws to put the game on ice. The Eagles were 29-of-60 (.483) from the floor for the game, while the Golden Flashes shot 24-of-57 (.421). KSU held the edge in free throw percentage (.714 to .692), and rebounding (37 to 31), but Eastern dominated in points in the paint (48 to 20), points off turnovers (22 to 11), and fast break points (14 to zero).

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Eastern Michigan University men's basketball junior James Thompson IV joined the exclusive 1,000 point, 1,000 rebound club with his 11 rebound performance against Bowling Green State University Saturday, Feb. 10, but the Eagles fell to the Falcons in overtime, 70-63, at the Stroh Center. EMU (14-11, 5-7 MAC) led by as many as 19 in the game, but a BGSU (15-10, 6-6 MAC) three-pointer with six seconds to go tied the game, and the home team outscored the Eagles 10-3 in overtime to send Eastern home with the loss. Thompson joins EMU all-time scoring and rebound leader Kennedy McIntosh and Eagle great Brandon Bowdry as the only Eastern Michigan players to have 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their career. The Baton Rouge, La. native now has 1,338 points and 1,008 rebounds in his three seasons with the Green and White. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie was the only other Eagle to reach double figures in the game, finishing with a game-high 17 points. Fellow redshirt junior Jordan Nobles and redshirt freshman Ty Groce each added nine points. Eastern played one of its best halves of the season in the opening stanza, shooting .565 from the floor and .500 from the three-point line, while holding Bowling Green to just .250 from the floor and .200 from the three-point line. Unfortunately, the comfortable 17-point advantage would disappear bit-by-bit in the second half. BGSU systematically chipped away at the EMU lead, eventually bringing the game to the three-point margin in the waning moments. The Falcons did not attempt a field goal in the overtime period, but connected on 10-of-13 from the charity stripe, while holding the Eagles to just 1-of-12 from the floor. Eastern was outrebounded 43-32, including 14-8 on the offensive boards. The Eagles forced the Falcons into more turnovers (17 to 14), and shot better from the floor overall (.400 to .377), but Bowling Green got the free throw line 29 times, connecting on 22 of them, while EMU went to the line just 11 times, connecting on nine of them.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team bounced back from a tough road loss over the weekend with a hard-fought 58-57 victory over Miami University Tuesday, Feb. 13, inside the Convocation Center. The Eagles (15-10, 6-7 MAC) completed the season sweep over the RedHawks 13-13 (6-7 MAC) and have won each of the last six matchups against Miami. The in-season sweep marks the first time for EMU over Miami since the 1988 season. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie reached the 20-point plateau for the 11th time this season, leading the Green and White with 24 points while adding nine rebounds, three blocks, and two assists. Junior James Thompson IV recorded 14 points along with a team-high 14 boards and four blocks for his 18th double-double of the campaign. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson tallied 11 points and was one of four Eagles to contribute at least two assists. With Eastern ahead 58-57, the RedHawks grabbed a defensive rebound off a missed free throw and called their final timeout with 9.3 ticks left in regulation. Miami had a chance to win in the waning moments, but senior Tim Bond captured his team-best fifth steal of the night as the Eagles held on for a one-point victory to improve to 11-3 inside the Convocation Center this season. EMU finished 39.2 percent from the floor, converting 20-of-51 field goal attempts, including seven triples. Miami went 40.8 percent (20-of-49) from the field, but committed 18 turnovers. The Green and White out-blocked the RedHawks by an 8-2 margin and out-rebounded Miami, 33-30. The RedHawks opened the second half with a 16-3 run and cut EMU's lead to 36-34, but the Green and White fought back with an 11-2 run of their own to take a 47-36 lead, prompting Miami to burn a 30-second timeout with 8:12 to play in the second half. In front 51-46, freshman Malik Ellison (Flint, Mich.-Beecher) buried a corner three to give EMU an eight-point cushion with 4:12 left in the final frame. With EMU leading 56-55, the RedHawks had the ball with a chance to take the lead, but an errant Miami pass ended up out of bounds with 1:04 left in regulation. At the other end, Jackson drained an elbow jumper to put the Eagles on top, 58-55, with 47 seconds remaining in the second half.

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team overcame a 10-point second-half deficit to take down Central Michigan University, 72-67, Saturday evening on the road at McGuirk Arena. EMU (16-11, 7-7 MAC) and CMU (16-11, 5-9 MAC) traded punches the entire game, with six ties and six lead changes during the contest. Eastern took its final advantage of the game with less than a minute to go, as an and-one by senior Tim Bond put the Eagles on top for good. Junior James Thompson IV led the way for the Eagles, registering his 19th double-double of the season with 22 points and 14 rebounds. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie added his third double-double of the campaign with 13 points and 10 boards, while fellow redshirt junior Paul Jackson added 15 points and four assists. Bond's final line was a stat-stuffer, as the senior added seven points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and a steal. The biggest play of the game came with under 40 seconds to play and the Eagles ahead by only two, as Central Michigan had what appeared to be an open look from three for a chance to go ahead. From the opposite side of the floor, Bond swatted the shot attempt and it was collected by Minnie, who was fouled immediately and promptly sank both free throws on the other end. Eastern trailed by as many as seven points over the final 10 minutes of play, but a resilient defensive effort fueled an efficient offensive attack on the other end of the floor. During that timeframe, the Eagles forced the Chippewas into four of their 15 turnovers for the game, and held the home to just 3-of-10 shooting from the floor. EMU dominated points in the paint for the game, 46-16, and won the overall shooting percentage battle as well, 47.5 to 37.3. The factor that made the game so close was behind the threepoint line, as CMU shot a blistering 42.3 (11-of-26) percent from downtown. The Chips had the advantage at the free throw line in the game, 92.3 percent to 73.3 percent, but the Eagles went 8-of9 down the stretch to help build their final lead to five. The other big advantage in the game came on the boards, as Eastern out-rebounded Central 43-30 for the game. The doubledoubles by Thompson and Minnie marked the third time this season that the duo has logged double figures in points and rebounds in the same game.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team knocked off the Mid-American Conference West Division's top team in a thrilling encounter Tuesday Feb. 20, erasing a 12-point first-half deficit en route to a 8579 victory over the University of Toledo inside the Convocation Center. Winners in five of their last six outings, the Eagles (17-11, 8-7 MAC) grounded the high-flying Rockets (19-9, 11-4 MAC) and moved into fifth place in the MAC standings. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie recorded 23 points on 8-of11 shooting, six rebounds, and was one of three Eagles with two steals. Junior James Thompson IV also tallied 23 points on 11-of-14 shooting and pulled down a team-high seven boards, four of which came on the offensive glass. Redshirt Junior Paul Jackson added 18 points and a season-best 10 assists for his first career double-double, and senior Tim Bond logged a season-high 17 points to go with five boards and a pair of swipes. EMU had its best field goal percentage in #MACtion this season, finishing 55.7 percent from the floor(34-of-61), including 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc. The Eagles went 12-of-15 from the charity stripe and dominated the battle in the post, scoring 52 points in the paint compared to the Rockets' total of 38. Tied at 62, Jackson set up Thompson on an alley-oop to put the Eagles back in front, 64-62, with 8:25 left in the second half. In total, the Green and White used an 8-0 run to build their largest lead to that point, 70-62, with 6:40 remaining in the final stanza. EMU continued to add to its lead, with Minnie's longrange triple giving the Eagles a commanding 77-66 lead and prompting the Rockets to burn a timeout with 2:52 to go in the second stanza. The Green and White continued to entertain the home crowd, as Minnie assisted Thompson on another alley-oop to put the Eagles ahead, 79-69, with 2:22 left in the contest. The Eagles used free throws the rest of the way to hold off the Rockets by a six-point margin.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Senior Tim Bond cemented his place in the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball record book in a convincing 82-53 win on Senior Day against Northern Illinois University Saturday, Feb. 24, inside the Convocation Center. Playing in his final home regular season contest, Bond recorded 11 points to become the 31st Eagle in program history to join the 1,000-point club and tallied three steals to surpass Earl Boykins as the program's all-time leader with 222 career swipes. Bond also added six boards and tied for the team lead with five assists. Winners of four straight and six of their last seven overall, the Eagles (18-11, 9-7 MAC) defeated the Huskies (12-17, 5-11 MAC) for the ninth consecutive time inside the Convocation Center and remained perfect against NIU at home under head coach Rob Murphy. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced the Green and White with 26 points to go with seven rebounds and a team-high two blocks, while junior James Thompson IV tallied 14 points and eight boards. Redshirt junior Paul Jackson registered 13 points and five assists, as fellow redshirt junior Jordan Nobles posted a career-high five steals. EMU put together another strong performance on the offensive end, finishing 55 percent from the floor on 33-of-60 shooting with nine triples, including a remarkable 64.5 percent (20-of-31) efficiency in the second half. In contrast, NIU shot 37.3 percent, connecting on 19-of-51 field goal attempts. The Eagles took full advantage of the Huskies' poor ball control, scoring 21 points off 19 NIU turnovers and notching 24 fast-break points. Holding a 20-17 edge, the Eagles used a 10-0 run lasting nearly four minutes to build their largest lead to that point, 30-17, with 3:30 remaining in the first frame. EMU was the superior team on both sides of the ball as it took a 31-23 lead into the intermission. The Green and White carried the play to begin the second half, as Jackson hit back-to-back baskets to give EMU a 35-23 lead with 19:25 to go in the contest. On the next possession, Bond notched his 221st career theft to take sole possession of EMU's all-time steals record, and threw down a powerful one-handed slam to become the 31st Eagle in program history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team came away with one of its biggest wins of the season Tuesday, Feb. 27, taking down Western Michigan University, 74-58, at University Arena to clinch a first round bye in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. With the win, EMU (19-11, 10-7 MAC) punches its ticket to Cleveland with a first round bye. The Eagles, who could still be either the No. 3 or No. 4 seed, hold the tie-break advantage over WMU (17-13, 9-8 MAC), and any other team they may tie in the final season standings. Eastern's 10 wins in MAC play match its best in the Rob Murphy era, when the Green and White finished 10-8 in 2013-14. It's also the first win for the Eagles in Kalamazoo since Feb. 29, 2012. EMU was led by its upper-classmen in the big road win, as redshirt junior Paul Jackson scored a game-high 21 points while also dishing out eight assists. Fellow redshirt junior Elijah Minnie dropped in 18 with a game-high nine boards. Junior James Thompson IV added 14 points and seven rebounds, while senior Tim Bond added 10 points, eight boards, six assists, and four steals. The Eagles rode an 18-0 first half run to erase and early deficit and build a halftime lead to 35-24. Eastern shot an impressive 41.9 percent from the floor in the opening stanza, including a 36.8 percent mark from downtown, while holding the Broncos to 30.6 percent from the floor and just 28.6 percent from beyond the arc. When Western inched the game closer in the second half, it was a Minnie triple that pushed the lead from five to eight, and the Broncos would get no closer the rest of the way. Eastern led the game for nearly the entire way, trailing for just 2:03. For the game, the Eagles shot 50 percent (26-of-52) from the floor and 37 percent (10-of-27) from downtown. Perhaps more impressively, EMU held Western to 37 percent (22-of-59) from the floor and a meager 21 percent (3-of-14) from the three-point line. Eastern also won the turnover battle, forcing WMU into 10 in the game while only committing six themselves. Astonishingly enough, no single player had more than one turnover for the Green and White.

TOLEDO, Ohio – Down two with just eight seconds to play, Eastern Michigan University junior Paul Jackson connected on a layup and completed the and-one opportunity to give the Eagles a road win over the University of Toledo, 71-69, in the regular season finle at Savage Arena. Following the basket by Jackson, UT (21-10, 13-5 MAC) had one final shot, but the EMU (20-11, 11-7 MAC) defense held strong. A Rocket's three-point heave fell short and the Eagle's Ty Groce grabbed the rebound, got fouled, and hit one of two free throws to put the game on ice. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie had 25 points and eight rebounds to lead the Eagles, while Jackson finished the night with 16. Junior James Thompson IV was the only other member of the Green and White to finish in double figures, as he added 13 points to an eight-rebound performance. Eastern and Toledo locked in a battle from the opening tip, but it appeared that the Rockets were set to pull away on senior night, leading by seven with just under nine minutes to go in the game and again by five with just over three minutes left. The Eagles proved resilient down the stretch, eventually tying the score on a pair of Jackson free throws with 59 seconds to go. After a Tim Bond free throw put the Eagles ahead 67-66, the Rockets converted a three-point play the old fashioned way on the other end to take the lead with just 16 seconds to go. Eastern pushed the ball ahead and called a timeout so Head Coach Rob Murphy could draw up the winning play that Jackson would convert moments later. Both teams finished the game with impressive offensive performances, as EMU shot 51 percent (25-of-49) from the floor compared to UT's 45 percent (24-of-53). The great equalizer in the game was Toledo's three-point shooting, as it connected on 36 percent (10-of-28) from beyond the three-point line compared to Eastern's 33 percent (4-of-12). Toledo controlled the rebounding battle, 33-to-25, but Eastern Michigan was able to even the ground with its defensive pressure, forcing 14 turnovers on 11 steals. The Eagles once again dominated the paint against the Rockets, outscoring the hosts 40-24 down low.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team defeated the University of Akron in the MidAmerican Conference Tournament quarterfinals, 67-58, Thursday, March 8, at Quicken Loans Arena. No. 3-seeded EMU (21-11, 12-7 MAC) gained the lead for the first time with just two minutes left in regulation, finishing on a 21-1 run and defeating No. 11 UA (1418; 6-13 MAC) for the first time in the postseason in school history. Eastern Michigan, which was down 19 points early in the second half, overcame its largest deficit of the season. Head coach Rob Murphy's Eagles advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2013-14. Murphy, who is 9-6 all-time in MAC Tournament games, will coach in the semis for the second time in his seventh year at the helm of the EMU men's basketball program. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced EMU's offensive attack with 21 points off of 8-for-16 shooting from the field. Minnie also hauled in 14 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season. Senior Tim Bond and redshirt junior Paul Jackson contributed 15 points apiece, with Bond also grabbing eight boards and forcing four steals. Bond now has 81 total thefts in 2017-18, which gives him the EMU single-season record. Eastern finished the game shooting 45.7 percent from the field and knocked down 19-of-22 free throws. Akron went 39.6 percent from the floor and 7-for-13 effort from the charity stripe. The start of the second half mirrored much of the beginning of the game. After the Zips went on a 15-5 run to start the second stanza, it was not until the eight-minute mark that the Eagles were able to close the gap to 10. Jackson converted an and-one, and Bond knocked down both free throws after Akron was given the fourth overall technical of the evening. The Eagles began to heat up for the first time of the night, going on a 15-3 run which was capped off by a corner three from Minnie before Akron was forced to call a timeout with four minutes left in regulation. Out of the timeout, the Green and White continued to pour it on, with redshirt junior Jordan Nobles hitting from deep and Jackson converting an old fashioned threepoint play on back-to-back possessions to give EMU the lead for the first time of the night, 59-57, with 2:23 on the clock. From there it was all Green and White, as Eastern held Akron to just four points in the last 6:57 to complete the comeback, 67-58, and punch its ticket to the semifinals.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The No. 3-seeded Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team fell just shy of reaching the 2018 Mid-American Conference Championship game, coming up short in the final seconds, 64-63, to No. 2-seeded University of Toledo Friday evening, March 9, at Quicken Loans Arena. EMU (21-11, 11-7 MAC) got a layup with 21 seconds left to go up by two points, but Toledo (22-10, 13-5 MAC) hit a three pointer with just nine ticks on the clock, and EMU's attempt on the other end missed, sending the Eagles home with the crushing onepoint defeat. Eastern shot 38 percent (26-of-67) from the field, and a solid 42 percent (9-of-21) from three, but Toledo matched them with a 39 percent field goal percentage (24-of-61) while the difference maker was UT's 54 percent three point percentage (12-of-22), including two clutch threes within the final minute of play. Leading the Eagles' attack was redshirt junior Paul Jackson, who finished with a team-high 26 points on a career-best four three pointers, as well as five assists. Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie also ended his day in double figures with 13 points, to go along with three blocks and three steals, while freshman Kevin McAdoo was the third Eagle with double-digit points with 10. For the second straight game, the Eagles came out of the gates slow, shooting just 33-percent (12-36) in the first half, while the Rockets put together a 41-percent (11-of-27) showing. Even though Eastern shot a respectable 40-percent (4-of-10) from beyond the three-point line, Toledo made its money from downtown, shooting an eye-popping 58-percent (7-of-12). Despite the disparity, a Minnie three pointer before the buzzer sent both teams into the locker room with a three-point deficit, 31-28. In the second half, Toledo raced out to a seven-point advantage, but EMU responded with a 10-0 run to leap ahead, 41-37 at the first media. After that, both teams never got ahead by more than five, setting up the pulse-pounding final minute. With EMU up three, Toledo's Marreon Jackson hit a three ball to tie the game at 61-all. Following dueling timeouts, Jackson drove the lane and laid it in to lead, but coming down the other end, Marreon Jackson hit another clutch long-ball to get back ahead, 64-63. With time winding down, McAdoo had a layup attempt rim out, and time expired before another attempt could be made.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team opened the 2018 CollegeInsider.com Tournament with a convincing 83-65 win over Niagara University Wednesday, March 14, inside the Convocation Center. Making their first postseason appearance since playing in the College Basketball Invitational at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign, the Eagles (22-12, 11-7 MAC) advanced to the next round of the CIT after an 18-point victory against the Purple Eagles (19-14, 12-6 MAAC). Redshirt junior Elijah Minnie paced the Green and White with a career-high 29 points on 12-of-19 shooting, converting 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc. Junior James Thompson IV tallied 20 points and pulled down a team-high 16 rebounds for his 20th double-double of the season, while adding a team-best four blocks. Senior Tim Bond fell just shy of a triple-double, recording 11 points, 12 boards, and eight assists, while also adding two steals. EMU's dominance was reflected on the stat sheet, as the Eagles finished 47.4 percent from the floor on 37-of-78 shooting, while Niagara struggled to a 35.1 percent (26-of74) clip. The Green and White used their size advantage to great effect, out-blocking the Purple Eagles, 11-4, and scoring 54 points in the paint compared to Niagara's total of 30. EMU continued to keep its foot on the gas, as Minnie sank a corner three to cap a 9-0 run and extend the Eagles' lead to 31-13 with 7:04 to go in the first period. The Green and White never relinquished their double-digit cushion and took a 4227 advantage into the locker room. The Eagles showed no signs of complacency to open the second half, as Minnie knocked down back-to-back threes to give the Green and White their largest lead to that point, 6239, with 13:20 left in the final frame. Leading 70-52, Minnie got the home crowd on its feet with a windmill dunk for his career-high 28th and 29th points of the night. In total, nine Eagles recorded at least two points as the Green and White ran away with an 83-65 victory.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team struggled out of the gate and never recovered against Sam Houston State University in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) Monday, March 19, falling 69-62 at the Johnson Coliseum. The Eagles (22-13, 11-7 MAC) trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half and by 12 at the halftime break, but were able to cut the Bearkats’ (20-14, 12-6 Southland) lead down and tie the game on a Jordan Nobles corner three with just under two minutes to go at 62-62. Unfortunately for EMU, SHSU went on a 7-0 run in the final 1:50, holding the Green and White scoreless along the way. Freshman Kevin McAdoo led the way for Eastern with a career-high 23-point effort. Nobles knocked down four threes for a season-high 12 points, while fellow redshirt junior Paul Jackson scored all 12 of his points in the second half. Junior James Thompson IV led all players with 13 rebounds. Sam Houston State dictated play throughout the game’s entirety, winning the rebounding battle 45-36, outscoring Eastern in the paint 34-12, and holding the Eagles to 37-percent (14-of-38) from the floor for the game. EMU committed 11 turnovers and forced SHSU into 10, while shooting just 33-percent (4-of-12) from the charity stripe compared to Sam Houston’s 77-percent (10-of-13). In his final game for the Green and White, senior Tim Bond\ finished with three points, seven rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal. The Baltimore, Md. native will go down as one of the best defenders in Eastern Michigan history, finishing his final year with a program-record 85 steals and the EMU careerrecord of 238. He also goes down as the only player in Eastern laurels to have the combination of 1,000+ points (1,056), 475+ rebounds (490), 350+ assists, (373), 200+ steals (238), and 100+ blocks (106).

FIRST DANCE

After recording a fourth-place finish in the MidAmerican Conference in 1986-87, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team entered the 1987-88 season with hopes of challenging for the league title. The then-Hurons did indeed win the school’s first-ever MAC men’s basketball title and a whole lot more by the time the season officially came to a close, March 18, 1988, in Lincoln, Neb. Senior center Grant Long and freshman point guard Lorenzo Neely were the catalysts for an over-achieving EMU squad that won the MAC regular-season and post -season titles, while qualifying for the school’s first-ever NCAA-Division I Tournament appearance. With Long providing the inside scoring punch with a 23.2 scoring average and Neely running the offense as the point guard, the Hurons won the MAC’s regular-season title with a 14-2 record. Heading into the MAC Tournament as the No. 1 seed, the Green and White knocked off Western Michigan, 9588, in the first round and handed Ohio University a 94-80 setback in the championship tilt. From there it was on to the Bob Devaney Sports Complex at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln for the NCAA regional. The No. 15-seeded Hurons squared off against the No. 2-seeded University of Pittsburgh in the first round, March 18, 1988. The Panthers, paced by the highly touted threesome of Charles Smith (31 points), Demetreus Gore (24 points) and Jerome Lane (22), knocked off the Hurons by a 108-90 count. Eastern was led by guard Brad Soucie with 26. Long, in foul trouble from the start, was limited to 15 points. Neely added 18 points. For the season, Long was named MAC Player of the Year and Neely was voted MAC Freshman of the Year.

“On to the Sweet 16” How sweet it was! A veteran group of players proved that chemistry is indeed important on a basketball team as the 1990-91 squad put EMU on the national basketball map with an extended run at the NCAA Championship. Playing with four seniors in the starting lineup, the 1990-91 team advanced all the way to the “Sweet 16” in the NCAA tournament before falling to national power North Carolina. During that wondrous run into the third round of the NCAA tournament, the Green and White used a combination of power basketball (Marcus Kennedy), high-flying acrobatics (the Thomas twins, Carl and Charles), end-to-end action (Lorenzo Neely and Kory Hallas) and a bench that was small in numbers but big on heart (Joe Frasor and Roger Lewis) to capture the nation’s imagination as a true “Cinderella” team. Eastern was able to make it to the NCAA tournament after winning its second Mid-American Conference regular-season and post-season titles. As MAC tournament champion, Eastern was automatically in the NCAA field of 64 and was sent to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., for the first round, seeded No. 12. Head Coach Ben Braun’s crew Score By Periods came up with two big wins in Syracuse. In the first Team 1st 2nd Final game, Eastern knocked off No. 5 seed Mississippi Eastern Michigan 35 41 76 Mississippi State 28 28 56 State, 76-56, and followed that up with a 71-68 overtime win over No. 13 seed Penn State.

HITTING THE ROAD FOR THE NIT

It just doesn’t get any more exciting than the Eagles’first-ever appearance in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) March 16, 1995. A young Eastern squad finished third in the Mid-American Conference regular season but came on strong in the league’s postseason tournament before bowing to Ball State in the championship game. With Ball State and Ohio receiving NCAA bids, the Green and White anxiously awaited a call from the NIT. Eastern got the nod from the NIT and was sent to Peoria, Illinois, to face off against the Bradley Braves. The Eagles made their first-ever NIT a memorable one with a heartbreaking 86-85 doubleovertime loss to Bradley. With 0:34 left in regulation and trailing by three, EMU guard Brian Tolbert connected on a three-point field goal to tie it and force the first overtime. Eastern raced out to a 76-72 lead in the early stages of the first OT before Bradley rallied to tie at with 0:05 left, making a second overtime a necessity. The Eagles held an 85-84 lead after Theron Wilson made two free throws but Bradley won the game with 0:07 left on two free throws. Eastern had four players in double figures, led by Brian Tolbert with 23, Theron Wilson adding 20, Kareem Carpenter, 19 and Earl Boykins, 13.

Bowen Field House was charged with electricity Sunday, March 12, 1996, when the EMU squad, along with a huge group of fans and supporters, was on hand for the nationally televised NCAA Pairings Show. The packed house of fans roared with excitement and anticipation when it was announced that Eastern Michigan and Duke would be opponents in the Southeast Regional to be played at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Ind. The Duke Blue Devils entered the game seeded No. 8 while the underdog Eagles of Eastern Michigan were seeded No. 9. Playing before a raucous crowd of 31,373 in the RCA Dome, along with a national television audience, the Eastern backcourt tandem of Earl Boykins (23 points) and Brian Tolbert (20) dominated, while Derrick Dial added 12 up front to lead the Eagles to a 75-60 decision in the first round.

The second half belonged to UConn, however, as the Huskies out scored EMU by a 48-33 margin for the 95-81 win. Seniors Tolbert and Theron Wilson closed out their magnificent careers in style, with Tolbert scoring 36, including seven triples, and Wilson adding 18.

NCAA 1997-98: “A TEAM OF DESTINY”

The 1997-98 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad: Front row (L-R) Manager Chad Double, Manager Nate Purcell, Assistant Coach Mike Shedd, Assistant Coach Lorenzo Neely, Head Coach Milton Barnes, Assistant Coach Tony Harvey, Assistant Coach Todd Lickliter, Manager Lonnie Griffin, and Manager Ben Bosserd. Back row (L-R) Jon Zajac, James Head, Derrick Dial, Jamaal Jenks, Avin Howard, Earl Boykins, Sharif Fordham, Charlie Eibeler, Corey Tarrant, Nkechi Ezugwu, and Ajani Williams.

A TEAM OF DESTINY HEADS TO CONNECTICUT

If there was ever a team of destiny, it was the 1997-98 Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball squad. Those 1997-98 Eagles seemed to have it all. Eastern possessed one of the most dynamic backcourts in the country in Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial. Add to that a veteran front line of Jon Zajac, James Head and Nkechi Ezugwu, and the Eagles were ready for postseason action. That group of four seniors, Boykins, Dial, Head and Ezugwu, had gone through the NIT wars as freshmen, and were joined by transfer Zajac in time for the NCAA Big Dance in 1995-96, where the Eagles gained a national reputation with an upset win over Duke before falling to No. 1 seed UConn. Yet, despite a brilliant 22-10 record in 1996-97, the Eagles sat home at tournament time. That postseason snub worked on the competitive egos of the Eagles and they responded with three great outings and won the Mid-American Conference post-season tournament title and the crown of MAC Champions. As the MAC representative to the NCAA Tournament, Eastern had hopes of making some noise at the dance, and when it was announced that EMU would meet Michigan State in the first-round game in Hartford, Conn., the players were excited to get a shot at the Big Ten Co-Champion Spartans. With a national television crowd watching, and a sellout crowd of 16,105 on hand in the Hartford Civic Center, the No. 13- seeded Eagles displayed the poise that they had exhibited over the past four years, racing to an early, 16-9 lead. No. 4 seeded Michigan State then went to its huge size advantage and shut down the Eagles and record an 83-71 win. Dial closed out his brilliant career with a game-high 29 points to go along with eight boards while his backcourt mate, Boykins, was held to 18 points in his final game for the Eagles. Zajac added 10 points for the Eagles.

POSTSEASON BOUND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1998

After a 16-year hiatus, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team made its first postseason appearance since the 1997-98 campaign when the Eagles earned a berth into the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Under third-year head coach Rob Murphy, the Green and White possessed one of the most talented teams in recent history, as the Eagles had a historic season. It was the first season that Eastern had won 20 games in a single year since the 1997-98 season. In addition to that feat, it was also a year that saw EMU tie the most wins since the 1996-97 season. Eastern Michigan entered the Mid-American Conference Tournament as the No. 6 seed, earning its way to Cleveland, Ohio with a victory at home versus Central Michigan. On a neutral court, the Eagles used double-digit deficit comeback victories versus No. 7 Northern Illinois and No. 3 Buffalo in consecutive days to make its first run to the MAC Tournament Semifinal since the 1997-98 season. Despite a loss to the No. 2 seeded Toledo Rockets in the semifinal, the Green and White used its 21 wins to earn a spot in the 32-team field of the CIT. Eastern opened the tournament with a contest versus Norfolk State. In its first postseason contest in 16 years, the men’s basketball team came out victorious over the Norfolk State Spartans, 58-54, in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, March 18, at the Convocation Center. The win marks the first postseason victory in program history since the 1995-96 campaign as well as the most wins for the Eagles (22-14) in a season since they totaled 22 wins in 1996-97. EMU drained 19-of-46 (41.3 percent) from the field as well as 7-of-17 (41.2 percent) from three point land. Mike Talley had a team-high 14 points, including 11 in the first half. Ray Lee added 12 on 5-of-11 shooting. The Eagles shot 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) from the free throw line, making just enough down the stretch to secure the four-point win. On the opposite side of the floor, the nation’s number one field goal percentage defense forced 17 turnovers that led to 18 points.

CIT 2013-14: “SIXTEEN YEARS LATER” CIT: SECOND ROUND The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball saw its 2013-14 season come to an end Saturday, March 22, when the Eagles (22-15) dropped their second round game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, 69-56, at Columbia University. Columbia (21-12) held EMU to just one field goal in the final 9:10 to stifle the Eagles. Ray Lee notched the second-most points in his career after putting up 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting, while Glenn Bryant finished his collegiate career with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal, while shooting 5-of-7 from the floor. Senior center Da’Shonte Riley tied EMU’s single season block record with 96 blocks when he swatted a shot late in the second half. The Green and White shot 40.4 percent on 21-of-52 shooting from the floor, while EMU hit five three pointers. EMU had eight steals in the game.

BACK-TO-BACK POSTSEASON PERFORMANCES

It took 16 years for the Eagles to return to the postseason but the EMU men’s basketball team continued postseason play for the second straight season in 2014-15 by accepting a bid to the College Basketball Invitational when Eastern squared off with the University of Louisiana Monroe for the first time in school history. EMU saw its 2014-15 campaign end Wednesday, March 18, at Monroe, 71-67, in the first round of the 2015 CBI. The Eagles trailed by as many as 16 in the second half, but roared back to take the lead with just over eight minutes remaining. Eastern, however, could not hang on as the Warhawks used free throws to ice the game. Ray Lee led the Green and White in scoring with 17 points, on his way to becoming the first EMU studentathlete to notch 1,000 points in his career since Brandon Bowdry accomplished that feat, Jan. 3, 2010. Tim Bond put on a show as the “true” freshman went for 13 points, six assists, four rebounds, two blocks and two steals in the Eagles’season finale, while Trent Perry went a perfect 4-for-4 from the floor, including a pair of triples to record a career-high 10 points in the loss.

‘MORE TO PROVE’ IN 2017-18 Eastern Michigan finished the 2017-18 season as one of the hottest teams in the Mid-American Conference, winning its last six games to vault itself into a first-round bye at the MAC Tournament. As the dream of an NCAA bid fell short in a one-point semi-final loss to the University of Toledo, the postseason dream lived on with an invitation to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT). The Eagles began the tournament in the friendly confines of the Convocation Center, taking on Niagara University. The game, which pitted the Purple Eagles against the Eagles for the first time since the 1970-71 season, was a dominant display from start to finish by the Green and White. Elijah Minnie paced the Green and White with a careerhigh 29 points on 12-of-19 shooting, converting 5-of-9 attempts from beyond the arc. James Thompson IV tallied 20 points and pulled down a team-high 16 rebounds for his 20th double-double of the season, while adding a team-best four blocks. Tim Bond fell just shy of a triple-double, recording 11 points, 12 boards, and eight assists, while also adding two steals. Unfortunately for Eastern, the run towards a championship was stopped short in the CIT’s second round against Sam Houston State, as the Eagles fell 69-62 at the hands of the Bearkats. EMU trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half and by 12 at the halftime break, but were able to cut SHSU’s lead down and tie the game on a Jordan Nobles corner three with just under two minutes to go at 62-62. Unfortunately for EMU, SHSU went on a 7-0 run in the final 1:50, holding the Green and White scoreless along the way. Freshman Kevin McAdoo led the way for Eastern with a career-high 23-point effort. Nobles knocked down four threes for a season-high 12 points, while fellow redshirt junior Paul Jackson scored all 12 of his points in the second half. Junior James Thompson IV led all players with 13 rebounds.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

126

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 71st year of service to our students. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five-year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships, and will also host the 2019 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sublicensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. For the second time in Mid-American Conference history a member institution will be playing in one of the prestigious New Year’s Six Bowl Games, as MAC Champion Western Michigan will face Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. During the 2016 season, the MAC witnessed six members accept bowl invitations. Western Michigan (Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Arlington, Texas), Ohio (Dollar General Bowl, Mobile, Ala.), Toledo (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Montgomery, Ala.), Central Michigan (Miami Beach Bowl, Miami, Fla.), Miami (St. Petersburg Bowl, St. Petersburg, Fla.) and Eastern Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, Nassau, Bahamas) represented the MAC in bowl games during the 2016 bowl season. The six bowl invitations are one shy of the MAC single-season record of seven bowl invitations during the 2012 and 2016 bowl seasons. This also marks the ninth time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016) in a single-season. In the previous six bowl seasons, the MAC has a record of 11-24 in 35 bowl games – 2016 (0-6); 2015 (3-4); 2014 (2-3); 2013 (0-5); 2012 (2-5); 2011 (4-1). In December of 2016, Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck was named MAC Head Coach of the Year, Broncos WR Corey Davis as the MAC Offensive Player of the Year and KR Darius Phillips was named MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. Also receiving accolades, Ohio DE Tarell Basham earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year, while Bobcats S Javon Hagan was named MAC Freshman of the Year. Western Michigan senior QB Zach Terrell was named the league’s Vern Smith Leadership Award winner and was also named the winner of the 2016 William V. Campbell Trophy by the National Football Foundation as the best football scholar athlete in the nation. In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2017 NFL Draft, Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis was the fifth overall selection by the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection was the highest ever for the Broncos program and tied the second-highest ever draft selection by a student from the MAC. It also marked the third MAC football student selected in the top five of the NFL draft over the last five seasons. In the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, and Montgomery, Ala. for a sixyear period (2014-2019). The creation of the Marmot Boca Raton and Bahamas Bowls were the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the Dollar General Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. During the 2016 football season, Western Michigan won the 2016 Marathon MAC Football Championship Game with a 29-23 win over Ohio on Dec.

2. The win was Western Michigan’s first championship since 1988 and the second football title in program history. Western Michigan entered the bowl season ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 14 in the Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll. The No. 12 AP ranking was the highest in the MAC since Ball State was ranked No. 12 on Nov. 30, 2008 after a 12-0 start. Western Michigan lost a 24-16 decision to No. 8 Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2. Western Michigan ended the season ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll with a 13-1 record. The Broncos were also ranked No. 15 in the sixth and final College Football Playoff ranking on Dec. 4. Western Michigan was bowl eligible for the third straight year. Western Michigan’s 13-0 mark after the Marathon MAC Football Championship was the first for the MAC since former member Marshall finished the 1999 season with a 13-0 record and a No. 10 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. During Western Michigan’s historic 2016 season, ESPN’s College Game Day, college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show, came to the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo on Nov. 19 for the No. 14-ranked Broncos home game vs. Buffalo on ESPNU. This marked only the second time in MAC history for ESPN College GameDay to visit a MAC campus. The previous visit came in 2003 with Northern Illinois at Bowling Green. The MAC had 11 draft selections in the 2017 NFL Draft to tie a MAC modern era (seven rounds) record for the most students drafted in an NFL Draft (2005 NFL Draft). The 11 selections in the 2017 NFL Draft – WR Corey Davis (Western Michigan) by Tennessee (1st Round, 5th overall); OL Taylor Moton (Western Michigan) by Carolina (2nd Round, 64th overall); DE Tarell Basham (Ohio) by Indianapolis (3rd Round, 80th overall); RB Kareem Hunt (Toledo) by Kansas City (3rd Round, 86th overall); WR Kenny Golladay (Northern Illinois) by Detroit (3rd Round, 96th overall); TE Michael Roberts (Toledo) by Detroit (4th Round, 127th overall); LB Blair Brown (Ohio) by Jacksonville (5th Round, 148th overall); DT Treyvon Hester (Toledo) by Oakland (7th Round, 244th overall); LB Keion Adams (Western Michigan) by Pittsburgh (7th Round, 248th overall); DL Pat O’Connor (Eastern Michigan) by Detroit (7th Round, 250th overall); and TE Mason Schreck (Buffalo) by Cincinnati (7th Round, 251st overall).

Cox won the 197-lb. weight class with an 8-2 win over Minnesota’s Brett Pfarr at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis in the 2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships.

History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference membership consists of 12 universities across five states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Ohio). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, there are 11 championships sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis.

Eastern Michigan University Where We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course, and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The university currently serves 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students

With nearly 22,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 4,000 graduate students. Our students represent 49 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are fulltime and 59 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 66 percent white; 18 percent black; 3 percent international; 3 percent Asian-American; 4 percent Hispanic, 0.2 percent Native-American, and 6 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitorystyle rooms to apartments and include living/ learning center options.

Faculty/Staff

Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninetyfour percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 17:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergraduate research.

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business.

Our History

1897: MSNS is the first U.S. teacher’s college to become a four-year institution.

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

The building also played host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and a pair of contests during the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Meanwhile, the EMU men’s basketball team hosted the first round of the 2014 and 2018 CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the program’s first postseason home games. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted acts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies.

Among other events that have taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program. 2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS   Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective studentathlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Do not visit a prospect’s school to acquire films or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility; • Do not have contact with a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) during any of their visits to EMU’s campus; • Do not contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.

Please note, a prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for Basketball). Students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects.

The EMU Identity NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname“Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express. GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.” EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 18 representatives in 56 years, 15 men and three women.
