EMU COACHING STAFF Head Coach Rob Murphy (Sixth Season)

The 2016-17 campaign will mark Head Coach Rob Murphy’s sixth season at the helm of the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball program. In just five seasons since arriving from Syracuse University, Murphy has made great strides at Eastern Michigan. Through his first five seasons. he has accumulated a record of 91-80. In the 2015-16 campaign, the Detroit, Mich. native helped James Thompson IV to earn the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year award. Thompson is just the second 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 secondmost 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 Conference 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 2013-14 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 2012-13 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 implent 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).

Eastern Michigan

Oakland 91

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team used balanced scoring and scrappy defense to defeat the University of Vermont, 70-50, in the opening contest of the 2015-16 season in the Convocation Center, Nov. 13. It was the fifth-straight season opening victory for the Green and White, as Eastern has yet to lose a lid lifter since Head Men’s Basketball Coach Rob Murphy took over the program prior to the 2011-12 campaign. Junior Willie Mangum IV led the team in his EMU debut with 18 points and four steals. The Eagles (1-0, 0-0 MAC) spread the wealth around in the game, with eight different players getting on the stat sheet. Besides Mangum, sophomore Tim Bond netted a career-high 15 points, while senior Brandon Nazione ended the game with his first career double-double, scoring 10 and grabbing a career-best 10 rebounds for the Eagles. Freshman James Thompson IV had a productive game in his EMU debut, finishing one point away from a double-double himself, scoring nine and adding a team-high 11 rebounds. He also led the team in blocks with three. EMU’s vaunted 2-3 zone harassed the Catamounts’ (0-1, 0-0) offensive attack early and often in the contest. The Green and White forced 21 turnovers, the most since the Eagles defeated Marygrove last season, 83-52, Dec. 1, 2014. In addition, Eastern Michigan notched 15 steals, the highest total since the Green and White picked Longwood’s pocket in a 79-48 victory Nov. 23, 2014. Mangum led the team in steals with four takeaways, while Bond and Nazione had three each. The 21 turnovers allowed the Eagles to grab 25 points off of the Catamount miscues. As a team EMU was efficient from the field and the charity stripe, shooting 43.1 percent from the floor and knocking down 78.3 percent of their free throws. On the other end of the floor, the Eagles held Vermont to just a 30.8 percentage, while UV managed just a 55.6 mark from the free throw line, including knocking down just 1-of-6 free throws in the second half. The Green and White were dominating in the paint and in the fast break, outscoring the Catamounts, 34-14, down low, while outscoring UV, 14-0, on the fast break. Two players got into double-digits for the Catamounts, with redshirt-freshman Ernie Duncan scoring a team-high 14 points, while junior Kurt Steidl finished with a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. The Eagles stormed out of the gate; jumping all over the Catamounts for a 15-5 lead thanks to five early points from Mangum. EMU brought immense pressure early on, forcing seven turnovers in the first 10 minutes of the game. The early pressure also brought a lot of fouls EMU’s way, as Vermont entered the bonus midway through the half. UV was efficient at converting the fouls into points, as they shot 75 percent at the line in the first half. The Catamounts would begin to take the advantage back at the seven minute mark, going on a 15-0 run to take a 30-25 lead right before halftime. A late layup from sophomore Ethan Alvano cut the deficit to three, 30-27, at the half. Bond attempted to cut the lead to one, but a charging call following a floating jumpshot was called, forcing EMU into the locker room down three at the break. Beginning the second half, the Eagles quickly tied the game up on a free-throw and a Bond tip-in. The teams would then go blow-for-blow most of the half, with three ties and the lead changing hands twice. Neither team had more than a five-point advantage at any point, until the nine minute mark when the Eastern Michigan offense ignited. A three-point play from Mangum, followed by a bucket from Thompson gave EMU its largest lead of the half, 50-42 at the under-eight media timeout. Following the timeout, the Green and White started to pour it onto the Catamounts. Led by Mangum, with six-straight points, the Eagles finished the second half on a 20-8 run, allowing just eight points in the final 9:52 of the season opening, 70-50, victory at the Convocation Center.

GAME 2 • Nov. 18, 2015 • Athletics Center O’rena • Rochester, Mich.

ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped its first contest of the 2015-16 season in a 91-81 shootout, Wednesday evening, Nov. 18, to Oakland University. The Eagles (1-1) led by as many as nine in the opening stanza, but were unable to spoil opening night at the Athletics Center O’Rena for a Golden Grizzlies (1-0) squad, which finished the first half on a 23-7 run and continued its momentum into the final 20 minutes. Wednesday’s setback was the first for Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles in the last three meetings against Oakland, which entered the contest No. 14 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top-25 Poll. Junior Ty Toney found his offensive stride with 14 second-half points for a game total of 18 (7-of-13) to pace the EMU attack. Toney also added seven rebounds and eight assists, which were the most by an EMU player since Mike Talley’s 10 dimes at Miami University, Jan. 10, 2015. Junior Willie Mangum IV filled 5-of-14 shots from beyond the arc for 15 points before fouling out late in the game and freshman James Thompson IV added eight points and eight rebounds in the loss. Also in double figures were Redshirt junior Jodan Price (15 points; 5-of-12) and senior Brandon Nazione (11 points; 4-of-9). Price set a career-high with 15 points, while Nazione tied his career-best. As a team, Eastern Michigan shot 30-of-76 (39.5 percent) from the field and 7-of-30 (23.3 percent) from downtown. At the free-throw line, the Green and White hit 14-of-19 (73.7) shots. Oakland went to the line early and often in the first half and finished the game 21-of-24 (87.5 percent) from the charity stripe. The Grizzlies converted 12-of-31 (38.7 percent) three-pointers to go with a 29-of-71 (40.8 percent) showing overall. Kahlil Felder finished with a double-double (27 points, 12 assists) for Oakland and was one-of-four Grizzlies to attain double-digit points. Percy Gibson also notched double-double with 25 points and 10 boards. Sherron Dorsey-Walker ended the game with 19 points, while Max Hooper added 12. Eastern Michigan forced eight Oakland turnovers during the first seven minutes, with Bond taking advantage of one of those OU giveaways by stuffing home a dunk to give the Eagles a four-point edge, 18-14. Oakland’s offense sputtered midway through the half as the Grizzlies managed just 7-of-21 from the field with 7:39 showing on the clock. EMU took advantage with three unanswered buckets including a triple from Magnum. The visiting Eagles pulled ahead, 25-16. Thompson was forced to take at seat after his second foul with 7:10 to play in the half. After that, the Grizzlies’ offense ended the half on a 23-7 run and sent the Eagles into halftime trailing, 39-32. Oakland’s run was highlighted by a Hooper three-pointer, which gave the home squad its first lead since early in the game, 30-29. Despite good looks from the offense, the Eagles struggled to regain their scoring touch while fouls allowed the Grizzlies into the double bonus. Oakland sunk 13-of-14 free throws in the period to go along with 11-of-35 (31.4 percent) shooting. EMU ended the half 14-of-38 (36.8 percent) from the floor and 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) from long range. Felder fed Gibson on consecutive lay-ins to open the second-half scoring. Sophomore Tim Bond stuffed another OU scoring chance under the basket for EMU’s fourth block of the night, but Gibson completed the possession with another two points. Following an EMU turnover, Hooper cashed in on another three-ball as Oakland broke out to a 48-34 lead with 17:28 left in the contest. Toney continued his strong performance on both sides of the ball to get the Eagles back to within 10 points, 60-50. The junior guard forced a turnover and ran the length of the court for the score and his eighth point of the night. At 6:54, Toney would strike again. He would be followed by Mangum, who buried his fifth triple of the evening to cut what was once a 22-point Oakland lead to nine, 76-67. Mangum fouled out with 5:47 to play, leaving it up to the rest of the EMU offense to stage a comeback. Contributions from Toney and Price kept the Eagles alive, but the Grizzles responded on each occasion sending EMU away with the 91-81 setback.

Siena Heights

Eastern Michigan

ROCHESTER, Mich. – Behind a record-setting shooting performance from junior Willie Mangum IV, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team (2-1, 0-0 MAC) cruised to a 79-34 victory over Siena Heights University Friday, Nov. 20 at the Convocation Center. The 34 points were the fewest given up by EMU since a 42-25 victory over Northern Illinois, Jan. 26, 2013. Mangum finished with a career-high 29 points on 12-15 shooting (80 percent). The hot shooting percentage tied a school record for field-goal percentage in a game, making 10-or-more field goals, with fellow teammate Ray Lee, who also shot 12-of15 from the field on his way to scoring 38 points vs. UT Arlington, Nov. 23, 2013. The Richmond, Va. native also went a perfect 2-of-2 from three point range, while adding seven rebounds and four steals. Also having a big day was senior Brandon Nazione, who finished with his second career double-double, going for career highs in points (14) and rebounds (11). Seven other Eagles got in the scoring book in the game. Freshman James Thompson IV, despite fouling out midway through the second half, had a career-high five blocks in the contest. Sophomore Tim Bond also had a career-high four steals. The Green and White dominated in all facets of the game. Eastern shot 52 percent from the floor (31-of-59), while holding Siena Heights to just 21 percent (13-of-61). EMU’s defense forced 25 turnovers including 15 steals, scoring 29 points off of them. The 25 turnovers were the most the Green and White have forced since Western Michigan made 26 miscues against the Eagles in a 56-37 win at the Convocation Center, Jan. 14, 2014. The biggest disparity of the contest was in the paint, as EMU outscored the Saints 46-16 down low. Eastern Michigan faced a little early adversity, trailing by one at the under 16 timeout. Coming out of the break, Mangum began to take over scoring 14 points as part of a 21-3 run to take a commanding 28-9 lead at the five minute mark. As always, EMU brought immense pressure on the defensive side of the ball. They forced 18 turnovers in the first half, and turned them into 16 of points. As a result of the pressure, EMU took a 39-12 lead into the break. The 12 points were the fewest allowed in a half by EMU since the 2013 season opener when the Eagles held Albion College to 11 in the first half. The Eagles went on to outscore Siena 32-6 over the final 15 minutes of the frame. Momentum carried over into the second half for the Eagles, as EMU did not allow a point until the 13:05 mark. By that time the Green and White had extended their lead to 54-15 with seven of the points coming from Magnum. With the big lead, EMU saw numerous players come off the bench and perform well in the second half. Most notable of which was freshman LaMonta Stone II (Detroit, Mich.-River Rouge), who scored his first career points as an Eagle on a tough layup. Stone, playing in just his second career game, finished with the two points, as well as three assists and a rebound. Down the stretch EMU led by as many as 47 before polishing off the 45 point victory. The differential was the largest margin of victory for the Eagles since the Green and White topped Concordia, 100-42, Dec. 28, 2014.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Behind a red-hot three point shooting performance, the No. 3/4 ranked Michigan State University Spartans ran away from the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team, 89-65, Monday night, Nov. 23, in non-conference action at the Breslin Center. Junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands)) led the Eagles offensively, scoring 18 points and tying his season high. Junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) also finished in double digits with 10 points. The Green and White had a little trouble finding the stroke throughout the game, shooting 34 percent (23-of-68) from the field and 26 percent (5-for-19) from deep. Meanwhile, the other Green and White were lights out all game, shooting 45 percent from three (9-of-20) and 48 percent (31-for-64) from the field. Despite the big shooting performance, EMU’s defense was still able to force pressure on MSU, notching 13 turnovers on the Spartans, and turning them into 15 points. EMU only turned the ball over four times themselves, the fewest since totalling four last season against Concordia University. Of the 15 TO’s, seven of them were steals for EMU, with six different Eagles getting in on the takeaways. The Eagles jumped out initially to a 4-0 lead but the Spartans were quick to respond with an 8-0 run. At the eight minute mark, EMU only trailed by five points before being outscored 20-10 the rest of the way to trail by a 40-25 margin at the half. Michigan State maintained their steady lead all throughout the first period, led by their three-point shooting. MSU shot 45 percent in the first half, making 5 of 11 opportunities. It was the main difference, as EMU out-played MSU in the paint, outscoring them 16-10. Michigan State also made the most of their free throw attempts, making 13 of 17, compared to EMU who only had two opportunities from the charity stripe, making one. MSU’s three-point assault did not slow down in the second half, as the Spartans hit three more in the first four minutes. This would lead them on a 24-11 run out of the break to take the commanding 64-36 lead. MSU would hold steady and go on to lead by as many as 34 throughout the rest of the second half, cruising to the victory. In the second half, EMU continued to battle and saw some notable performances from key bench players. Redshirt senior Jordan Martin (Detroit, Mich.-Chandler Park Academy (Oakland C.C.) poured in a career-high six points, while redshirt sophomore Trent Perry (Franklin, Tenn.-Independence) hit a pair of three-point shots to finish with six as well. True freshman Lamonta Stone II (Detroit, Mich.-River Rouge) also reached a career-high in his young with five points. Eastern now gets back to the Convocation Center on Wednesday, Nov. 25 for a matinee showdown with Marygrove College. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN3.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Behind a career-day from freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team cruised to a 108-64 victory over Marygrove College Wednesday, Nov. 25 at the Convocation Center. It was the first time EMU scored 100-plus points since Dec. 29, 2014 in a 100-42 win over Concordia University (Mich.) and the most points scored by an EMU team since the 2008-09 season when EMU put up 119 against Marygrove, Nov. 14. Thompson finished with an EMU season-best 32 points on 92.8 percent (13-of-14) shooting, as well as grabbing 13 rebounds for his first career double-double. It was the first 30-plus point game by an EMU player since Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) scored 32 against Akron last season, Feb. 14. It was also tied for the sixth-most points scored in a game in Convo history, and the most since Lee put up 38 versus the University of Texas Arlington, Nov. 23, 2013. In addition, Thompson’s 26 first half points were the most scored by an Eagle since Lee dropped 31 in the second half of Eastern’s 76-73 loss to Ohio University a season ago, Feb. 7, 2015. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) and junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall) also finished in double-figures with a career-high 17 for Nazione and 17 for Mangum, while sophomore Ethan Alvano (Corona, Calif.-Corona) marked his career-best in points with 13. Meanwhile sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College HS) finished with a career-high nine assists. The Eagles finished lights out from the field, scoring on 53.4 percent of their attempts. More than half of their points came from inside the paint, as they outscored the Mustangs down low, 62-20. They also out rebounded Marygrove, 53-35. The EMU defense continued to cause problems for the opponents’ offense, as the Eagles forced 23 turnovers while recording 11 steals. Alvano and redshirt senior Jordan Martin (Detroit, Mich.-Chandler Park Academy) each had a career-high three takeaways. Sophomore Isaac Gillum led the Mustangs with 18 points. The early game plan for EMU was attack the undersized Marygrove team down low, as they fed Thompson early and often. The freshman surpassed his career-high in points in the first seven minutes of the contest. In total, he made his first eight field goals, all in the paint, and went 10-of-11 finishing with 26 first half points. That marked the most points in a half by an Eagle since Lee versus Ohio last season, Feb. 7. Despite the dominance by Thompson, the Mustangs would hang around, trailing by only two to four points for the first half of the first period. EMU would continue chipping away thanks to Thompson, and gain its first double-digit lead at the six minute mark. The Eagles would go on to lead by as many as 17 in the half before taking a 51-34 lead into the break. Out of the break, EMU went on a 17-2 run to take a commanding 68-36 lead. The run was spearheaded by eight Nazione points, including four via thunderous dunks, to put him over his career-high. From there EMU coasted down the stretch, outscoring Marygrove, 40-28, in the final 15 minutes and take the victory. The Eagles will remain at home heading into the weekend with a matchup with Madonna University, Saturday, Nov. 28. Tip-off from the Convo is set for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN3.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Behind the second straight double-double from freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team defeated Madonna University, 79-63, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 28, at the Convocation Center. The 6-foot-10 center went for a game-high 23 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. Also getting into double digits for EMU was junior Willie Mangum (Richmond, Va.-Marshall), who had 14, and senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell), who finished with 11 and a career-high four steals. The Eagles played lock-down defense once again, as they finished with another double digit steal game, notching 13 takeaways and forcing 22 turnovers. To go along with the high turnover rate, they played extremely disciplined, as they only committed 10 fouls throughout the entire game. As a result, Madonna only had five free throws in the 40 minutes. The size advantage was also evident for the Eagles. They outscored Madonna, 44-20, in the paint and outrebounded the Crusaders, 52-31. The Eagles got it done on both sides of the ball early in the game, running out to a 20-4 lead midway through the first half. EMU forced the Crusaders with early defensive pressure, notching seven steals in the first ten minutes. EMU continued to play consistently through the rest of the half, as they also forced three more steals, finishing with 10 in the first. To go along with the stifling defense, EMU held Madonna off the free throw line as the Crusaders went 0-for-2 from the charity stripe in the first half, while also holding them to just 25 percent shooting from the field. Thompson got into double digits in the first 20 minutes, with 12 points, while also snagging seven rebounds. Using these advantages, EMU took a 38-16 lead at halftime. The second half was more of the same for Eastern, as they extended the lead to 57-31 at the 10-minute mark, with Mangum and Thompson combining for 13 of those points. In all, Thompson went for 11 points in the second half to lead the way. The Green and White would go on to lead by as many as 25 points, yet Madonna would hit nine second half three point shots to keep it close. The Eagles prevailed in the end though with a 16-point victory. Eastern will now leave the state of Michigan for the first time this season when it travels to Nebraska to take on the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.

Omaha 73 OMAHA, Neb. – Behind the third-straight double-double from freshman center James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team made it three consecutive non-conference wins in a row with an 80-73 victory over the University of Nebraska Omaha Tuesday, Dec. 1. The Eagles (5-2) held the Mavericks (3-4) to 17 points less than its average offensive output. Eastern Michigan had five student-athletes post double-digit scoring performances with Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) registering a team-best 17 points while dropping in nine free throws and dishing out five assists in his first game of the 2015-16 season. Thompson put together another dominant performance, dropping 16 points, tying his career-best with 15 rebounds, while knocking down 8-of-13 shots. Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) poured in 13 points, while Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) added 12 more to go along with seven boards. In addition, Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day) knocked down three triples en route to a 10-point performance.

Tre’Shawn Thurman led the Mavericks with 25 points, while Devin Patterson and Jake White added 16 and 14 points, respectively. Both Thurman and White delivered double-doubles with 11 and 12 rebounds. The Green and White held Omaha to a 37.1 shooting percentage and just a 23.5 three-point percentage. EMU forced ONU into 16 turnovers in the victory. The Eagles opened up by scoring the first four points of the game in the first minute and a half, but Omaha did not let that deter its offense, taking its first lead at 5-4 with 16:15 left in the opening stanza. Lee stepped foot on the game floor for the first time this season with 15:01 on the clock, prompting Eastern and the Mavericks to trade blows for much of the first half, before Lee dished out a pair of assists on back-to-back trips down the floor as Price and Bond each tripled to put the Eagles ahead, 20-14, with 11:12 remaining. Again back-and-forth buckets saw the Green and White leading by six, 26-20, but with 8:19 on the clock a three-point shot from Lee sparked an 18-3 run over a nearly six minute span to jump out to its largest lead of the game, 42-23, with 2:05 left in the half. A pair of free throws with just over a minute remaining closed out the scoring for the first 20 minutes of play as Omaha’s Patterson brought the Mavericks within 17, 42-25, heading into the break. In the first half, the Eagles outshot Omaha, connecting at a 39.5 percent clip, while the Mavericks knocked down just 31 percent of its shot attempts. Lee led the scoring charge with 11 points, including a pair of three-balls, while dishing out four assists. In addition Thompson posted a first half double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, hitting on five of his seven field goal attempts. Omaha’s Thurman led the Mavericks with 13 points and eight rebounds, knocking down six-of-nine shot opportunities. Omaha jumped back into the game outscoring the Eagles by seven points in the first four minutes of the second half, bringing the game to within 10, 48-38, with 14:52 minutes left in the game. The Eagles responded with five straight points, grabbing a 15-point, 53-38, advantage with 13:05 left. Eastern and Omaha traded buckets, until a 5-0 Maverick run brought ONU within 10 again, 60-50, at the nine minute mark. Eastern and Omaha continued to throw punches but the Eagles were able to maintain a double-figure lead until six-straight points from the Mavericks made it a 73-67 EMU lead. Eastern pushed the lead back out to 10 and held on through the final minutes until walking off the court with an 80-73 victory for the Eagles’ first road win of the 2015-16 campaign. The Eagles will remain on the road Saturday, Dec. 5, when they square off with Big Ten Conference opponent Penn State University at the Bryce Jordan Center.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Despite James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) recording his fourth double-double in as many games, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was unable to take down Penn State University at the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday, Dec. 5. The Eagles (5-2) fell, 81-70, as the Nittany Lions (5-2) used a 19-5 run over the final eight minutes in the first half to take the lead and never look back. Thompson led the Eagles in scoring with 18 points, while also pacing the Green and White in rebounds with 14. The Baton Rouge, La. native went 4-of-5 from the floor and cashed in at the charity stripe, knocking down 10 of his 14 free throw attempts. Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) added 15 points on 7-of-14 shooting, while Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) led the Eastern Michigan in assists with five dimes. Penn State’s Brandon Taylor led all-scorers in the contest with 27 points, while Payton Banks and Shep Garner added 17 and 16, respectively. Taylor shot a hot 4-of-8 from three-point land while connecting on 9-of-19 overall shot attempts. EMU outshot the Nittany Lions, hitting at a 42.6 percent, while PSU shot just 36.1 percent from the floor. It was Penn State’s three-point shooting and rebounding that gave the Nittany Lions the edge in the contest. PSU knocked down 42.9 percent (9-of-21) of its triples to EMU’s 23.5 percent (4-of-17) while out-rebounding the Eagles, 49-32. The Green and White scored the opening bucket as Thompson hit a right-handed hook shot, but Penn State responded with four-straight points. After trading baskets, the Eagles registered seven points in a row to take a three-point, 11-8, lead with 14:22 on the clock in the first half. PSU punched back, regaining the lead by two, 13-11, with 13:12 left in the opening stanza.

EMU continued lockdown defense without giving up fouls, as they only had three at the half and 11 overall. The Eagles got off to a hot start, shooting 60 percent from the floor through the first media timeout. The Green and White defense caused fits for the Rochester offense, as EMU had nine steals throughout the first half. With 8:20 left in the half, the Eagles led 34-21 behind eight from Thompson and seven apiece from Bond and Mangum. With seven minutes to go in the first, EMU held a 26-8 advantage in points in the paint due to the Thompson’s size advantage. The offense continued to roll, as at halftime, the Eagles led 51-28 behind a 21-of-35 shooting performance from the floor. The Green and White held a 32-12 points in the paint advantage, as Thompson was already on his way to another double-double. The Green and White continued their tear from the floor in the second half, as Nazione began the half with a steal and three-point play. With 15:58 remaining in the game, EMU was 25-of-39 from the floor, paced by Mangum who was 6-of-7 and 3-of-4 from downtown. Thompson continued battling on the boards throughout the half, as he picked up his ninth with an offensive rebound and dunk with 12 minutes remaining in the game. After being hot throughout the game, the offense slowed down near the 10-minute mark. However, Mangum got the team back on track with a layup and a quick three to finish the day with 22 points.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Powered by Eastern Michigan University senior forward Brandon Nazione’s (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) career-high 23 points, the EMU men’s basketball team came from nine points back to knock off the University of Detroit Mercy, 88-73, at the Convocation Center Monday, Dec. 28. The Eagles (8-4, 0-0 MAC) struggled offensively in the first half but a 57 point second half outburst gave the Green and White the win over the Titans (6-5, 0-0 Horizon). Nazione posted his career high in points, while grabbing a team-high seven rebounds while also notching a career-high five steals. The other players with doubledigit scoring nights were junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) with 16, redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) with 15 points, sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) who had 12, and freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), whose double-double streak ended at seven with 10 points and four rebounds. As a team, EMU shot 44.8 percent (30-of-67) from the floor, but made up a good chunk of their points at the free throw line, converting 80 percent (24-of-30) of their attempts. The Green and White struggled from downtown hitting just 18.2 percent (4of-22) of their three-point attempts. A key to victory was in the turnover department, Eastern coughed up the rock just 10 times, while it forced 23 turnovers, while increasing their Mid-American Conference leading steal average grabbing 13. The Eagles turned in 25 points of turnovers, while manhandling the Titans in the paint, outscoring them 48-30 down low. Detroit was fast out of the gates, starting on a 7-0 run and leading by that margin for almost eight minutes. Around the 12 minute mark, Eastern went on a 7-0 run of their own, spearheaded by a Bond three, to tie things up at 16 apiece. Despite the tie, EMU wasn’t able to grasp a lead in the following minutes as Detroit stayed strong and led most of the rest of the way until just under two minutes when EMU tied it once again on a Mangum tip-in. Mangum gave EMU their first lead of the game with just under 30 seconds by knocking down a triple, making making it 31-30 in favor of the home squad. However, Detroit answered right back with a three right before the buzzer to take the 33-31 lead into the half. The Green and White’s offense was pourous in the first half, scoring just 31 points on 10-of-33 (30.3 percent) from the floor. Lee and Nazione led the Eastern Michigan offense with six points apiece. The second half started off in back and forth fashion before another Mangum three gave EMU a brief four point lead, 40-36, with 17:05 left in the game. Detroit was able to tie the game back up, but EMU answered back with a 13-3 run to take a 10 point lead, 53-43, at the 12 minute mark. The run was fueled by a three-point play from Lee, followed immediately by a steal and lay-in from Bond, throwing the crowd into a frenzy. The lead would be as much as 11 before the Eagles maintained a steady lead heading into the under eight timeout. EMU pushed its lead got back to 10 briefly, before Detroit began to stage another comeback at the four minute mark, getting to within five points. The comeback would be stopped in its tracks though as five-straight Eagle points extended the lead back at 10. From there the Green and White would go on to put the game away for the 15-point victory, 88-73. Eastern is now off until after the New Year when it returns to the Convocation Center for its non-conference finale against the University of North Florida, Saturday, Jan. 2. Tip-off is scheduled for noon, and will be immediately followed by the women’s basketball game against Buffalo at 2:30 p.m.

North Florida

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Despite six student-athletes reaching double digits in scoring, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped their non-conference finale to the University of North Florida, 82-77, Saturday, Jan. 2. It was a tight game from wire-to-wire, as neither team led by more than seven points. Leading in the scoring column for the Eagles (8-5, 0-0 MAC) was freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), who finished with 18 and nine rebounds. Thompson was a perfect 9-of-9 from the floor, coming away just one rebound shy of his eighth double-double of the year. The others registered double digit scoring efforts includedredshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) with 15, junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands/Appalachian St.)) who had 13, junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) who had 11, and redshirt junior Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (Depaul)) ,as well as senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)), who each had 10. Nazione finished with the third double-double of his career, as he had 10 rebounds as well. As a team, EMU shot 49.2 percent from the field (29-of-59), while hitting 36 percent of their threes (9-of-25). The nine triples marked the highest to this point in the 2015-16 season, nearly doubling the Eagles’ season average. They out rebounded the Ospreys (11-6, 0-0 ASun), 31-30, and forced two more turnovers, including nine steals. Meanwhile, the often hot three point shooting North Florida squad was sharp once again, connecting on 45.8 percent of their three point attempts (11-of-24). Both the Eagles and Ospreys came out firing, both shooting over 60 percent in the first seven minutes. As UNF often does, they started by shooting at a high volume from beyond the arc, hitting six of their first 10 triple tries. Despite the aerial assault, EMU remained in the game by pounding the paint and shooting better than 60 percent (14-of-23) from the field early on. At the under-eight timeout the score sat at 34-28 in the Eagles’ favor. The six-point lead proved to be the furthest EMU would be ahead of UNF in the first half, as the Ospreys showed no signs of slowing down. Grinding their way back, they retook the lead with just under two minutes to go until the first stanza, whichwas North Florida’s first lead since the 17:50 mark. After trading a few points down the stretch, North Florida took a 46-45 lead into the break. Lee and Price led the EMU offense in the opening frame pitching in 10 points apiece, while Mangum was an efficient 3-of-4 from the floor, knocking down a pair of three pointers, good for eight points. As a team, the Green and White connected on 54.8 percent (17-of-31) of its attempts from the floor, whille hitting 41.7 percent (5-of-12) of its three point attempts. Eastern struggled from the charity stripe, converting on just six of its 11 attempts (54.5 percent). UNF began the second half by going on a 5-0 run to jump out to a quick six point lead, however, back-to-back buckets from Lee and Nazionekept the Ospreys from extending their advantage. With the deficit down to one, UNF went on another run, scoring six straight to take its largest lead of seven, 61-54, lead with just under 12 minutes to play. Needing a quick response, EMU got it from Toney as he nailed back-to-back three point shots to whittle the deficit down to just one point with nine minutes to go. Over the next five minutes of action, EMU could not break through to get the lead back, trailing between two and fourpoints the whole way, and ultimately trailing 75-71 heading into the final media timeout. Out of the timeout, EMU staged a 6-0 run, with four of the points coming from Thompson, to take back the lead for the first time since the first half at 77-75. UNF responded immediately with their 11th three of the game to regain the advantage. Following an empty possession from EMU, UNF nailed a jumper to take a three point edge with 30 seconds to go. Coming out of a timeout, EMU was unable to execute the play they had drawn up, as they turned the ball on an errant pass. After fouling to send UNF to the free throw line, the first attempt was missed, giving EMU the chance to tie things up. The ensuing Mangum three-pointer came up short, and North Florida captured the rebound and put in a late bucket to seal the 82-77 victory. With non-conference play in the books for Eastern, the Eagles now turn their attention towards Mid-American Conference play opening up the MAC campaign Wednesday, Jan. 6. The Green and White head to Mount Pleasant, Mich. for a 7 p.m. contest with Central Michigan University. Fans can tune into 89.1 FM WEMU for all of the action from McGuirk Arena.

GAME 14 • Jan. 6, 2016 • McGuirk Arena • Mt. Pleasant, Mich.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Opening up Mid-American Conference action, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team traveled north to Mount Pleasant, Mich. to square off with the MAC preseason favorite Central Michigan University, Jan. 6. The Eagles (9-5, 1-0 MAC) put on an offensive clinic, defeating the Chippewa (7-7, 0-1 MAC), 99-80. The 99 points was the most EMU has scored versus an NCAA Division I opponent since Jan. 7, 2003 when the Green and White matched that total in a victory over Navy. As a team, the Green and White shot 66 percent (33-of-50) from the floor, including 72 percent (18-of-25) in the second half. The Eagles’ overall shooting percentage not only was the best this season and in EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy’s tenure, but the number ranks as the second-best team field goal percentage in a single game in Eastern Michigan history. In addition, EMU connected on 65 percent (13-of-20) three point attempts, good for the best in school laurels. Eastern’s potent offense was led by redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) who poured in a game-high and season-best 32 points, while junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)), redshirt junior Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (DePaul)) and freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) each recorded 19. For Price, the 19 points were a career-high, while he also connected on a career-best five three pointers. Thompson led the game in rebounding with 14 caroms. On the opposite side of the floor, the Chippewas hit on 44.4 percent (28-of-63) of their shots, while connecting on 39.3 percent (11-of-28) of their three point opportunities. Josh Kozinski led CMU off the bench with 18 points, posting six three point makes, while four other Chippewas recorded double-digit scoring nights. EMU opened the scoring with an old fashioned three-point play in the first possession of the game as Thompson was fouled on a layup, before hitting the and-one opportunity. The score went back-and-forth for the first five minutes of the game before CMU went on a 14-4 run where Kozinski knocked down four three-balls before setting up Chris Fowler on mid-range jumper, giving the Chippewas a 10-point, 24-14 lead at the 11:19 mark. Central was able to get up by as many as 11, 28-17, with 9:50 left in the half, but the Eagles didn’t wilt as they fought back to a seven-point deficit before a three-point barrage began for EMU. Lee sparked an 11-5 Eastern run, bringing EMU to within five, 36-31, with 4:50 on the clock. At the 4:29 mark, Price began a 13-2 run to give Eastern its biggest lead of six, 38-44, with just over a minute on the clock. Through that run, the Eagles knocked down four three pointers before the Chippewas were able to bring it within four, 45-41, to head into the break. Eastern was lights out in the opening 20 minutes, shooting 60 percent (15-of-25) from the floor, including a 66.7 mark (8-of-12) from beyond the arc. Price and Mangum led the way with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Both Price and Mangum hit 3-of-4 from downtown, while Lee was able to post a pair of triples in the first half. In addition, Thompson went a perfect 3-for-3, scoring eight, while leading grabbing a half-high eight rebounds. The Green and White’s high octane offense continued to cruise in the second half, never losing the lead after the Chippewas tied up the game, 47-47, with 18:45 left in the game on a Braylon Rayson triple. Lee responded on the next trip with a three pointer of his own, followed up by two more EMU treys to give Eastern a seven point, 56-49, lead with 17:03 remaining. The two squads traded blows over the next four minutes before Lee, Thompson and Mangum scored buckets on three-straight trips down to the floor, giving the Green and White its biggest lead of eight to that point, 66-58. With the eight-point advantage, the Eagles started up a 14-4 run to grab an 18 point, 83-65 advantage with 4:53 left. The EMU offense continued on cruise control adding to its scoring total on five of its next six trips down the floor, capped off by an alley-oop dunk from Thompson, assisted by Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) to give the Green and White a 20 point, 93-73, edge. The Eagles added on to their lead with 1:28 left when Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) sank a pair of free throws to give EMU its largest lead, 99-77, before Central connected on three free throws in the final minute to give Eastern the 99-80 victory on the road. The Eagles remain on the road for their second MAC contest of the 2015-16 campaign when they travel to DeKalb, Ill. to take on Northern Illinois University. Game time is slated for 8:30 p.m. ET from the NIU Convocation Center.

DEKALB, Ill. - In its second consecutive game on the road, the Eastern Michigan University basketball team dropped a road contest, 80-63, against Northern Illinois University, Jan. 9. Freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La. – Parkview Baptist) paced the Eagles, posting 23 points and eight rebounds while tying the NCAA record for consecutive made field goals. Thompson managed to convert his 26th straight field goal, tying Torian Oglesby, who set the record in 2012 over the course of seven games at Bowling Green. The Baton Rouge, La. native finished the game 8-of-9 from the field, just missing setting a new record. Redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich. – Romulus) was the only other Eagle in double digits, as he posted 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich. – Howell) was disruptive on the defensive end, forcing five steals. Although the Eagles shot at a 44.2 percent clip, they only managed to get off 43 shots in total, compared to 56 from NIU. They were, however, solid from the free throw line, converting 20-of-26 attempts. The Eagles defense forced NIU into a season high 18 turnovers on the night, 13 of which were steals by the Green and White. NIU gained an early lead before Thompson converted a layup and was fouled in the process. After sinking the free throw, the Huskies came up empty on the other end and Price drained a jumper to give EMU the early 5-2 lead. The two teams traded baskets, with EMU holding the lead, 13-12, with 13:52 to go. Thompson quickly reached double figures in scoring, as he had 11 points with 13:18 remaining in the first half. The Huskies opened a 28-21 lead before Nazione sank three from the line to bring EMU within four, and a transition bucket from Lee made the score 31-27 in favor of NIU. Following the two teams going back and forth, junior Willie Mangum (Richmond, Va. – Marshall) drained a three to make the score 35-30 with 1:35 to go. Eastern could not muster any more offense in the half, as the Huskies went into the locker room with a 40-30 halftime lead. Coming out of the break, Thompson missed two free throws, but Lee was there to scoop up the board. Junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga. – Alpharetta) then began a streak in which three Eagles made consecutive threes, including Toney, sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md. – City College High School), and then Lee. Following the barrage from downtown, EMU reduced the NIU lead to four. Thompson was then sent to the line on back-to-back possessions, and he knocked down all four from the charity stripe to pull the Green and White within two. A steal by Nazione led to a Lee layup on the other end, tying the game at 47 apiece. Lee then followed that up by knocking down two free throws to give EMU the 49-47 lead. From there, however, the Huskies offense roared back and took the lead. A Nazione three cut into their lead, but with 6:50 left, Northern led 61-52. EMU had a chance to mount a late comeback after coming within seven at the four-minute mark, but the offense couldn’t get anything going down the stretch. NIU ran out the clock and the Eagles fell by a final score of 80-63. The Green and White continue their season at home with a home game against Buffalo, Jan. 12. The Tuesday matchup is slated to begin at 7 p.m. in the Convocation Center.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team opened the Mid-American Conference home schedule with a scrappy, 81-69, victory over the University at Buffalo, Tuesday, Jan. 12 at the Convocation Center. Five Eagles (10-6, 2-1 MAC) finished with double figure scoring performances for EMU as junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) led the way with 17 points. Freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) finished with his ninth double-double of the season, totaling 13 points and 12 rebounds. Other Eagles in double-digit points were redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) and senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) with 14 points apiece, while junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) poured in 11. Toney also finished with a career-high five steals, while dishing out three assists. Defensively, the Green and White blocked seven shots as both Nazione and Thompson swatted the Bulls on three occasions, while Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) added one stuff of his own. As a team, EMU shot 40.7 (22-of-54) from the field, as well as 74.5 (35-of-47) from the free throw line. The 35 free throw makes ties the third-most in a single game in Eastern Michigan history. The Eagles notched 16 steals in the contest, as well as forcing 23 turnovers, turning those into 28 points. Sloppy play forced the officials to pull out the whistles as the two squads finished with 59 combined fouls and three players fouling out. The first half began with Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (DePaul)) burying a three, followed by a nice dish from Lee to Thompson for a 5-0 lead early in the game. Buffalo quickly raced back to take a 6-5 lead with 16:30 to go in the half before Nazione put the Eagles back up by one. Back and forth play continued throughout the first period, as neither team could get into an offensive rhythm. After a three, the Bulls jumped back out front with 11:45 to go. The Eagles responded with a few nice sequences, as Bond finished at the rim to pull within three, and on the following possession had a huge rundown block to stop a breakaway from the Bulls. With nine minutes left in the first half, the score stood at 16-13, as Buffalo maintained their lead. Trent Perry (Franklin, Tenn.-Independence) was then fouled and converted both free throws, pulling the Eagles back within two, 17-15. More shots from the charity stripe by Lee tied the game back up at 17 apiece, and a steal and breakaway dunk from Bond put the Green and White ahead, 19-17, with seven minutes to go. From there, both teams continued going back and forth with one squad unable to hold the lead. Through the last five minutes of the first half, both the Bulls and Eagles were regularly getting to the free throw line. However, a late jumper from Lee gave EMU the 32-31 lead as teams headed to the locker rooms. Despite being outrebounded, 28-13, in the opening 20 minutes, the Eagles held serve after shooting 37 percent (10-of-27) from the floor. The Green and White took a lead into the break in large part to forcing the Bulls in 14 first half turnovers. Toney led the EMU offense in the first stanza with nine points, while Nazione added seven. Eastern held Buffalo to a 37.5 shooting percentage (9-of-24) in the first half, while knocking down just 2-of-10 shots from downtown. Both sides went to the free throw line 17 times in the opening half, connecting on 11 apeice for 64.7 percent. Coming out of the break, Lee hit a jumper to score the first points of the half, making the score 34-31. EMU steadily increased the lead, culminating into a fast break layup from Mangum to give EMU its first double-digit lead, 56-46, at the 9:14 mark. UB answered back with a three to make it 56-49, but Eastern followed with a pair of Mangum free throws and a Toney fast break layup to take a 60-49 lead. The lead extended to 13 after a pair of Thompson free throws, but a UB three cut the lead to ten. EMU answered right back with a Mangum three ball, giving EMU the 65-52 lead with just over seven minutes to play. UB continued to chip away, getting the deficit down to eight points a minute later, but the Eagles answered back with an 8-2 run, grabbing a 14-point, 75-61, advantage at the 3:15 mark. Eastern Michigan held strong the rest of the way out, not letting UB get within single digits again, taking the 12-point, 81-69, win.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Despite mounting a furious second half rally, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell at home, 84-79, against the Bowling Green State University. After being down 20 with 15 minutes left to play, the Eagles (10-7, 2-2 MAC) managed to tie it up within the final minutes but the Falcons (12-5, 3-1 MAC) were able to fend off Eastern Michigan. EMU was paced by redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) with 29 points, including four shots from beyond the arc. Freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) recorded yet another double-double, notching a stat line of 21 points and 14 boards. Junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta) also had a solid game, recording 18 points, four rebounds, and a pair of assists. The Green and White were outscored 44-31 in the first half, before erupting for 48 points in the second to eventually tie the game. As a team, the Eagles shot 44.1 percent from the floor, and 53.3 percent in the second half. The team was solid from the free throw line, posting a final mark of 22-of-26 from the charity stripe. The Falcons opened the game with a three pointer, grabbing an early 3-0 lead before a jumper from Toney made the score 3-2. A nice offensive rebound and layup from Thompson made the score 5-4, but BGSU maintained their lead. From there, the Falcon offense got hot and increased their lead to 10-4 following a three. Thompson return fired to lead the charge back for the Eagles, battling on the boards and getting fouled, then converting two free throws to bring EMU within four. At the first media timeout, Bowling Green held a 12-6 lead. Following a bucket by the opponent, Toney was fouled, but converted the shot as it bounced off the top of the backboard. After the free throw, the score stood at 14-9. Toney continued the quick offensive streak for the Green and White, nailing a three to bring the score back within two. However, the Falcon offense roared back to make the score 19-12 with 12:20 to go in the half. After another media timeout, the Bowling Green offense picked back up where it left off, draining another three and making the score 24-13. Similar to early in the half, the Eagle offense stalled before Thompson was sent to the line. After sinking two more from the charity stripe, the score stood at 28-15 with 8:30 to go. After a steal by Lee, sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College High School) converted a layup on the other end, only to have BGSU respond with another three. At this point in the game, Bowling Green was 6-of-8 from downtown, while the Eagles were only 2-of-6. With 4:40 left in the half, the Falcons led 39-24. After a dry streak on offense, Bond came out of a timeout and knocked down a tough layup. A three from sophomore Ethan Alvano (Corona, Calif.-Corona) didn’t rattle through, but Thompson was there for the putback, and was fouled in the process. After knocking down the free throw, BGSU’s lead stood at 42-29. Thompson continued battling on the boards, as he was fouled again after pulling down a defensive rebound. He sunk both at the line to bring his total on the day to 7-of-7 from the line for 11 total points in the first half. Heading to the locker room, the Falcons held a 44-31 lead. Out of the break, the Falcons picked up where they left off, knocking down two threes and a layup for a 52-33 lead. The Eagles managed to pick up a few baskets, but the Falcons continued answering, and the score at the first media timeout of the second half stood at 57-37. Alvano got the team back on track following the timeout with a layup, and a huge putback dunk from Thompson made the score 57-41. A jumper from Toney kept the ball rolling, and the EMU defense continued to give the Falcons problems. As was the theme of the game, whenever the Eagles offense strung together a few baskets, the Falcons got a few of their own, and at the 10-minute mark, Bowling Green led 64-49. The Green and White would not go away, however, and with 7:43 left to play, the score stood at 69-56. A jumper from Bond brought the Eagles back within 10, after which the Falcons threw it away to give possession back to EMU with 7:05 to go. Following a defensive stop, an acrobatic layup from Lee got the lead back down to single digits. The EMU defense then swiped a pass, and Lee knocked down a long ball to make the score 6964 with 5:55 left in the game. Lee kept the hot hand, knocking down another three to bring the Green and White within two, 69-67. Although the Falcons sank a three of their own, a Thompson putback kept the score close, 72-69, with 4:13 left. Thompsons kept EMU within two at the 3:20 mark after sinking two more free throws to make it 75-73. After being down 20 with 15 minutes to play, a Lee layup tied the game at 75 with 2:30 left to play. Bowling Green grabbed the lead, and with 21.9 seconds to go, the score was 81-79. Lee had a shot to tie it with 3 seconds to play, but his shot rattled off the rim and was recovered by the Falcons. Despite their furious rally, the Eagles ultimately fell by a final score of 84-79. The Green and White continue their season on the road with a bout at University of Akron, Jan. 19. Tip off is slated for 7 p.m. from James A. Rhodes Arena on Tuesday night.

AKRON, Ohio – Hitting the road for the third time in Mid-American Conference play, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was turned away, dropping a 92-88 decision at the University of Akron Tuesday night, Jan. 19, at James A. Rhodes Arena. The Eagles (10-8, 2-3 MAC) saw the Zips (14-4, 3-2 MAC) shoot a scorching percentage from beyond the arc as they were handed their second straight loss. Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) led the Green and White in scoring, connecting on 8-of-12 shots, including three triples for 22 points, while four other Eagles cracked double-digits. Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands)) poured in 16 on 6-of-12 shooting, while Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) added 13, Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) posted 11 and Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) notched 10. James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Eastern Michigan shot 51.7 percent (30-of-58), while shooting at a 52.9 percent (9-of-17) mark from beyond the arc. For the Zips, Reggie McAdams was the game’s high scorer with 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting, connecting on seven long balls. In addition, Isaiah Johnson went for 22 points and a team-best eight rebounds, knocking down 12-of-13 free throws. As a team, the Zips shot 47.3 percent (26-of-55) from the floor while hitting 50 percent (13-of-26) three pointers on the night. The game opened up with back-to-back misses on trips down the floor by both squads in the first half. Toney was the first to break into the scoring column converting on an old fashioned three point play after finishing through a Kwan Cheatham, Jr. foul. Akron didn’t stay silent, scoring three points on free throws by Reggie McAdams in the ensuing possession after Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (DePaul)) fouled the Akron wing. The Zips’ Pat Forsythe gave UA its first lead of the game on an alley oop dunk with just over 17 minutes left in the half, but Thompson followed suit throwing down a thunderous dunk on the other end. The two squads traded buckets over the next few possessions until a Noah Robotham triple began an 8-2 run for Akron, giving UA its biggest lead of the half, 16-11. Driving the lane, was Lee with just over 10 minutes in the half, he dished to the top of the key and found Nazione for a three ball, just his second of the season. The Howell, Mich. native’s triple sparked an 11-0 Eastern Michigan run, putting the Green and White on top by eight, 24-16. The Zips didn’t go away though with five straight points, as McAdams capped off the run with a three pointer. Through the final four minutes of play, both squads traded buckets until Jake Kretzer connected on a wide open triple from the dead spot for Akron to make it a three point, 37-34, game in favor of the Eagles with just 25 seconds left in the game. Lee took the ball the length of the floor in the final possession of the half dropping a three from five feet beyond the arc, giving EMU a six point, 40-34, lead at the break. Mangum led the EMU offense with eight points in the opening stanza, while both Nazione and Toney poured in seven, apiece. Bond and Lee each grabbed six in the first half. Thompson led the Green and White in rebounding with five boards, while Nazione grabbed four of his own. The Eagles connected on 53.6 percent (15-of-28) of their shots in the first 20 minutes, while knocking down 45.5 percent (5-of-11) from the three point line. In addition, EMU was 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) from the free throw line. Akron came out of the half scorching from downtown as McAdams led the Zips on a quick 9-2 run with three triples to take the lead, 43-42, with 18:24 left in the game. Both squads started to trade buckets back and forth until the Zips hit their stride with a 7-0 run, taking a seven point, 59-52, lead at the 12:21 mark. With 9:23 left in the game, the Green and White saw their biggest deficit to that point, 65-57, but the Eagles didn’t go away quietly. A 14-5 run capped by a pair of scores from Mangum put Eastern back on top, 71-70. The EMU lead was brief as Antino Jackson hit a three ball on the next possession to put the Zips back on top. Akron held the lead the remainder of the game, jumping on top by as many as nine, 85-76, following McAdams’ final three pointer of the game. Despite coming close to the Zips, Akron was able to make free throws down the stretch and hold on to a seven point advantage with two seconds left. As time expired, Toney connected on a long three to leave the final at 92-88. The Eagles return home as the first leg of a doubleheader at the Convocation Center this Saturday, Jan. 23. Eastern Michigan will square off with MAC West foe Ball State University at 11:30 a.m.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was shocked in an 88-87 defeat to Ball State University Saturday, Jan. 23 inside the Convocation Center, losing in double-overtime on a buzzer beating three point shot. Saturday’s contest marked the first double-overtime contest for the Eagles inside the Convo since Jan. 13, 2009 against Central Michigan University. Leading the Eagles (10-9, 2-4 MAC) in the game were junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands)), and freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), who both finished with 23 points apiece. That marked a careerhigh for Toney, who also swiped a career-high six steals, which ties for the fourth-most in a single game in EMU history. Meanwhile, Thompson recorded his 11th double-double of the season, notching 14 rebounds as well. Finally senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) finished in double figures with 13 points. As a squad, EMU knocked down 38.6 percent of their shots (27-of-70), while going 30-of-34 from the free throw line (88.2 percent). EMU forced BSU into 25 turnovers, including 17 steals, which tied four the third-most in a single game for Eastern Michigan. That turned into 29 of the Eagles’ points. Eastern also dominated the paint, outscoring the Cardinals 48-22 down low. The Eagles jumped out early, scoring the first four points on a Nazione layup and a junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) fast break layup off of a steal. BSU answered right back though with seven straight points to make it 7-4. A Nazione three-point-play evened the score at seven into the first media timeout. The Cardinals rattled off the next seven points to double the advantage. Breaking the run was Thompson when he completed a three-point-play himself, making the score 14-10 with just under 12 minutes until halftime. Thompson then put in EMU’s next six points after that, tying the game at 16 apiece. However back-to-back three pointers from BSU put them back up by six points midway through the half. The lead got to as large as eight, but EMU battled back to tie it at 27-all before the final media timeout before halftime. While trailing by six, EMU tied the game on an and-one from sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College HS) and a three ball from Mangum. Eastern captured their first lead since the 18:33 mark out of the break on a fast break layup from Bond, but BSU answered immediately with a jumper. After trading free throws, BSU nailed a three to jump back ahead 34-31. Thompson then poured in the next five points, giving EMU the two point lead back, but the Cardinals nailed another three to take a 37-36 lead into the break. Thompson finished with 16 points in the first half alone. Out of the half, Toney began to heat up; scoring EMU’s next seven points, but BSU had the answers as they extended the lead 48-43 at the 15-minute mark. The lead remained consistent between three and six points for the Cardinals over the next four minutes, but in the time span, Thompson exited the game with his fourth foul. Immediately after Thompson subbed out of the game, Toney stepped up once again going on a personal 7-0 run to give the Eagles a one point lead, 54-53 with 10:30 left in the game. The lead extended into their largest of the night when a Nazione layup and sophomore Ethan Alvano (Corona, Calif.-Corona) three-point-play gave EMU a 59-53 advantage. The Cardinals chipped it back down though, scoring the next five points making the score 59-58 midway through the second half. EMU maintained a one to five point lead over the next four minutes until BSU eventually broke through, tying the game at 66-allgoing into the final media break, setting the table for the homestretch. Both teams started the stretch run by trading five points each, with the five for EMU going to Thompson, putting him over 20 points on the afternoon. With under a minute left, the score remained tied at 71. After a pair of empty possessions, BSU had a chance to win the game on the final possession, but a long three rimmed-out, sending the game to overtime. Winning the tip, EMU knocked down the first bucket of OT on a Bond jumper. Then the game turned into a free-throw shooting contest with EMU hitting 2-of-2 while Ball State got eight trips to the line, hitting five-of-seven to take a 76-75 advantage with 1:30 to play. In that timeframe, both Bond and Thompson fouled out for EMU. After trading stops, Ball State possessed the ball with 45 seconds left. On a missed three-point attempt, the ball skipped back out for a BSU offensive rebound, forcing EMU to foul with 10 seconds to go. Hitting one-of-two, EMU had a chance to tie or take the lead. On a Nazione drive to the basket, he was fouled on the floor, giving him two tries to tie the game up. The senior hit both of the clutch free throws, and

KENT, Ohio – Despite leading for the entirety of the first half, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped their fourth straight Mid-American Conference game, 73-58, to Kent State University, Tuesday night Jan. 26. The Eagles (10-10, 2-5 MAC) had strong efforts from multiple student-athletes, however the Golden Flashes (15-5, 6-1 MAC) were too strong in the second stanza. Leading the Eagles in the game was freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist), who recorded his second-straight double-double finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds. It was his 12th double-double effort of the 2015-16 campaign. Redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) was the leading scorer for EMU, finishing with 15 points on the night to go along with four steals, while junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) was the only other Eagle in double figures, going for 12 point. As a team, EMU shot under 30 percent from the floor and the three-point line. Eastern forced 18 turnovers, while picking the Flashes’ pocket nine time, leading to 15 of their points. Kent State was led by Detroit, Mich. native senior Khaliq Spicer, who finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds. The Eagles rocketed out to a 6-0 start with four points coming from Thompson. After three more points from Mangum, the Eagles took an early 9-4 lead into the first media timeout. Out of the break, Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) splashed a three to lengthen the lead 12-4. A Toney free throw and Lee jumper forced a Kent State timeout with a 15-4 EMU lead. Another Lee jumper before the under-12 timeout had the Green and White ahead of KSU 17-4 early on. A 12-3 run from the Flashes cut the lead back down to 20-16 midway through the period, but the Eagles got off the skid after a layup from Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) and an and-one play from Thompson put the Eagles lead back at 25-16. A bucket each from Lee and Thompson made it 29-20 down the homestretch of the first half. The Flashes made the most of the final four minutes of the half, going on an 11-3 run, with six of the points made on free throws. With the lead sitting at 32-28 after a pair of Bond free throws, KSU nailed a buzzer-beating three ball to send the game into the half with a 32-31 EMU lead. Lee and Thompson led the Green and White’s offensive effort with nine point apiece, while Bond added seven. As a team, the Eagles shot at 37.5 percent (12-of-32) from the floor, while connecting at a 33.3 percent (2-of-6) clip. Kent began the second half by capturing its first lead of the game on their first possession, but EMU countered right back with a three-point play from Thompson to put him in double-digits on the night. A quick dunk from the Golden Flashes evened the score for the first time of the night at 35-35. The game remained tied until the 15-minute mark when KSU opened up the game thanks in part to a nearly six-minute field goal scoring drought from EMU. Just before the midway point of the half, EMU trailed 48-41, but back-to-back three balls from Mangum pulled EMU within one. From there KSU tightened up though, running off 13-straight points, which included Thompson picking up his fifth foul, giving the Flashes a 61-47 advantage.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Looking at a four-game losing streak, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team traveled across the state to square off with MidAmerican Conference West Division opponent Western Michigan University Saturday, Jan. 30. The Eagles (10-11, 2-6 MAC) were unable to best the Broncos (9-12, 3-5 MAC) as hot shooting took down the Green and White, 94-86, at University Arena in Kalamazoo. Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) was the Eagles’ high scorer, matching his career best with 23 points on 10-of-17 shooting, while Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) set a career high with 17 points and James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) posted the 13th double-double of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds. All five starters posted double-digit scoring affairs as Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) and Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) posted 10 and 11 points, respectively. Additionally, Mangum posted a career-best six assists in the loss. As a team, the Green and White shot 43.1 percent (28-of-65) from the floor, including a scorching 60.6 percent (20-of-33) in the second half. In addition, EMU connected on 8-of-23 (34.8 percent) of its three-pointers and shot 88 percent (22-of-25) from the free throw line. For the Broncos, Thomas Wilder led the way with a double-double scoring 35 points, while pulling down 10 rebounds. Tucker Haymond added 21 points for WMU as the team shot 49.2 percent (29-of-59) from the floor and 71.4 percent (10-of-14) from three-point land. Western began the scoring with the first four points of the game on a pair of Haymond layups to open the game before a Thompson dunk put the Eagles on the board. Eastern struggled to get things going offensively, looking at a 10-7 deficit, the Broncos went on a 7-2 run to grab an eight-point lead with just under 12 minutes remaining in the first half. The Green and White was able to cut the Broncos’ lead to four, 19-15, with seven minutes to go, but WMU turned up the heat offensively, with a quick 8-0 run over the next two minutes of play, jumping out to a 13-point, 28-15, lead with five minutes to go. Western continued to build on the lead and went into the locker room with a 41-24 lead at the half. Thompson led the Green and White in the first half with eight points and six rebounds, while Toney poured in seven points. As a team, the Eagles shot just 25 percent (8-of-32) from the floor and just 10 percent (1-of-10) from beyond the arc. On the other end, the Broncos connected on 46.2 percent (12-of-26) field goal attempts, with Haymond and Wilder grabbing 12 and 11 points, respectively. The Eagles and Broncos went toe-to-toe for the first five minutes of the second half before WMU grabbed its largest lead of the game, 52-33, with 14:36 remaining. Eastern Michigan cut into that lead with a quick four points, but Anthony Avery Jr. pushed the Western Michigan lead back to 17, 54-37, with just over 13 minutes to go. Following Avery’s jumper the Eagles put together a 14-6 run to come within 10, 60-50, with 11 minutes left in the game. The Broncos pushed back to take a 16 point lead, however, with 9:36 on the clock, Haymond converted an and-one to make it 6852. EMU was able to fight back to within six, but Western never relinquished the lead, closing out the game with eight free throw makes in the final minute of play, holding on to a 94-86 win in Kalamazoo, Mich. The Eagles return to the hardwood Tuesday, Feb. 2, when they play host to Miami University at the Convocation Center. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. in Ypsilanti.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - Behind a historic shooting night from redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus), the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team ran away with a 94-69 victory over Miami University, Feb. 2. Finishing with 46 points, Lee broke a number of records on the night, and is tied with Buddy Hield of Oklahoma and A.J. English of Iona for the most points scored in an NCAA game this season. Specifically, Lee finished the game 9-of-11 from downtown, as well as 15-of-16 from the charity stripe. His total of 46 points were recorded in just 24 minutes and were one point shy of tying the all-time program record. However, he still managed to set a new career high for points in a game, as well as break the Convocation Center record for points in a game. Additionally, he broke the Convo record for three pointers in a game, while tying the EMU (11-11, 3-6 MAC) all-time record for treys in a game. Two other Eagles finished in double-digits as well, with freshman James Thompson IV (Baron Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) and junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) posting 15 and 14, respectively. Thompson finished just short of another double-double, as he managed to haul in eight boards on the night. As a team, the EMU offense was clicking on all cylinders, with their final stat-line being 25-of-51 from the field, in addition to 13-of-26 from downtown. The defense was also a factor in the game, as Miami (7-15, 1-8 MAC) struggled to score the basketball throughout the game. The RedHawks finished 21-of-60 overall, and just 6-of-27 from behind the arc. Lee’s scoring outburst gave the Eagles a massive advantage in bench points, where the Green and White dominated, 52-21. Despite opening the game with a miss on the offensive end, the Eagles had a stellar defensive possession off the bat, setting the tone early. After a steal, Toney sunk oneof-two from the free throw line to give the Green and White an early lead. Although both teams started slow on the offensive end, the EMU defense was able to keep the RedHawks off the board throughout the opening five minutes of play. With 15:47 remaining in the half, the Eagles held a 3-0 lead. Junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) scored the first point from the field on a three to give EMU a 6-0 lead. After a pair of buckets from Miami, the Green and White quickly found their groove on the offensive end, opening up a 12-4 lead. Lee kept the offense hot with a three, giving him nine points in the first eight minutes of the game. He then kept it going with another make from downtown, extending the EMU lead to 10. With 10:30 left in the first half, the Green and White held a 19-9 lead. Keeping the theme of the first ten minutes, EMU stayed hot from downtown, with Toney sinking a long shot to make the score 24-11. The Eagle defense continued causing problems for Miami, as the RedHawks were only shooting at a 27.8 percent clip through the opening 14 minutes. An alley-oop from sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) to Thompson gave the Eagles more momentum, as Thompson then sunk an additional free throw due to being fouled on the play. The three-ball continued falling for Eastern, as Mangum sunk another one to extend the lead, 33-16 with five minutes remaining in the opening frame. Just before the final media timeout of the half, Lee drained another one from behind the line, doubling up on the RedHawks, 36-18. Out of the break, the Detroit, Mich. native struck again from downtown, giving him 20 points with 3 minutes left in the first. Putting a cherry on top of his first-half performance, Lee drained another two shots from behind the line, putting him at 6-of-7 from three with 27 points through 18 minutes of play. At half, the Eagles held a 21 point lead, with the score sitting at 48-27. Coming out of the break, a slam by Thompson gave the Eagles early momentum, stretching the lead to 50-27. Mangum’s hot hand continued through the break as well, as he drained another three to make the score 57-30 with 17:54 remaining in the game. At the first media timeout of the half, EMU maintained a large lead, 57-34. Lee then continued piling up points by getting to the charity stripe and sinking both shots. With 13:30 left to play, Lee sank another outside shot to put his total at 34 on the night, giving EMU a 64-40 lead. After grabbing an offensive rebound, senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) banked in a nice shot, after which Lee converted his eighth three-pointer of the game, giving him 37 on the night. With a pair from the line, Lee broke his own career record of points in a game, with 39. Following his two from the charity stripe, he drained yet another three, breaking the 40-point barrier, as the redshirt-junior had 42 with 9 minutes left to play. His 42 points and nine three pointers also tied the Convocation Center record for points in a game and threes in a game. Another alley-oop by Thompson extended the Eagles lead to 30, making the score 84-54 with 7:30 left to go. Tying the record wasn’t good enough for Lee, as two more from the free-throw line gave him 44, breaking the Convo record. With the lead well in hand, the Eagles coasted the rest of the way, giving a number of players valuable in-game experience. As the clock struck zero, EMU walked away with a dominating 94-69 home victory over Miami.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team traveled to Buffalo, N.Y. Saturday afternoon, Feb. 6, to square off with the University at Buffalo in a rematch of an EMU victory earlier this season. Despite leading for more than 35 minutes in the game, the Eagles (11-12, 3-7 MAC) dropped an 80-70 decision to the Bulls (14-9, 7-3 MAC) who won their fourth-straight game. James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) led the Eagles on both ends of the floor, collecting his 14th double-double of the 2015-16 campaign, while blocking four UB shots. Thompson finished the game with 18 points and 14 rebounds, while four other Eagles managed double-digit scoring performances as well. Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands)) poured in 16, while Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) and Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) notched 11 and 10, respectively. In addition, Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) went for a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Green and White shot 40.7 percent from the floor. The Eagles opened up the scoring with nice high-low play from Nazione to Thompson, sparking an 18-3 run through the first six and a half minutes of the game. With all the momentum in favor of the Green and White, the Bulls fought back going and cut into the Eagles’ advantage quickly. Looking at a 29-16 lead after Toney split a pair of free throws with 5:50 left in the first half, Buffalo clipped into the lead yet again, grabbing a quick 5-0 run to make it an eight-point, 29-21, game at the 5:10 mark. After that run, the Eagles and Bulls traded points, before UB scored seven in a row to come within one point, 32-31, with just 24 seconds remaining in the half. Planning on running the clock to close out the half, Rob Murphy’s squad took the ball on the offensive and Toney drove the lane but was called for a charge, giving the Bulls a crack at the last shot. On the ensuing possession, the Green and White forced Buffalo to step on the out of bounds line, giving EMU another shot at the last shot of the half with two seconds left. Toney passed the ball into Mangum who raised for a half court shot just inside the timeline and buried it to give the Eagles a 36-32 lead at the break. For the first stanza, the Eagles shot at a 39.4 percent clip (13-of-33), while connecting on 30 percent (3-of-10) of their three point attempts. Thompson led the offense with 10 points, while Mangum and Toney poured in eight apiece. In addition, Nazione pulled down seven rebounds, while Thompson added six. Although he did not crack the scoring column in the first half, Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) distributed three assists in the first 20 minutes. The Eagles struggled out of the gate as Buffalo brought EMU lead to just two, 40-38. After trading buckets, Eastern Michigan used a quick 7-0 run to jump on top by 10, 54-44, with just 11:43 remaining in the game. The score again bounced back and forth over the next four minutes of play before 14-5 run tied up the game for the first time since the opening tip, 64-64, with 4:14 left. On the ensuing possession, Buffalo’s C.J. Massinburg was fouled and sank a pair of free throws to give the Bulls their first lead of the game. UB never relinquished the lead, holding on for an 80-70 victory. Eastern Michigan returns to the floor Tuesday, Feb. 9, to square off with Central Michigan University for the second time this season. The Green and White will take on the Chippewas at 7 p.m. from the Convocation Center in Ypsilanti, Mich.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - Coming off a tough road loss versus the University at Buffalo, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team walked away with a 71-56 win over in-state rival Central Michigan University, Feb. 9, sweeping the season series with the Chippewas (13-11, 6-5 MAC). The Eagles (12-12, 4-7 MAC) came out firing on all cylinders, taking an early lead and not surrendering it throughout the game. For the second consecutive game, the Green and White posted a pair of doubledoubles. Freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) notched his 15th double-double of the season, finishing with 19 points, while tying his career-high of 15 rebounds on the day. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) pitched in a double-double as well, turning in a final stat line of 16 points and 11 boards. Two other Eagles also posted double-digit scoring efforts, with junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) and sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College High School) chipping in 11 and 10, respectively. All 10 of Bond’s points came in the second half of the contest. Both the EMU offense and defense were strong throughout the game, as the defense held the Chippewas to a 23-of-63 (36.5 percent) shooting performance. Additionally, Central only managed to convert 5-of-25 (20 percent) shots from downtown, and was out-rebounded by the Eagles, 40-27. EMU converted a high percentage of shots, finishing 25-of-51 (49 percent), while also winning the second chance battle as well with a 20-11 advantage. Thompson began the game with a nice hook shot, before a transition layup from Toney gave the Eagles an early 4-0 lead. A thunderous dunk from Thompson increased the lead to 6-0, as the EMU defense held the Chips in check. Coming out of the media timeout, a nice steal from Bond led to a layup from junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) on the other end, giving EMU a 10-2 lead. A three from Nazione then put the Eagles ahead by double digits, before a jumper from the Chips brought the lead back down to single digits. A quick run from Central brought the lead down to three, 13-10, with 11:38 remaining in the half. Both offenses cooled down a bit, as the score stood at 17-14, with 8:50 remaining in the opening frame. A three from redshirt junior Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (DePaul)) gave the Eagles a bit of a cushion, taking the 20-14 lead into a media timeout at 7:33. Thompson continued thriving on the offensive end, with another hook shot and a pair of free throws to give him 10 with 4:45 remaining in the first half. A three from redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) put the Eagles back ahead by double digits, and a layup from Thompson opened up a huge 31-18 lead with 3:38 remaining in the half. The defense continued giving Central problems, as the Chips were 8-of-26 from the floor and 0-of-8 from downtown at this point. Approaching halftime, the Eagles’ offensive rhythm continued, as the team opened a 38-23 lead heading into the locker rooms. A primary reason for the big halftime lead was the Eagles winning the rebounding battle, as EMU had 20 in comparison to Central’s nine. Out of the break, the Eagle offense continued rolling, still maintaining a doubledigit lead with 16:30 left to play. Central kept chipping away, with the score standing at 44-32 at the 15:17 media timeout. A two from the Chips brought the lead down to single-digits once again, but the free throws from Nazione put the lead back at 11. Thompson continued controlling the boards, as he nabbed his 15th double-double of the season with 11:31 left in the game. Heading into the final 10 minutes of the game, the Green and White still held the lead, but the Chips would not go away. Nazione picked up a double-double of his own, notching 13 points and 10 rebound with 7 minutes left to play. Timely offensive rebounds from Thompson kept the Eagle offense rolling, as the double-digit lead returned, 54-44, with 6:34 remaining. Heading into the final five minutes, the Eagles needed to close out the game strong in order to secure the win. A nice pass from Bond led to a three from Lee, putting the lead back at 10, 57-47, with 3:29 remaining. From there, teams continued trading baskets, with EMU maintaining a double-digit lead, 63-52, with 1:49 left in the game. Both ends of the court came up big in crunch time, as the Green and White continued converting on the offensive end. With the clock striking zero, the Eagles came out on top, 71-56.

Eastern Michigan

Ohio 86

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Behind a balanced scoring attack, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team got revenge on Kent State University in a 75-70 win at the Convocation Center Saturday afternoon, Feb. 13. Five EMU players finished with double-digit scoring efforts in the game, as the Eagles (13-12, 5-7 MAC) won back-to-back games in conference play for the first time this season. Leading the way for Eastern was freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.Parkview Baptist), who finished with 20 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for his 16th double-double of the season. It was the sixth time he went for 20-or-more points this season. The other four Eagles in double figures were junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga,- Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) who went for 17 points and three steals, sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College High School) with 14 points, senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) who dropped 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while redshirt-junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) notched 11 points off the bench. As a team, EMU shot 43.5 percent (27-of-62) from the floor, while only hitting one three point attempt all game. The Eagles out-rebounded the Golden Flashes (16-9, 7-5 MAC) by a 41-32 margin, including 19-10 on the offensive glass. The Green and White forced KSU into 15 turnovers, turning them into 12 of their points. Eight of the turnovers were EMU steals. Finally, Eastern dominated in the paint, outscoring KSU 46-36. Eastern knocked down the first bucket of the game, but from there struggled to get anything going offensively. KSU scored the next seven points to take a 7-2 advantage early on, before the squads began to heat up as the period rolled on, especially Thompson, who scored eight out of the first 10 points for Eastern. After the second media timeout, EMU trailed 12-10. Soon after that, Eastern took the lead with free throws and a Nazione fast break dunk. After trading buckets, EMU scored the next six points to open up a 20-14 lead midway through the half. Kent State knocked down the next two buckets, but EMU answered back going on an 11-2 run, highlighted by a Bond three ball and four Nazione points. Down the stretch of the first half, Eastern held its largest lead of the game at that point, 31-20. The Eagles failed to score in the last four minutes, but held KSU to only three points, taking a 31-23 lead into the half. Shooting just 40 percent (14-of-35) in the first half, Thompson nearly recorded a double-double in the opening 20 minutes, grabbing 12 points, nine rebounds, a block and a steal. Bond was the next high scorer with seven points while Nazione and Toney completed the first half scoring for EMU with six points apiece. Although Kent State shot at a 40 percent (8-of-20) clip as well, the Eagles shot 15 more from the floor in the opening half helping them to the eight point lead at the break. Out of the half, both teams shot at a high volume as EMU would not let the Flashes get much closer. Maintaining a steady six-to-eight point lead, Eastern Michigan led, 41-33, at the first media timeout. From there, KSU began to claw their way back into the contest, outscoring EMU 9-4 over the next stretch to only trail 45-42 at the next media timeout. KSU kept the pressure up after that, retaking the lead at 9:40 for their first advantage, 51-50, since the 11 minute mark of the first half. Eastern handled the adversity though, scoring seven of the next nine to retake a 57-53 lead. After a huge dunk from Lee put EMU up 59-53, KSU called a timeout with just under six minutes to play in the game. After not much activity following the slam, EMU maintained a 61-56 lead coming out of the final media timeout. Kent State got to within four points with around three minutes to play, but EMU extended it back to double-digits with just under a minute to play. Despite Kent hitting a pair of three pointers and getting the lead back down to 73-70 with five seconds to go, Toney hit two clutch free throws to secure the 75-70 victory. Eastern now heads on the road for its final cross-divisional conest when the Eagles flock down to Athens, Ohio for a game with Ohio University. Tip-off from the OU Convocation Center is set for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16.

Mangum quickly cut into that lead with his first three-ball of the game. Ohio fired back with five in a row to take a seven-point, 10-3, lead with 16:29 left in the opening stanza. The Eagles were able to fight back and tie up the game, 12-12, at the 13:57 mark, however, the Bobcats outscored EMU, 12-2, over the next four minutes to jump on top by 10, 24-14, with 9:30 left in the half, prompting Head Coach Rob Murphy to take a 30 second timeout. Out of the timeout, the Eagles went on a 14-2 run, led by five points from Mangum and four from Nazione, giving them their first lead of the game, 28-26, with 5:30 left to go. Ohio came back to regain a nine point lead with a minute to go. Tim Bond was able to cut it to six, 37-31, with 30 seconds to go, allowing the Bobcats to take the final shot of the half.

Toledo 85 Eastern Michigan

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Despite a furious second-half rally from the University of Toledo, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team notched an important MidAmerican Conference West Division victory, 91-85, Saturday, Feb. 20. Eastern (14-13, 6-8 MAC) was hot all game, posting the best shooting percentage and three-point percentage in program history. The Eagles were led by senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)), who finished with a final stat line of 21 points, four rebounds and a pair of blocks. Additionally, junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) kicked in 19 points on five-of-seven from three-point land. Just behind him, redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) notched 18 points, including going a perfect 8-for-8 from the charity stripe, including four clutch free throws down the stretch to secure the victory. Junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands)) had a solid game as well, posting 17 points, while sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) was a stat stuffer in the victory, putting together a solid line of eight points, eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals. As a team, the Eagle offense was in rhythm throughout the game, finishing with the best shooting percentage and three-point percentage in program history. Additionally, at the half, the Green and White had the most field goals in a half in the history of the Convocation Center. Overall, the team was 34-for-50 (68 percent) from the floor, and 11-of-16 (68.8 percent) from three. They were also solid from the charity stripe, finishing 12-of-16 (75 percent) from the line. Eastern also held an advantage for points in the paint, at 44-36. The Eagles got off to a quick start, with Mangum draining a long three, before following that up with a steal and a transition layup to give EMU the early 5-0 lead. The junior kept the hot hand through the first media timeout, scoring a blazing 13 points to give Eastern the 13-9 lead with 15:18 remaining in the first half. Toney got on the board with a layup to put the Eagles at 15. The offense continued clicking, as the team held a 22-16 lead at the second media timeout. From there, the team continued its hot shooting from downtown, as a three from Nazione forced the Rockets to call a timeout with the score at 28-16. At this point, the Green and White were seven-for-seven from three-point land. After a pair of baskets, the Eagles extended their lead to 33-21 with 7:38 to go. Although the Rockets continued scoring as well, Eastern continued responding to hold their lead. A nice assist from Mangum to Toney gave EMU a three-point play, increasing the lead to 38-21. However, the three-ball continued to be the team’s biggest asset, as EMU was 8-for-8 from downtown with 4:56 to play in the half. Toledo mounted a little run to bring the score a bit closer, but the Eagles kept scoring to put their lead at 15 heading into the final two-minutes before the break. The Rockets then took advantage of a few mistakes by the Eagles, cutting the lead to single digits. As the clock ticked down, the Green and White converted a desperation layup to head into the locker room with a 14-point lead, 56-42. In the half, the Eagles notched the most field goals in a half in the history of the Convocation Center. Additionally, it also marked the third most points in a half for the team, and also the second most points against a Division-1 opponent in a half. The Rockets got on the board first in the second half, before another bucket by Toledo brought the lead back down to 10. Unlike the first half, the EMU offense struggled to get into a rhythm through the first three and a half minutes. Toledo took advantage, bringing the lead down to just six points, 56-50, with 16:27 left in the game. A Nazione three halted the Rockets run, putting the score at 61-54 at the 13:40 mark. Lee had a nice steal and transition layup to give Eastern a nine-point lead, after which a Nazione layup put EMU back up by double digits. Heading into a media timeout, Eastern led 65-56 with nearly 11 minutes to go. A huge dunk from Nazione put the score at 69-62 near the nine minute mark, after which a pair of free throws from Lee increased the lead to nine. Freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) finally got on the board with a huge dunk of his own, but the Rockets answered on the other end to put the score at 73-69 with 6:30 left. Both teams traded defensive blows, with the score standing at 76-74 with under four minutes to go. A Toney layup increased the lead to 78-74, after which a steal from sophomore Bond gave Eastern an opportunity on the other end. The Eagles could not convert, however, and Toledo brought it within one. Bond came up big right after that with a three to give EMU a four-point lead. Clutch free throws from Lee put Eastern back up by four after a basket from the Rockets. With just 16 seconds left to play, the Eagles held a slim, 85-83 lead. Eastern returns to action at home Tuesday, Feb. 23, for a bout with in-state rival Western Michigan. Action from the Convo is slated to begin at 7 p.m.

Additionally, EMU dominated in fast break points, 13-2. Finally, the Eagles also held an advantage down low to the tune of 36 points to 30. The Broncos scored the first points of the game on a fast break layup before an Eagle steal led to a Bond layup on the other end. Both teams traded baskets, with WMU leading, 6-4, at the 16-minute mark. The Eagles’ offense struggled generating points, as the Broncos held a 13-8 lead at the 12-minute mark. A bucket from Toney brought the game back within five points, 15-10, before a Mangum three made the score 15-13. Toney then sunk another one before Thompson broke the tie to give EMU their first lead of the game. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) then drained a shot from behind the arc to put the Green and White ahead by four, 21-17. Nazione kept it rolling with a huge dunk to maintain the four-point lead at 23-19 approaching the five-minute mark. With halftime fast approaching, the Green and White held a 24-21 lead with 3:36 to go. At this point, the team was shooting 10-of-19 from the floor while holding Western to a 9-of-24 mark. A pair at the line from Lee put the Eagles up by five, which was their largest lead of the first half. Heading into the final two minutes, the two teams were tied at 26 apiece. However, a free throw from Nazione put EMU back on top. Heading into the locker room, the Eagles held a slim 31-28 lead. Both offenses came out firing in the second half, as the Eagles and Broncos were deadlocked before a Mangum three put Eastern backon top. However, Western quickly responded, regaining the lead at 35-34. From there, WMU kept rolling, jumping ahead by five, 39-36, before another Mangum bucket brought the score back within three. Back-to-back makes from redshirt freshman Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) gave the lead back to EMU, 40-39. From there, Mangum drained two threes, after which Bond threw down a huge transition dunk to bring the score to 50-43. The Eagle defense continued causing issues for the Broncos, as the team nabbed a steal and drained the bucket on the other end to go ahead by nine. From there, the offense continued clicking, opening up a double-digit lead, 57-44, with 9:45 left to play. The teams traded baskets, with the Green and White still holding a 10-point lead, 59-49, at the 7:35 mark. A dunk by Thompson extended the lead to 12, 61-49, as the team began to chew the clock. The defense continued to cause issues for the Broncos, while the offense got into a rhythm and increased the lead to 65-50 at the 4:40 mark. Holding a 70-55 lead at the two-minute mark, the team continued to drain the clock. The Eagles extended their lead to as many as 17 before clearing the benches, and finishing the Broncos with a 73-62 victory.

Eastern Michigan

MUNCIE, Ind. - The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team ran into a red-hot Ball State University team Saturday, Feb. 27, falling on the road, 115-79. The Eagles (15-14, 7-9 MAC) had five in double-digits, but Ball State’s three-point shooting did the Green and White in, as the Cardinals connected on 18 three-point buckets. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) had a great game, finishing with 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from downtown, which was a career-best. Redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) posted 14 points, along with three assists and two steals, while redshirt freshman Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) had a career day, notching a career-best 11 points on 5-of-5 from the floor, while corraling six rebounds. Finally, both freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) and sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College High School) had 10 points. As a team, the Green and White shot 26-of-63 from the floor, but struggled from behind the three-point arc. The Eagles won the points in the paint and fast break battle, 36-34, but were outmatched in second chance points, 26-11. The defense forced the Cardinals into 15 turnovers, 10 of which were Eastern Michigan steals. Ball State ran to an early 8-0 lead, as the EMU offense struggled to find a rhythm and convert shots. The Eagles still could not get the ball into the net, with the Cardinals increasing their lead to 14-0 to start the game. The Green and White finally got on the board with a Bond layup near the 16-minute mark, after which Lee threw down a dunk. Bond continued carrying the early offensive load, driving the lane and sinking a tough layup, after which he nailed a free throw. The offense finally began sinking shots, but Ball State still held a big 25-11 lead. Nazione then made a three to give the Eagles 14, but the Cardinals offense continued to roll. The following possession, the senior drove the lane and converted a tough layup, after which he nailed the free throw for a three-point play. Nazione kept it rolling heading into the final 10 minutes of the half. After converting another three-point play, the Howell, Mich. product already had 11 points. Eastern decreased Ball State’s lead to 10, before a few quick buckets put the Cardinals back ahead by 14. Although the Eagles continued converting on the offensive end, BSU responded quickly with points of their own. At the 6:58 mark, the Eagles trailed by 11, 41-30. At this point, Nazione and Lee were shouldering the load offensively with 11 and 10 points, respectively. From there, however, the three-ball kept dropping for the Cardinals, extending the lead to 47-30. Thompson then got on the board with a pair of free throws, putting the score at 47-36. The three-ball kept falling for the Cardinals, however, who led 56-38 with a minute to go in the half. Thompson dropped two additional free throws, after which he made one more to make it an 18-point game. Heading into the locker rooms, the Cardinals held a 61-41 lead. Although the team was winning the points in the paint battle, Ball State’s hot shooting led to the big lead. The Eagles opened the second half with a quick bucket, but like the first half, Ball State answered on the other end. Nazione then drained another three, putting him at 14 on the day. A possession with multiple offensive rebounds allowed the Cardinals to sink another three, extending the lead to 71-48. At the first media timeout of the half, BSU held a 77-48 lead. The Eagle offense cooled off, allowing BSU to race ahead to an 82-48 lead with 14 minutes to play. Thompson continued getting to the line, knocking down two more to give him 10 points on the day. Nazione then drained his third three of the game, tying his career-best. With 10:58 remaining in the game, the score stood at 84-56 in favor of the Cardinals. The Eagles kept fighting however, as Nobles sunk a nice mid-range jumper to give him six points, just one off his career-best. Shortly after, he dropped a layup to nab a new career-best with eight points. With 6:30 left to play, Ball State was ahead 96-68. Sophomore Ethan Alvano (Corona, Calif.-Corona) provided a nice spark off the bench, putting up four points within a two-minute span, and then sinking a three. Martin collected a nice rebound and took it down the floor, going through traffic for a nice layup. At the buzzer, the Cardinals came out on top, 115-79. The team will return home to the Convocation Center, Tuesday, March 1, for a bout with the Huskies of Northern Illinois University at 7 p.m. The game will serve as the Eagles’ Senior Day where both Nazione and fellow senior, Jordan Martin (Detroit, Mich.Chandler Park Academy (Oakland C.C.)), will be honored for their time as members of the EMU men’s basketball program.

YPSILANTI, Mich. - Following a furious rally after being down by as many as 15, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team came back to beat Northern Illinois University, 75-71, Tuesday, March 1 at the Convocation Center. The Eagles (16-14, 8-9 MAC) closed out the game very strong, holding NIU (19-11, 8-9 MAC) to just two field goals in the final 14 minutes of the Mid-American Conference West Division battle. With the win, the Green and White currently hold the No. 8 seed if the MAC Tournament were to begin today. Leading the Eagles was sophomore Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College High School) with a stacked stat line of 17 points, six rebounds, four steals and a block. Additionally, freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) had a solid game, posting his 17th double-double of the year with 16 points and 13 rebounds, seven of which came on the offensive end. Finally, junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) knocked down four triples, finishing with 14 points. Redshirt junior Jodan Price (Indianapolis, Ind.-Detroit Country Day (DePaul)) proved to be an asset down the stretch in the second half. Price entered the game following an NIU layup which gave the Huskies a 15-point lead at the 14:08 mark. From that point on, Northern Illinois was able to convert just two field goals throughout the remainder of the game. Eastern finished 24-of-56 (42.9 percent) from the floor, also knocking down 22 free throws. The Eagles out-rebounded the Huskies, 36-31, and held a huge 14-7 advantage on the offensive boards as well. The defense came up big in the second half, ultimately forcing Northern into 21 turnovers, eight of which were EMU steals. The Eagles got off to a hot start on a pair of back-to-back three-point shots from Mangum, giving the team a quick 6-0 lead. After a Huskie basket, Mangum dribbled back down the floor, knocking down a tough layup in traffic. Thompson then got on the board, bullying his way to a hook shot in the paint before Bond then swiped an NIU pass, throwing it down on the other end to put EMU ahead 14-6 at the first media timeout. A pair of buckets from the Huskies decreased the lead to four, until Thompson took control down low and converted a three-point play. At the 12-minute mark, the Green and White led by six, 17-11, after which Mangum drilled his third three of the game. A three and a free throw from the Huskies made the score 20-16, but Mangum continued his trend and sunk his fourth three of the game. Down low, Thompson kept rolling, sinking another hook shot to put him at seven on the night. He followed that up with a nice put-back, increasing the EMU lead to 27-19 at the 8:39 mark. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) then sunk his first shot, with the score sitting at 31-24 with 6:30 to go in the half. However, the Huskies continued shooting well from downtown, dropping their fourth three of the game to put the score at 31-27. Bond swiped another Huskie pass and converted the turnover into two points on a pair of free throws. Nearing the final three minutes of the first half, Eastern held a slim 35-33 lead. Sophomore Ethan Alvano (Corona, Calif.-Corona) gave the Green and White a four-point cushion, 37-33, on a pair from the line. However, the Huskies tied it up at 37 with 2:30 to go, after which they drained another three for a 40-37 lead. Redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) sunk a free throw to bring it back within two, but NIU put it back at three on the other end. As the teams traveled to the locker room, NIU led 45-39. The Huskies picked up where they left off, scoring the first points of the second half. Nazione answered with two points from the line and then a layup, but NIU still led, 51-43. The senior kept shouldering the offensive load early in the second half, knocking down another pair from the charity stripe. At the first media timeout, the Huskies led by 10, 55-45. The lead ballooned to 13, 58-45, as the Eagle offense struggled to find a rhythm within the first six minutes. Thompson got the Green and White back on track with a nice pull-up jumper, and Bond followed up with an acrobatic layup, forcing the Huskies to take a timeout. The Green and White pulled within nine on two more free throws from Thompson, and Bond followed again with a put-back layup to bring the score within seven. A quick transition sequence led to a Bond dunk, and Eastern trailed by just five at the 9:30 mark. After a free throw from the Huskies, redshirt freshman Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) put back a missed layup to make the score 61-57. Bond kept the momentum going to bring the Eagles within two on a nice layup. After a Huskie free throw, Nobles picked up a missed shot and laid it back in to put the score at 62-61 in favor of NIU. The lead extended back to three, 64-61, with 3:40 left in the game. Nobles then nailed a key pair of free throws to make it a one-point game with 3:30 to play. After a miss on the other end, junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga.-Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) sunk a tough layup to retake the lead, 65-64, at the 2:48 mark. The Huskies quickly responded with two more free throws on the other end to retake the lead. Nazione followed with a clutch free throw to tie the game with less than two minutes to play. Toney kept it going with a pull-up jumper, taking a two-point

Toledo 75 TOLEDO, Ohio – With home court advantage in the first round of the 2016 VisitMyrtleBeach.com Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament on the line, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team squared off with the University of Toledo Friday, March 4, inside Savage Arena. The Eagles (17-14, 9-9 MAC) took down the Rockets (17-14, 8-10 MAC), 79-75, for the first time in Toledo since the 2010-11 season. The victory locked up the No. 8 seed and home court advantage for the first round of the 2016 MAC Tournament. Redshirt junior Ray Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) guided the Eagles to their win with 26 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including a pair of three pointers. In addition, Lee connected on 10-of-12 from the charity stripe. Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) and Tim Bond (Baltimore, Md.-City College) each chipped in with 13 points, while James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) added 12 of his own and Jordan Nobles (Canton, Mich.-Canton) put together a career-best 11 rebounds. In addition to his 13 points, Bond stuffed the rest of the stat sheet with seven steals, six rebounds, five assists and a block. The Baltimore, Md. native’s seven steals tied for the third-most in a single game in EMU history. As a team, EMU shot 42.6 percent (26-of-61), while hitting 71 percent (22-of-31) of its free throws. Nathan Boothe led the Rockets with 26 points, while Jonathan Williams added 19. Toledo shot 46.4 percent (26-of-56) from the floor and 50 percent (10-of-20) from beyond the arc in the loss. Eastern won the opening tip, but the Rockets settled in early, jumping out to a quick five-point, 9-4, lead. The two squads traded buckets, before Toledo extended its lead to six, 14-8, when Boothe knocked down a wide open three-pointer prompting an EMU timeout. Out of the break, the Eagles and Rockets converted on back-to-back trips before Lee connected on a corner three-pointer to make it a three-point, 16-13, EMU deficit. The long ball did not deter Toledo, as UT scored four in a row, before EMU was sparked by Lee, yet again. The Detroit, Mich. native knocked down a jumper before he jumped a pass on the other end and drove the length of the floor finished on a layup through contact and the foul. The 6-foot-3 guard converted the and-one attempt and Thompson connected on the next trip to tie the game for the first time since the opening tip. Mangum capped off the 9-0 run with a runner to give EMU its first lead of the game, 22-20, with 7:30 left in the first half. The two squads traded buckets and the crowd at Savage Arena saw a tie ball game as late as 1:42, 29-29. The Rockets, however, closed out the half on a 9-2 run to lead the Green and White, 35-31, heading into the break. Toledo opened the scoring out of the break as Jaelen Sanford knocked down a three pointer but EMU fought back scoring three in a row to keep it at a four-point, 38-34, deficit with just under a minute off the clock. The Rockets responded with a 5-0 run to take their biggest lead of the game, 43-34, following a three-pointer from Williams. The Eagles came back firing with seven straight points to make it a two point game as Lee scored five of the seven. UT and EMU traded points before four straight points from Eastern gave it its first lead of the second half, 51-50, with 10:18 left to go. The game went back-and-forth for the next few minutes before EMU took a fourpoint, 65-61, lead, scoring four in a row, with 5:23 left in the contest. The Eagles never gave up the lead throughout the final five minutes of play as the Green and White used free throws to ice the game, including a pair from Lee and Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)). Eastern finished the game with a 79-75 victory, defeating the Rockets for the first time in Savage arena since 2011.

The Rockets were the first on the board, controlling an early 1-0 lead before Thompson sunk a layup. Junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va. – Marshall (San Jacinto College)) knocked down a three, putting the score at 5-1, but Toledo quickly responded to make it 5-3. Heading into the first media timeout, the game was tied at five apiece. Junior Ty Toney (Alpharetta, Ga. – Alpharetta (Georgia Highlands College)) then broke the tie on two free throws, making it 7-5. From there, Bond swiped a Toledo pass, which led to a nice dunk from Lee on the other end. At the 14-minute mark, EMU held an 11-5 lead. The Eagle defense held the Rockets in check, forcing five steals through the first seven minutes of play. Lee then sank an open three, forcing a Toledo timeout with the score at 14-5. Although the Rockets converted a three, the Eagles still held a 16-8 lead halfway through the quarter. Bond kept it rolling, as he converted a fast break layup following a Thompson block on the defensive end. The offense kept the momentum going, as Lee nailed a three to go up by nine, 21-12, at the 7:30 mark. Thompson battled down low for another two to put EMU ahead by double digits, after which Toney dropped in a layup to go up by 13. The defense controlled the game through this point, as the Rockets were held scoreless for nearly three minutes. Senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich. – Howell (Des Moines Area C.C.)) then got on the board with a tough layup, pushing the lead to 14, 28-14. From there, Mangum knocked down another long ball to make it 31-14 at the 3:30 mark. A big dunk from Bond once again forced the Rockets to call a timeout with 2:30 remaining in the first period. A three from Nazione pushed the lead to 20, 36-16, as the Eagle defense continued causing problems for the Rocket offense. Heading into the locker rooms, Eastern remained ahead by 16, 36-20. The Rockets opened the half on a little run, closing the gap to 10 points, 36-26. The EMU offense struggled to find a rhythm, remaining scoreless through the opening two and a half minutes. Lee got the Eagles back on track with a nice floater, putting the lead back at 10. Thompson continued to bully down low, knocking down another layup to increase the lead to 12, 40-28. Approaching the 15-minute mark, the Eagles remained ahead, 41-32. The Rockets continued battling back, however, pulling within eight, 43-35. Thompson kept rolling, scoring his ninth point on the day, putting him just one point and one rebound away from a double-double. Toledo pulled back within single digits, 47-39, with 10:41 on the clock. Lee then swiped another pass, dribbling down the court and converting a transition layup to put EMU back ahead by 10. Toney once again increased the lead back to 11, 53-42, before a Toledo bucket brought it back down to nine. Another Rockets basket bought them within seven, 53-46, as the clock neared 6:40 left to play. A Toledo three brought the Rockets within just four, as the Eagle offense struggled to get into a rhythm. A free throw by Toledo brought them within three, but Thompson responded with a quick layup to put the lead back at five. From there, the Rockets brought it within three again. Neither team could score within the next few possessions, as the score remained 55-52 at the 3:30 mark. Toledo promptly tied it up at 55 on a three, after which the Rockets took a 5755 lead with 2:25 left in the game. Bond then tied it up on a layup, after which Lee scooped up an errant pass and laid it in for a 59-57 lead. From there, Bond converted a three-point play to go up by five, 62-57, with a minute to go. With Toledo inbounding the ball, Toney swiped the ball from the Rockets’ pocket, sending him to the line, where he converted one to make it a six point game. The Eagles continued knocking down clutch free throws, as Nazione increased the lead to eight, 65-57. Toledo then responded with a quick three, but Lee sunk two more from the line, making it 67-60 in the final seconds. A desperation three from the Rockets was not enough, as the Eagles walked away with a 69-60 victory. The Green and White now advance to the quarterfinals, where they will square off with No. 1 Akron in Cleveland.

GAME 33 • March 10, 2016 • Quicken Loans Arena • Cleveland, Ohio

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Despite leading for close to 80 percent of game time, the No. 8-seeded Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell to the No. 1-seeded Akron Zips in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Mid-American Conference Tournament at Quicken Loans Arena, Thursday afternoon, March. 10. Eastern (18-15) led by as many as 12, but could not close out the high-powered Akron squad down the stretch. The Zips (25-7) rode the strength of MAC sixth man of the year Isaiah Johnson’s 19 points and 16 rebounds to victory. For EMU, freshman James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) led the way with his 19th double-double of the season, dropping 15 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Redshirt junior Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) led all scorers with 23 on the day, while junior Willie Mangum IV (Richmond, Va.-Marshall (San Jacinto College)) also finished in double figures, going for 10 points. Meanwhile senior Brandon Nazione (Howell, Mich.-Howell) snagged a career-high 12 rebounds. As a team, EMU went 22-of-58 from the floor, as well as 5-of-14 from deep. Overall they controlled the paint, outscoring UA by a 30-24 margin and edging them out on the glass, 44-38. They contained UA’s long-range attack, as the Zips only went 9-of-33 from beyond the arc. Both offenses needed a couple minutes to get the scoring going, with the first bucket not coming until the 18:35 mark. From there, Thompson went to work, scoring five of EMU’s first nine to give Eastern a 9-3 lead five minutes in. Both teams couldn’t get much of an advantage from there, with both shooting around 30 percent. Mid-way through the half, Eastern maintained the lead, at just 15-14. The slim margin held until the four minute mark with Akron grasping its first lead on back-to-back layups from Johnson. Thompson came back with a layup of his own, but Akron splashed a three to snatch a 27-25 down the stretch of the first half. Lee singlehandedly kept EMU in the game through that timeframe, scoring 10 of EMU’s points. In the final three minutes, the teams traded the lead three times, but Akron went into the half with the advantage 35-32. Both teams tried to gain the advantage from beyond the arc in the first half, but were mostly unsuccessful, with both combining to go 7-of-26 from deep. The second half began with a Mangum three ball and fast break layup, giving EMU the lead back 37-35. From there, EMU went on an 11-3 run, highlighted by another Mangum three ball, extending EMU’s lead to its largest to that point, 48-38, at the 13-minute mark of the second half. Akron chipped away, getting its deficit down to six, but EMU stormed back with a balanced scoring attack, extending their largest lead up to 12, 56-44, with around eight minutes left before the final horn. That’s when momentum shifted in the Zips’ favor, rattling off the next nine, including back-to-back three pointers, to cut the lead down to three. A Lee jumper stopped the bleeding, setting the table for the stretch run with EMU leading 58-54. Both teams began the final four minutes by trading three’s, leaving EMU’s lead at four, 61-57. Akron hit the next five, including a three, to go ahead 62-61 with less than a minute to play. Lee answered back with a pair at the line, putting EMU ahead 63-62 with 42 second to go. Akron laid a tough shot in on the next possession, giving them the lead back. With the shot clock off, Lee tried one last layup attempt, but it came up short, allowing UA to hold on for a 65-63 victory. The loss closes out the season for Eastern Michigan as the Eagles completed the year 18-15.

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.

NCAA 1990-91: “SWEET 16” The 1990-91 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad: The first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament“Sweet 16”participant. Front row (L-R); Kahlil Felder, Joe Frasor, Von Nickleberry, Carl Thomas, Head Coach Ben Braun, Charles Thomas, Lorenzo Neely, Lawrence Hill, Roger Lewis. Back row (L-R); Graduate Assistant Coach Craig Rasmuson, Assistant Coach Brian Miller, Marcus Kennedy, Pete Pangas, Mike Boykin, Kory Hallas, Tony King, Fenorris Pearson, Jeff Wendt, George Dyke, Chris Pipkin, Assistant Coach Gary Waters.

“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. Those victories propelled EMU into the “Sweet 16” where EMU in the NCAA Tournament 1987-88 March 18, 1988 # 2 Pittsburgh 108, # 15 Eastern Michigan 90 the No. 1 seeded Tarheels of North Carolina, turned 1990-91 March 15, 1991 # 12 Eastern Michigan 76, # 5 Mississippi State 56 back a charged-up EMU team, 93-67. March 17, 1991 # 12 Eastern Michigan 71, # 13 Penn State 68 (OT) Carl Thomas was magnificent against North Sweet 16 March 22, 1991# 1 North Carolina 93, # 12 Eastern Michigan 67 Carolina, scoring 27 points in 33 minutes to earn a 1995-96 March 14, 1996 # 9 Eastern Michigan 75, # 8 Duke 60 spot on the All-Regional team. March 15, 1996 # 1 Connecticut 95, # 9 Eastern Michigan 81 On the year, center Kennedy was named MAC 1997-98 March 12, 1998 # 4 Michigan State 83, # 13 Eastern Michigan 71 Player of the Year and joining him on the All-MAC first team was Lorenzo Neely while Carl Thomas was a second-team All-MAC pick.

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.

DOME DANCE

The third trip to the NCAA Tournament was a charm for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team. The 1995-96 Eagles turned in one of the most memorable seasons in school history, notching their third regular-season and postseason MAC titles and qualifying for a third appearance in the NCAA tournament. 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.

NCAA 1995-96: “DOME DANCE” DOME DANCE: SECOND ROUND

The second-round matchup had Eastern squaring off against No. 1-seeded Connecticut. The Eagles came out with a vengeance against the heavily favored Huskies, racing to a 13-point lead, 32-19, with 12:09 left in the first half. Eastern held a 48-47 halftime lead. 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.

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.

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.

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. Karrington Ward led the Green and White in rebounding with seven, while the Eagles shot a solid 14-of-15 from the charity stripe.

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 has grown its commitment to championship events as it 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 (All Pro Freight 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 All Pro Freight 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, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 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 sub-licensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. During the 2015 season, the MAC tied a Conference record with seven programs receiving a bowl invitation. Bowling Green (GoDaddy Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Toledo (Marmot Boca Raton Bowl), Ohio (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Western Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl), Akron (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl), and Central Michigan (Quick Lane Bowl) represented the MAC in bowl games last season. The seven MAC bowl invitations matches the Conference record for programs receiving a bowl invitation in a single season, which also occurred during the 2012 bowl season. This also marks the eighth time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) in a single-season. In December of 2015, the MAC named Bowling Green QB Matt Johnson as the league’s Vern Smith Leadership Award Winner and MAC Offensive Player of the Year. Also receiving accolades, Akron LB Jatavis Brown earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year, Western Michigan RB Jamauri Bogan won MAC Freshman of the Year, NIU kick returner Aregeros Turner won MAC Special Teams Player of the Year Award and former Toledo head coach Matt Campbell won MAC Coach of the Year. Four MAC students were named 2015 Academic All-Americans as selected by the College of Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Buffalo senior tight end Matt Weiser and Kent State senior safety Jordan Italiano were named Academic All-America First-Team, while Kent State junior safety Nick Cuthbert and Bowling Green sophomore punter Joe Davidson were named Academic All-America Second-Team. 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 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. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. 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, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Marmot Boca Raton, Popeyes Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Marmot Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Raycom Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the Mobile Alabama Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. During the 2015 football season, Bowling Green won the 2015 Marathon MAC Football Championship with a 34-14 win over NIU. This marked the second MAC Championship for Bowling Green in the last three seasons and the programs 12th overall Conference Championship. Bowling Green also clinched the East Division title for the program’s third consecutive East Division crown, while Northern Illinois won its sixth consecutive MAC West Division title as the Huskies won the tie-breakers in the four-way tie for first place in the West with NIU, Toledo, Western Michigan and Central Michigan. Bowling Green’s Matt Johnson set the Conference record for single-season passing yards (4,700), passing touchdowns (43) and the Falcons offense set the league record for single-season total offense (7,293 yards).

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. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Representing more than 160,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

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.

Oct. 22, 1896: Theodore Roosevelt visits Michigan State Normal School.

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 18th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade university facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for six Mid-American Conference Championships.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eagles Pride

Eagles Pride provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, Eagles Pride (formerly the EMU Athletic Club) raises funds in three key areas for EMU's 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles Pride Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join Eagles Pride today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
