PArking crEDEntiAls

Eastern Michigan University does not issue parking passes as EMU does not charge for parking for basketball.

PhotogrAPhErs

Photographers are issued similar credentials to press row media. Photographers are al-lowed to shoot from outside the dotted line surrounding the playing court.

rADio

EMU basketball can be heard live on WEMU, 89.1 FM and on the Internet at emueagles.com and wemu.org.

Visiting rADio

Visiting radio stations receive one reciprocal phone line and one ISDN line for their game broadcasts. The visiting radio line is directly across from the visitors’ bench. Should more lines be needed, please contact Greg Steiner for arrangements.

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

intErViEw Policy (gAME DAy)All post-game interviews will be conducted in Media Room A at the north end of the Convocation Center. Both head coaches will be available to the media after a 10-minute cooling-off period, with the visiting coach and players going first in the media room (unless circumstances warrant a change). Individual players may also be available for interviews at the conclusion of the game. Please see a member of the athletic media relations staff from either EMU or the visiting institution about player interviews.

wirElEss intErnEt For those with laptop computers that can automatically select an IP address, there is a wireless Internet connection available in the Convocation Center. See an Athletic Media Relations representative for the login password.

Season Notes

FOr thE 119th tiME: The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team will kick off its 119th season of competition Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, when the Eagles play host to the Saint Francis (Ill.) University Saints. Eastern played its first season in 1897-98 and split games with Detroit, losing a 2-0 decision before coming back for a 4-0 victory. The Eagles are are 69-48 in season openers. thE EaglEs in liD-liFtErs: Eastern Michigan has played 117 seasons to this point in the university’s existence. The Eagles are 69-48 in those 118 season opening games. The Green and White’s first campaign was in 1897-88 when they dropped a contest to Detroit. EMU did not win a season opener until its third year, 1899-1900.

EMU PickED tO Finish thirD in thE Mac WEst: The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was picked to finish third in the West Division according to the 2014-15 Mid-American Conference Preseason Poll by the MAC News Media Panel. The announcement was made in Cleveland Tuesday, Oct. 28. Along with the preseason poll, EMU senior karrington Ward was named to the MAC West Division Preseason All-MAC Team.

WarD naMED 15th BEst DEFEnDEr in thE ncaa: According to BleacherReport.com, senior forward karrington Ward was named the 15th best defender in the country. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 1.4 steals per contest last season, while also swatting nearly one shot per game. In addition, Ward was the Eagles’ top rebounder. On the defensive glass, the Lockport, Ill. native totaled 5.1 rebounds per contest.

WarD naMED FiFth BEst accOrDing tO hUstlEBElt: HustleBelt.com counted down its top-25 players in the Mid-American Conference for the 2014-15 season beginning 25 days before the season started and it took until Nov. 9 for karrington Ward’s named to be called. The reason EMU faithful had to wait so long was because Ward was named the fifth-best player in the conference.

lEE BEgins a cliMB tO grEatnEss: Although it is very unlikely to catch EMU’s all-time leading scorer kennedy Mcintosh, who posted 2,219 career points, the Eagles’ redshirt-sophomore raven lee has made his mark after just over one season of play, scoring 380 points in his first full season as an Eagle, Lee scored the most points of any freshman in EMU history. In addition to that, if he scores at least 380 points over the remainder of his three years of eligibility, the Detroit, Mich. native will be the first Eagle to join the 1,000-point club since Brandon Bowdry did in the 2010-11 season. If he continues the pace from his redshirt-freshman season, Lee will pass grant long for No. 10 on the EMU all-time scoring list. Currently, after playing in eight games in 2012-13 and 36 in 2013-14, Lee has totaled 424 points in his career,

cOMBs anD rOss lOst tO transFEr: Two of EMU’s back court members from the 2013-14 campaign, Darell combs and Jalen ross, each transferred from EMU between seasons. Combs left to IUPUI, while Ross joined the Hartford squad.

EaglEs aDD sEvEn FOr 2014-15: Eastern Michigan University Head Men’s Basketball Coach rob Murphy announced the addition of seven student-athletes to join the Eagles’ 2014 recruiting class. EMU will wel-come freshmen Ethan alvano, tim Bond and Jordan nobles, while Je-rome hunter and anali Okoloji will join the Eagles as graduate student-athletes. In addition, transfers Brandon nazione and Mike samuels will have two years of eligibility remaining at Eastern Michigan.

Filling a vOiD: EMU saw its first-ever Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year in Da’shonte riley graduate following the 2013-14 campaign. Although he wasn’t known for his offensive presence, the 7-foot center earned the distinction after he recorded 87 blocks, while averaging 2.8 rejections per contest, which is the best in the MAC. The senior rejected five-or-more blocks in seven games, and four-or more in 10. The Detroit, Mich. native was an important piece of the 2-3 zone defense, which ranked as the top field goal defense in the country. At the conclusion of the 2013-14 campaign, Riley totaled 96 blocks for the year, which tied the most in EMU history.

a sPEcial sEasOn: The 2013-14 season proved to be one to remember for the Green and White faithful. The Eagles saw their first 20-win season since 1997-98, as well as the most wins since the 1996-97 season with 22. In addition, Eastern made its first run to the Mid-American Confer-ence Tournament semifinals for the first time since the 97-98 season. Moreover, EMU’s Da’shonte riley became the first player in Eastern Michigan history to be named the MAC’s Defensive Player of the Year, while karrington Ward earned All-MAC Third Team honors.

WarD Earns all-Mac thirD tEaM hOnOrs: Eastern forward kar-rington Ward was named to the 2014 All-Mid-American Conference Third Team after an exceptional season for the Eagles. The All-MAC teams are voted on by the league’s head coaches. Ward was the first EMU student-athlete to be named to the All-MAC Third Team since 2012 senior Darrell lampley earned the honor. The 6-foot-7 forward led the Eagles in scoring (12.5 ppg) which ranked as the 16th most in the MAC. In addition to his stellar scoring effort, the Lockport, Ill. native also led the Green and White in rebounding (6.4 rpg) which is the 12th-best in the league, while also being the seventh-best defensive rebounder with 5.1 per contest. Ward also ranked 13th in steals (1.4 spg) and 11th in three point field goal percentage (37.7 percent).

41st Mac sEasOn: The 2014-15 season will also be the 41st for the Eagles in the Mid-American Conference. The first year of MAC play for EMU was 1974-75 when the then-Hurons went 12-14 and 4-9 in league play. Eastern has won three Mid-American Conference championships: 1987-88, 1990-91 and1995-96. The Green and White captured MAC Tournament crowns in all three of those seasons, in addition to winning the tournament title in 1997-98. In 2011-12, the Eagles captured theirfirst-ever Mid-American Conference West Division title.

EaglEs alrEaDy taBBED FOr tv: Eastern Michigan men’s basket-ball has already been scheduled to appear on ESPNU and the Big Ten Network this season. The Eagles’ contest with Michigan, Dec. 9, will air on ESPNU, while their game with Michigan State, Dec. 17, is slated for BTN.

Eastern Michigan Men’s BasketballCoaching Staff



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 basket-ball program. During Murphy’s inaugural season, 2011-12, the Eagles won Eastern’s first-ever MAC West Division Champion-ship. 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 bas-ketball 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 Techni-cal 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, Mur-phy 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 cap-tured 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 Divi-sion 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 (7) and a daughter, Ryann (4).

In just three seasons since arriving from Syracuse University, Head Coach Rob Murphy has made great strides at Eastern Michigan University. 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 Col-legeInsider.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 De-fensive Player of the Year during the 2013-14 campaign. Thus far, Murphy has coached a pair of All-MAC Third Team award winners, in addition to an All-MAC Honorable Mention student-athlete. 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, includ-ing 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 his-tory 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

Eagles Take Down Mustangs, 101-38, in Exhibition RoutGlenn Bryant led all-scorers with 16 points

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team lifted the lid on the 2013-14 season with a 101-38 exhibition game vic-tory over Marygrove College, Nov. 4. It was the second time in the last in the last three seasons that the Green and White squared off with the Mustangs in an exhibition contest. The Eagles shot 51.3 percent from the floor and 73.7 percent from the charity stripe through the contest, as they were led by senior glenn Bryant on the offensive front. He notched 16 points on 8-of-14 shooting. Daylen harrison had 15 points on the night, while Mike talley dropped in 11 points. Junior karrington Ward led EMU under the basket pulling down 10 rebounds with seven on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles totaled 10 blocks on the night, which was just two shy of the Mus-tangs’ field goal total. Bryant rejected four shots, while Da’shonte riley turned away three and Ward had two blocks of his own. Eastern held Marygrove to just 12 field goals on the night, as the Mustangs shot 21.8 percent from the floor. Manny Washington had the best output for Marygrove, going 4-for-6 from the field and 5-for-7 from the free throw line, good for 13 points. After winning the tipoff, the Eagles were able to convert on the first play of the evening with a three-pointer from senior guard J.r. sims. Two consecutive fast break layups from Ward and Talley put the squad up 7-0 and forced the first Mustang time out before two minutes had expired on the first half of the contest. The Green and White kept Marygrove scoreless for five minutes, when a three-point shot by Cheikh Ka found its way through the rim to put the Mustangs on the board, trailing 12-3. By capitalizing on four steals, the Eagles found themselves up 22-3 before a pair of shots from the charity stripe and another three-point conversion from Diante Taylor gave the Mustangs a slight run, only to have a stop put to their offensive effort thanks to a jumper by Bryant and a Ward dunk, extending the Eagles’ lead 26-8. As the final minutes dwindled to close out the first half, EMU managed to go on a 10-3 run, kick started by back-to-back dunks by Bryant. An up-and-under by sopho-more guard Jalen ross and a Sims tip-in put the squad up 45-17 heading into the locker room. The Green and White will be back in action Friday, Nov. 8, when they kick off the 2013-14 regular season with a home contest against Albion College. The squad will start off a doubleheader matinee, tipping off at Noon in the Convocation Center, fol-

Eagles conquer Britons in season Opener, 77-45Da’Shonte Riley starts 2013-14 campaign with career-high performance

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team secured a victory in its home opener against Albion College, Friday, Nov. 8. The 77-45 home opener gives the Eagles a 1-0 record. Eastern had four Eagles in double digit scoring, led by karrington Ward with 17 points in the afternoon contest. raven lee and glenn Bryant had 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Mike Talley contributed 10. Talley, Darell combs and Da’shonte riley each dished out four assists in the win. Riley’s four dimes were a career-high. Defensively, Riley tied his career-high in blocks, rejecting seven of the Britons’ shots and led the team in steals with three. He also tied for a team-high in rebounds with Talley, pulling down five. The entire EMU squad put in a solid effort under the glass, as they out-rebounded Albion 41 to 33. Albion was led by Jordan Herron, who scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Britons. Overall, the Britons were held to a mere 25 percentage on field goals, while the Eagles retained a success rate of 50.8 percent. Ad-ditionally, the Green and White dropped in seven-of-15 three-point attempts, good for a 46.7 percentage. Ward got the Green and White on the board with a long jumper. A Talley dish to Lee beyond the arc quickly put the Eagles up 5-0 over the Britons, aided by Riley’s back-to-back rejections on attempted Albion shots. The Britons found their first points of the contest with a pair of free throws after being held scoreless for three and a half minutes. A Riley handoff to Bryant under the basket resulted in a drawn foul and a three-point play for the Eagles, sending the Eagles into double digits and increasing the lead, 11-2. Coming out of the second media timeout, aggressive defensive pressure by the Green and White forced an Albion turnover, which the Eagles used to their advantage as Ward drained back-to-back three-pointers. The Britons answered back with a three of their own by Zach Hurth, but the Eagles retained a substantial edge, sitting at 17-7 over the opposi-tion. Lee found Olalekan ajayi in the paint to start off a 7-0 run, and after the Britons managed to score off a mid-range jumper from Carter Elliot, EMU ran off four points within 20 seconds courtesy of a slam dunked tip-in by Riley and a Lee fast break teardrop shot over the Briton defensive effort, increasing the lead to a 20-point margin with the Eagles on the winning side of the 29-9 advantage. anthony strickland found the backboard to land a layup to give the Eagles their last points of the first half. The Green and White held the Britons to just three field goals out of an attempted 24 shots for a 12.5 percentage. Mean-while, the Green and White had quadrupled that count, making 12-of-27 for a 44.4 percentage. Talley led going into the locker room with 10 points for the squad, and Riley dominated under the hoop, rejecting five shots and pulling down four rebounds. The Eagles were the first to score coming into the second half after a shot from Ward behind the charity stripe and a layup from Daylen harrison put the Green and White up 34-11. Riley’s sixth block of the afternoon put the rock into Ward’s hands, who ran down the court for a fastbreak dunk. The Britons were able to get their offense going, rattling off six points in under two minutes, but a turnaround jumper from Riley and Lee’s second three point play prevented Albion from stringing any points together and built the lead in the season opening contest to 41-18. Albion picked up its effort in the paint, led by Jordan Herron scoring inside the key twice in a 30-second span. The Briton’s managed to keep pace with the Eagles, scoring 14 points in the first half to battle the Eagles’ 17-point effort. They had a great deal of ground to cover, however, as the Eagle’s first-half effort left them a comfortable cushion at 48-25. The Green and White cut their visiting team no slack, as two jumpers from Glenn Bryant and a three from Sims extended Albion’s deficit to nearly 30 points. The Britons Eric Evans and Carter Elliott served as the catalysts for their squad, combining for nine points in just over a minute of play, bringing the score to 60-36. Talley broke away to hit a layup and a three for Eastern, after which Ward nailed two free throws and Harrison placed a jumper to put the Eagles up 71-40 with under four minutes remaining. The Eagles continued to be a force in the paint, as back-to-back-to-back dunks from Ajayi and Bryant closed out the second half, bringing the final score to 77-45. With the win, the Eagles are 68-49 all-time in season openers. The 32-point victory margin is one point more than when the Eagles and the Britons last met on the hardwood in 2003. The Green and White will remain at home for the next four contests. On Nov. 12, they will host Concordia at 7 p.m.,

Men’s Hoops Moves to 5-0 with 74-69 Victory Versus UTAEMU is 5-0 for the first time in 17 seasons

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team continued its dominance inside the Convocation Center by coming out on top in a back-and-forth battle with the University of Texas at Arlington Saturday, Nov. 23. The 74-69 victory increases the Eagles’ record to 5-0, which is the first time the team has had a 5-0 start since the 1996-97 campaign, while the Mavericks fall to 2-5 on the young 2013-14 season. The Eagles were led by the dynamic performance of redshirt-freshman raven lee (Detroit, Mich.-romulus), who had a career night with 38 points, going 12-for-15 from the field, 9-for-12 from the free throw line and a perfect 5-for-5 on three-point attempts. The Detroit, Mich. native’s high-scoring output was the most points scored by an Eagle since carlos Medlock put up 42 points against Akron, March 11, 2010 in the Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Sophomore Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) contributed 18 points and dished out three assists, while junior karrington Ward (lockport, ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley CC)) dropped in 11 points, handed out two dimes and came away with one block and a steal. Defensively, senior Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) led the team with seven rebounds and turned away four Maverick shots. Arlington had three players post double-digit figures. Brandon Edwards notched a double-double with 30 points and 13 rebounds, while Reger Dowell scored 22 for the Mavs and Jamel Outler nailed four three-pointers to make up his 12 points. As a team, the Eagles shot 21-for-44 from the field for a 47.7 shooting percentage while holding the Mavs to a 41.5 percentage, hitting 22-of-53 shots. Arlington won the battle on the boards, pulling down 34 rebounds to EMU’s 27, but its 15 turnovers proved to be too detrimental for the team in the matchup. The Eagles will hit the road for a matchup against No. 4/5-ranked Kentucky, Wednesday, Nov. 27, to wrap up the Keightley Classic. The game is slated for a 4 p.m. tip-off in Lexington, Ky. and will be broadcast on Fox Sports South.

No. 21/22 UMass Slips Past EMU Hoops, 69-57Eagles drop second straight game to nationally-ranked opponent

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Facing its second straight nationally-ranked opponent, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell, 69-57, to the No. 21/22 University of Massa-chusetts Minutemen Tuesday night, Dec. 4, at the Convocation Center. With the setback, the Eagles drop to 5-2 on the 2013-14 campaign while the Minutemen remain undefeated at 7-0. After shooting 57.7 percent from the field in the first half to build a four-point lead going into the locker room, EMU would only muster 8-of-32 shooting in the final 20 minutes of play as the Minutemen outscored the Eagles 38-22 in the second half. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) and Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)) each recorded 11 points to lead the Eagles in scoring while Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) recorded 10 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked five shots. Eastern struggled from the free-throw line throughout the contest only shooting 36.8 percent (7-of-19). UMass had five players in double figures led by Raphiael Putney who scored 15 points to go along with nine rebounds. Starting center Cady Lalanne recorded a double-double with 12 points and 12 boards on 6-of-11 shooting. As a team, the Minutemen shot 43.1 percent from the floor, making 25-of-58 shots. While UMass attempted the same amount of free throws as the Green and White, the Minutemen made twice as many, going 14-of-19 from the charity stripe. Riley got things started with a bucket in the low post, but it was quickly answered with a basket by redshirt freshman Derrick Gordon of the Minutemen. The Eagles responded with a three-ball retaking the lead; however, UMass would use a 6-0 run to go on top for the first time in the contest, 8-5, with 15:54 remaining in the first half. The Eagles would quickly answer with a 6-0 run of their own to take a three point advantage, however Massachusetts would re-gain the lead itself. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) brought the Eagles within two points after slashing to the basket for a layup. The sophomore guard would then force a turnover, which led to a transition bucket by Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvin-dale ABT (Duquesne)) giving the Eagles a two-point lead. Following a media timeout, EMU would go on a 7-0 run lead by the junior college transfer, Ward, who scored five of the seven points. Ward knocked down a three pointer as well as a fast break layup before Harrison nailed a jumper to put the Eagles up, 24-20, at the 6:24 mark of the opening half. After trading baskets to end the first half, the Green and White would take a four-point lead into the break, 35-31. Eastern shot well from the floor in the first half, sinking 15-of-26 buckets for 57.7 shooting percentage. Ward and Talley led the way with seven points apiece while Riley and Harrison both grabbed four rebounds. Despite getting the Minutemen in foul trouble, the Eagles were not able to capitalize at the foul line, shooting only 3-of-12 for 25 percent. WUMass also had a pair of players tally seven points as Putney and Derrick Gordon paced the Minutemen in first half scoring. The visiting team converted 40 percent of its shots (14-of-35) while going just 2-of-11 from beyond the arc. UMass controlled the paint area in the first half, out-scoring the Eagles, 22-14. The Minutemen would open the second half of the game with a 7-0 run to take a three-point lead, but the Eagles would respond as Harrison hit a three to tie the game up at 40. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) followed with a jumper to give Eastern the lead. How-ever, UMass would score nine of the game’s next 11 points to advance ahead 49-44 and force EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy to call a timeout with 9:26 remaining in the contest.

Saturday afternoon

WEst laFayEttE, ind. (EMUEagles.com) — After a slow start offensively, the East-ern Michigan University men’s basketball team came up just short versus Purdue Uni-versity, 69-64, Saturday, Dec. 7.

Ward also corralled eight rebounds in the contest. glenn Bryant was one carom shy of his first double-double of the season after recording 11 points and a season-best nine boards. raven lee contributed nine points and five rebounds, while Darell combs added seven points of his own. As a team, the Green and White went 21-of-50 (42.0 percent) from the floor, while connecting on 7-of-21 (33.3 percent) of its three-point opportunities. Eastern Michigan got its free throw shooting in order versus the Big Ten opponent, going 15-of-21 (71.4 percent), just one-of-two games that EMU has shot over 70 percent from the free throw line. The Eagles out-rebounded Purdue, 39-32, while the Boilermakers hit 20-of-50 shots in the game, including six from downtown. Bryson Scott led PU’s offensive at-tack with 16 points, including a 10-of-13 performance from the charity stripe, while Kendall Stephens posted 13 points, knocking down three triples. Purdue won the turnover battle, 20-14, which led to the eventual loss that the Eagles suffered. The Eagles shot 43.5 percent in the first half after going 10-for-23 from the floor and 3-for-9 from downtown. EMU got off to a good start at the free throw line, knock-ing down 6-of-8 attempts in the first half. Ward led the offensive attack in the first half with a 5-for-9 shooting performance, hitting 2-of-4 shots from beyond the arc and caroming four rebounds. Combs added five points, while Bryant and Lee each contributed four. The Boilermakers hit 12-of-28 shots in the opening half, good for a 42.9 percent clip, but were only able to knock down 7-of-14 attempts from the charity stripe. Directly following the Ward flush, Basil Smotherman returned with a layup to push Purdue back to a three-point lead. EMU and the Boilermakers played offense back-and-forth but a three-ball from Terone Johnson pushed Purdue back up four with 5:15 left in the contest. Following another converted bucket from the Boilermakers, Ward knocked down another three-pointer to bring EMU within two at the 3:57 mark. However, the Eagles came no closer than that down the stretch as the Boilermakers outscored the Green and White by three in the final four minutes of play to finish the game with a score of 69-64.

With the victory over the No. 12-ranked mid-major program in the country according to the current CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll, the Eagles snapped a three-game losing skid to win for the first time since Nov. 23 when they knocked off the University of Texas Arlington, 74-69. Coming into the contest shooting just 63.6 percent from the free-throw line, the Eagles (6-3) iced the game away, making 28-of-39 attempts throughout the night. Eastern shot 43.9 percent from the field (18-for-41), including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. The EMU defense was strong all night long, holding the Phoenix (5-3) to just 35.3 shooting from the floor and forcing 18 turnovers. Four Eagles reached double-digits in scoring led by Raven Lee . The redshirt-fresh-man scored 17 points, making seven of his eight foul shots. Karrington Ward added 13 points and seven rebounds to continue the strong start to his EMU career. Mike Talley recorded 11 points, going 8-of-10 form the charity stripe, while dishing out four assists without coughing up a turnover. Da’Shonte Riley packed the stat line with 11 points, eight boards, three blocks and an assist before fouling out with 14 seconds left in the game. Green Bay out-rebounded Eastern, 37-29, led by 7-foot 1-inch center Alec Brown who grabbed 10 caroms and 19 points for a double-double. Keifer Sykes also chipped in with 13 points for the Phoenix, who made the same amount of shots as EMU, but missed an additional 10 attempts. Coming into the game averaging 76 points per game, Green Bay only managed a season-low 58 points against Eastern’s tough 2-3 zone. The Eagles will take a break to focus on the end of the semester before returning to the floor Saturday, Dec. 21, to face Oakland University.

talley’s career Day Earns EMU an 81-79 Overtime Win at Oakland

The guard posted 21 points, nine assists and a pair of steals

rOchEstEr, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — After dropping its only two road contests of the season, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team knocked off Oakland University, 81-79, in an overtime non-conference slug fest at the Athletics Center O’rena Saturday, Dec. 21, in Rochester, Mich. It was the first time EMU defeated the Golden Grizzlies on their home court since the 2009-10 season when the Green and White topped Oakland, 81-77, Nov. 14, 2009. It was just the second time that EMU has defeated Oakland since it became an NCAA Division I institution in 1999-2000. It was also the first time EMU squared off with a team in overtime since Feb. 1, 2012 when the Eagles fell, 62-57, at Miami. The Green and White’s win at the O’rena broke a winning streak of 10-straight games won by Oakland on their home floor. EMU (7-3) was led by a career day from Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) who posted career-highs in points (21) and assists (9), without turning the ball over in the victory. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) added 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting, along with six rebounds, while Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) contributed 13 points off the bench. Da’Shonte Ri-ley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) posted 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds, and swatted three shots in Eastern’s first road win of the year. As a team, the Green and White shot 46.3 percent from the floor after knocking down 31-of-67 shots. Despite hitting just a pair of shots in the overtime period, the Eagles knocked down 5-of-6 shots from the free throw line to ice the game down the stretch. The Eagles forced 12 turnovers while coughing up the rock just five times in the game, four of which came in the first five minutes of play. Travis Bader led Oakland with 33 points, hitting 10-of-15 from beyond the arc. Corey Petros posted a double-double with 13 points and 19 rebounds, including 11 offensive boards. Dante Williams contributed 16 points off the bench, while Khalil Felder added 11. Eastern held Oakland to a 37.9 shooting percentage, but the Golden Grizzlies did convert on 14-of-31 attempts from three-point land. It was a very slow and sloppy start for both teams offensively, as the first field goal was not scored until the 16:32 mark when Bryant knocked down a jumper to knot things up at two apiece. The Eagles and Oakland traded buckets back and forth to start, but it was a 7-0 run that put the Golden Grizzlies up 9-4 with 12:17 left of the clock. Ward knocked down a jumper to break the Grizzlies’ streaking offensive attack, but Oakland responded with five-straight to get on top by eight, 14-6, at the 9:39 mark in the first half. After each team went back-and-forth scoring the rock, the Eagles put together a five-point run to bring the game within three, 16-13. After trading buckets down the

DUrhaM, n.c. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell to the No. 9-ranked Duke University Blue Devils, 82-59, Saturday afternoon inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the setback, the Eagles dropped to 7-4 on the season while Duke improved to 10-2. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT) led the Eagles for the second straight game, scoring 20 points, just one shy of his career high.

The Blue Devils also out-rebounded EMU, 47-32, grabbing 20 offensive rebounds for 18 second chance points. The Eagles took the opening tip and scored on its first possession as Talley drove the lane and converted while drawing the foul. The EMU starting guard converted the old-fashioned three point play to put the Eagles ahead, 3-0. Duke responded with a pair of dunks by Parker to take its first lead of the game; however, Talley answered with a three from the top of the key to give his team the early 6-4 advantage. The matchup of Parker versus Talley continued as the Duke freshman drilled a three from the wing to give the lead back to Duke. Following a free throw, Parker and Talley had scored all of the points for their respective teams going into the first media timeout, as Duke led by two, 8-6. Coming out of the break, Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary) checked into the contest and immediately made an impact, sinking a jumper over Parker to knot the contest up, 8-8. The Blue Devils proceeded to convert a pair of free throws on the other end, but Harrison tied the game up once again with another basket from the wing. EMU would go through a four-minute scoring drought that allowed Duke to score eight straight. Finally, Sims ended the dry spell with three pointer to cut the deficit to five. Sims continued on a tear coming off the bench, scoring eight of Eastern’s next 10 points to get within one bucket, 22-20, with 7:13 remaining in the first half. Over the next four minutes, the Blue Devils broke open the contest with a 10-1 run to build their lead into double digits. The Eagles tallied four of their next six points from the charity stripe to cut the margin to 10, 37-27, going into the locker room.

EMU Drops New Year’s Eve Showdown to No. 2 Syracuse, 70-48Glenn Bryant scored a season high 19 points as the Eagles scored 48

points in the Carrier Dome for the third straight season

syracUsE, n.y. (EMUEagles.com) — Closing out the 2013 calendar year, the Eastern Michigan Uni-versity men’s basketball team dropped a 70-48 decision to No. 2-ranked Syracuse University Tuesday af-ternoon, Dec. 31, in the Carrier Dome. For the third straight season, the Eagles scored exactly 48 points against the Orange. It was a homecoming of sorts for EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy, who coached under Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim for seven seasons. In the third matchup between the two, the legendary coach’s team held his former assistant’s team to a season-low 48 points. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy) recorded a season-high 19 points to lead Eastern in scoring, also grabbing a team-best eight rebounds. The redshirt senior was on the receiving end of four alley-oops while shooting 8-of-11 throughout the contest. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) converted 4-of-5 from beyond the arc as the only other Eagle in double digits. As a team, EMU struggled shooting, making 17-of-54 for a 31.5 percent clip overall, including 7-of-28 from long range. Jerami Grant and Rakeem Christmas paced Syracuse with 15 points apiece as they were two-of-four Orange in double figures. C.J. Fair chipped in with 13 points while Trevor Cooney also scored 10. While starting point guard Travis Ennis did not score, he did tally a team-high nine assists. SU shot extremely well from the floor, sinking 51 percent of its shots (26-of-51). While the Orange struggled from long range (3-of-14), they found success in the paint, racking up 40 points in that area. Although the Eagles secured the opening tip, they could not score first as Christmas opened up the scoring for SU with a jumper. However, EMU responded with a wing three from Lee to give Eastern its first lead of the game. The Orange answered right back with a 9-0 run to lead, 11-3, heading into the first media timeout. Coming out of the break in the action, Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood) ended the Orange run with a jumper from long range. Once again, Syracuse countered with seven straight points to in-crease its advantage to 12, prompting Coach Murphy to take a timeout with 13:28 remaining in the first half. The first half continued with runs by the Orange as they scored eight straight before Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT) broke a four-minute scoreless spell with a jumper in the paint. The EMU defense stepped up its 2-3 zone to hold Syracuse without a basket for three straight possessions. After the third stop, Bryant picked up a loose ball rebound and sank the easy bunny as he was fouled. The redshirt senior converted at the line for the old fashioned three point play. After an alley-oop on the other end, Bryant countered with another three-point play to cut into the deficit, 32-21, with 4:18 left in the first half. The Detroit, Mich. native continued his strong play with an offensive board in the corner that led to a two-handed slam by Ward, increasing the EMU run to 13-4. Bryant scored eight of his team’s final 15 points as two Talley free throws brought the deficit into single digits, 36-27, at halftime. After trailing by as many as 20, the Eagles held Syracuse to just six points in the final 7:33 of the first half while scoring 17 points over that time frame. Bryant’s 10 points and seven boards paced the Eagles in the opening half as EMU shot just 31 percent (9-of-29) from the floor, including 3-of-14 from beyond the arc. The Green and White was successful from the free throw line in the opening 20 minutes, making all six attempts from the charity stripe. Syracuse was led by Grant in the first half as the sophomore scored 12 points for the Orange. SU was red hot from the field, shooting 15-of-28 for a 53.6 percent clip in large part to scoring 26 points in the

Eastern tops rochester in Decisive 92-54 non-conference Finale

Five Eagles notched double-digit scoring efforts

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team wel-comed the new year with a victory in its non-conference season finale against Rochester College. The 92-54 win leaves the Eagles boasting an 8-5 record heading into Mid-American Conference competi-tion, while Rochester falls to 11-7 overall. The Green and White was led by Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Val-ley CC)) with 14 points. Four other Eagles notched double-digit figures as Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thronwood (Blinn)), Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus), Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) and Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)) all added at least 10 points for EMU. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) had a career game on the boards after pulling down 14 rebounds for the team. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) and Lee setup the Eagle offense, each handing out three assists apiece while Lee grabbed an additional three steals. As a squad, the Eagles shot 34-of-57 for a season-high 59.6 percent clip. The Green and White also sank 21-of-29 free throws for 72.4 percent. The team was dominant in rebounding, recording 43 com-pared to Rochester’s 25 boards. The Eagles also notched 10 steals in the matchup and forced an ad-ditional eight turnovers. Stavros Schizas paced the Warriors with 15 points and five rebounds. The Eagles were able to hold Rochester to 20-of-59 shooting (33.9 percent). The Warriors knocked down nine three-pointers to make up half of their points, but only shot at a 23.1 percent clip after taking 39 attempts throughout the course of the game. The Eagles got on the board early after an elbow jumper from Bryant found its way through the rim, followed up by a shot well over the Rochester defenders from Ward. Schizas soon recorded the first points for the Warriors by draining a triple. Not being one to ignore the advantages of his frame, Ward assertively rejected a shot from the elevating Kourea Hayes, which was snatched up and run down-court by Lee for a fastbreak play that would bring the Eagles to a 10-5 advantage over the Warriors. Rochester was not silenced despite Bryant throwing down a thunderous dunk, as the Warriors were able to find consecutive success in the paint thanks to Schizas’s aggressive drives to the rim. After a five-point effort from the Greek guard and an three-point jumper from AJ Burton, Rochester found itself just two points shy of EMU, sitting at a 16-14 disadvantaged with 13 minutes remaining in the half. The Warriors’ 7-0 run was put to an end when Harrison fought his way through the paint to notch a put-back for the Eagles. The layup sparked a 12-3 run for the Green and White, most of which came from inside the paint, ending with Paris Pereira hitting a last-second three-pointer before the shot clock expired. With five minutes remaining, the Eagles retained a solid 28-20 edge over the Warriors. Hot off the bench, Jalen Ross (Greensboro, N.C.-Greensboro Day) came in and dropped in a quick quintet of points for EMU as the scoring gap continued to expand in favor of the Green and White. De-spite building up to a 39-25 lead over Rochester within three minutes, Eastern continued to implement

EMU Topples Bowling Green, 56-51, in MAC OpenerMike Talley and Karrington Ward combine for 27 points to lead

the Eagles to their road conference victory

BOWling grEEn, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team tipped off Mid-American Conference play with a 56-51 road victory over the Bowling Green State University Falcons Wednesday night, Jan. 8, at the Stroh Center. With the win in the battle of the birds, the Eagles improved to 9-5 (1-0 MAC) on the 2013-14 campaign while the Falcons dropped to 6-8 (0-1 MAC). Point guard Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) led the Eagles in scoring with 14 points while teammate Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) added 13 to go along with seven rebounds and a career-high four steals. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) pulled down a team-best eight boards and scored all nine of his points in the second half. As a team, the Green and White shot just 34.7 percent from the field (17-of-49), including one-of-seven from beyond the arc. However, the Eagles made up for their shooting at the charity stripe, sinking 21-of-30 for a 70 percent clip. Looking to get the ball inside, Eastern tallied 28 of its 56 points inside the paint. Bowling Green’s starters scored 50-of-51 points while four reached double figures led by 17 points from Ward’s high school teammate, Richaun Holmes. Jehvon Clarke recorded 11, and the duo of Spencer Parker and Anthony Henderson tallied 10 points apiece for the Falcons, who struggled scoring against the EMU defense all night long. BG made 16-of-52 field goals (30.8 percent) with just 3-of-16 from long range. Bowl-ing Green held the slight rebounding advantage, 38-37, but coughed the ball up 16 times throughout the contest. After both teams came up empty on their first few possessions, Bowling Green opened up the scoring with a bucket from the block by Holmes nearly two minutes into the game. On Eastern’s fifth shot of the game, Talley tied things up with a nifty drive through the middle of the lane. Thirty seconds later, Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) split a pair of free throws to give the Eagles their first lead of the contest; however, it wouldn’t last long as Holmes converted down low for the Falcons. On the next possession, Ward answered by hitting a wide open three to put his team ahead, 6-4, with 15:39 remaining in the first half. The Eagles 2-3 zone gave BGSU fits starting the game as the Falcons mustered just nine points in the first ¬¬11 minutes on 3-of-16 shooting for a 21.4 percent clip. Nonetheless, EMU made just 5-of-15 through that timeframe, holding a four-point advantage. The focal point of the Eagles’ strong defense was Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)), who turned away three of those shots from the bottom center of the zone.

rebounds

BUFFalO, n.y. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University team dropped a Mid-Amer-ican Conference game for the first time this season Saturday afternoon, Jan. 11, to the University at Buffalo, 76-66. Despite having four players in double-figures, the Eagles (9-6, 1-1 MAC) couldn’t match the Bulls (8-4, 2-0 MAC) three-point shooting down the stretch. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) was the leader on the floor, picking up his first double-double this season with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Bryant went 6-of-11 from the floor and tied his season-best point total, while swatting a pair of UB shots on the defensive side of the floor. Bryant was one-of-four Eagles to tally double-digit scoring efforts. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) poured in 15, while Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) and Kar-rington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) contributed 12 and 10 points, respectively. Talley also dished out six assists, while Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) led the Eagles on the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds. The Green and White shot 40.7 percent from the floor (24-of-59), while hitting just 3-of-17 from long range for a 17.6 percent clip. Eastern was strong at the free throw line, knocking down 15-of-18 attempts for its best free throw percentage (83.3 percent) of the 2013-14 campaign. Turnovers seemed to be the difference in the game. EMU caused eight turnovers, while the Eagles coughed up the ball on 17 occasions. Buffalo shot 39.7 percent (27-of-68) from the field, while converting on 32 percent (8-of-25) of its triple tries. Jarryn Skeete led the Bulls with 19 points, while Will Regan and Jarod Oldham each added 11. Despite being held scoreless in the first half, Javon McCrea posted a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. The contest opened with a flurry of offense for the Green and White, knocking down its first three field goal attempts, including a pair of jumpers from Lee. Looking a 6-2 tally, the Eagles and Bulls traded points for the first six minutes of play, until Oldham poured in a layup to give Buffalo its first lead of the game. EMU quickly knotted things up at 16 apiece before UB went on an 8-2 run, jumping ahead 24-18 with just under eight minutes remaining. The Green and White then fought back with a six point run of their own, tying the game at 24. Buffalo then used a pair of triples to take a four point, 30-26, lead with just under five minutes to play in the first half. This was when the EMU defense clamped down, not allowing a point to be scored through the remainder of the half. Talley converted a pair from the charity stripe before Riley knocked down a fade away jumper to knot things up at 30 heading into the locker room for halftime. Bryant scored 10 of his 19 points in the opening half, while the Eagles shot 48 percent (12-of-25) from the floor as a team. The Green and White held Buffalo to just a 36.4 percent (12-of-33) in the first half. It was like déjà vu in the second half as EMU scored the first five points, jumping out to a 35-30 lead. McCrea responded by scoring the next four points himself to make it a one point game. EMU turned around to go on an 8-1 run, picking up its biggest lead of the game, 43-35. The two squads traded buckets for the next five minutes, until the Bulls scored six of the next seven points, making it deadlocked at 48 points with 10:42 remaining in the game. The next basket wasn’t scored for over two and a half minutes when Xavier Ford laid one in at the 8:09 mark giving UB its first lead since the first half. The Eagles tied the game back up, 56-56, with 5:18 left, but Buffalo then re-gained the lead and never relinquished it. UB was able to jump ahead by as many as 12, but EMU couldn’t mount the

Eagle Defense Clamps Down on Broncos in 56-37 WinEagles move to 2-1 in MAC play with 56-37 victory

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team bounced back from a Mid-American Conference loss to overtake in-state opponent Western Michigan University, 56-37, inside the Convocation Center, Tuesday evening, Jan. 14. With the win, the Eagles are boosted to a 10-6 (2-1 MAC) record and a share for the lead of the MAC West Division, while the Broncos fall to 9-6 (2-1 MAC). The 37 points scored by the Broncos are the fewest allowed since the Green and White held Northern Illinois University to 25 points, Jan. 26, 2013. The Eagles were led by Darell Combs (South Holland, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)), who had 14 points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field, and Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)), whose 14 points came from going 3-of-5 from three-point range and hitting five free throws. Talley also led the team in assists with three and notched an additional three steals. Despite Talley’s effort on defense, the leader in steals was Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary), who had a career-high five steals in the contest. As a team, the Eagles were 17-of-47 a 36.2 shooting percentage from the field. The squad addi-tionally went 16-of-23 from the free throw line for a 69.6 percent clip. The team notched a season-high 18 steals, the most since the opening game against Concordia University, Nov. 12, when the team snatched the ball 14 times against the Cardinals. It was also the most since EMU posted 18 steals in a loss to Davidson back on Nov. 10, 2006. The Eagles also forced 26 turnovers which was the most since they forced 32 against Davidson in that same game. The Broncos were held to 12-of-42 shooting, but pulled down 38 rebounds compared to 31 for the Eagles. WMU was led by David Brown, who contrib-uted 18 points before being ejected for a flagrant foul in the final minutes of the game. After a bout of spry Eagle defense as the Broncos made their first attempt to score, Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) rejected a shot from Connar Tava. WMU quickly got the ball back and hit a triple to open up scoring for the matchup, but Combs answered back with a shot of his own from behind the arc to tie the contest up at three points apiece. David Brown scored his second long shot of the game to put the Broncos up, 8-3. Bryant then made a play on the other end of the court, running through the open lane to get an assist from Talley and throwing down a dunk to bring the Green and White within three points of the Broncos. The Eagles took the lead shortly after Combs hit a free throw and a three-pointer. Talley nailed another triple from the top of the arc to establish more of a cushion as the count was brought to 12-8 after the uncontested nine-point run. Talley found his favorite spot to drain a three-pointer once more, as he hit his second trey in-a-row. Fired up by the recent explosive scoring effort, Bryant nabbed the ball from Tucker Haymond and bounded down-court with Haymond in close pursuit. Haymond’s effort seemed in vain, as Bryant elevated well above his defender to slam a dunk that sent shockwaves of excitement through the crowd and draw a foul, converting on the and-one. The Green and White quickly found more opportunites to score, gaining a 22-10 advantage over WMU. The Broncos were held scoreless for six minutes, as the Eagles played a stingy defense rife with shot-forcing pressure, soaring blocks, and accurate readings on their opponent’s plays. Western managed to put together a four-point run as the Eagles struggled to find ways to score on their end of the court. Talley got the gears moving again with his third three-pointer of the evening to extend the advantage to a 27-14 count. But the Eagles were not offensively sparked until the final

Eagles tied for Mac lead after 72-59 Win at central MichiganFive Eagles notched double-digit scoring efforts

Mt. PlEasant, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Despite losing all three games that it has played in at McGuirk Arena, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team reversed the trend in Mount Pleasant, Mich. by defeating Central Michigan University, 72-59, for the first time on the road since the 2008-09 season. With the victory, Eastern is tied for the lead in the Mid-American Conference with a tally of 3-1 in MAC games, while owning an 11-6 overall record. Central is now 7-9 on the season and 0-4 in conference play. The win is Eastern’s second MAC win on the road, which ties the amount of conference road games that EMU won during the 2012-13 season. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) was the high-scorer in the game, tying his career-best 21 points on 6-of-13 shooting. In addition, Talley was a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) owned the glass for EMU pulling down a career-high 15 rebounds to go along with 15 points. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) provided 10 points off the bench, going 4-of-7 from the floor. As a team, the Green and White shot 43.8 percent from the floor (21-of-48), while knocking down 82.9 percent (29-of-35) of their shots at the charity stripe. CMU had two double-digit scorers with Austin Stewart posting a team-high 15 points, while Chris Fowler added 13 of his own. Eastern held the Chippewas to just a 35.2 percent field goal percentage, while holding them to just 59 points, 16 points less than their season average. After missing the first shot of the game, the Eagles pulled down an offensive rebound and Talley drained a triple to get EMU on the board first at the 19:32 mark. Central quickly marched back to a three point, 8-5 lead, but the Eagles retaliated with a 12-2 run, regaining the lead and extending it to seven with just over six minutes to go in the first half, however the Chips didn’t go away quietly. Using a 9-2 run, CMU tied up the game at 19 points apiece before EMU scored six of the final eight points in the half to head into the break with a 25-21 lead. Both teams struggled offensively in the first half. EMU knocked down just eight of its 25 field goal attempts, for a 32 percent, while converting just one of nine triple tries. Talley led the way, scoring nine points on 2-of-4 shooting, while sinking all four of his free throw attempts. The Green and White held Central to just a 26.1 percent free throw percentage in the opening half. Offense was easier to come by in the second half, as EMU shot 56.5 percent in the final 20 minutes of play. EMU knocked down 13 of its 23 field goal attempts, while also hitting 21-of-26 of its free throw chances. Eastern traded buckets with the Chips through the first six minutes of play in the second half before rattling off a 13-4 run to extend the lead to 14, 51-37, with 10:29 left in the contest. Central mounted a miniature comeback, outscoring the Green and White, 17-9, in the next seven minutes, cutting the Eastern lead to just six, 60-54, with just over three minutes left in the contest. The Chippewas fouled the Green and White down the stretch, in attempts to get more chances to crawl back into the game. However, over the final 180 ticks of the clock, the Eagles drained 10-of-12 free throw attempts to keep their lead intact. Central scored just five points in that span, two of which were scored by John Simons at the free throw line, while Blake Hibbetts netted a three-ball. It was EMU’s stifling defensive effort that kept Central to under 60 points for just the third time this season, taking a 72-59 victory away from Mount Pleasant. The Eagles return home for three-straight games, starting Wednesday, Jan. 22, when Eastern hosts the reigning MAC Tournament Champion, University of Akron, for a 7 p.m. contest at the Convocation Center. The game will be televised by the Time Warner Cable Sports Channel (TWC) in Ohio and New York, and offered to ESPN for inclusion on ESPN3, Watch ESPN and ESPN Full Court. TWC will also work

Slow Start Sinks EMU Hoops in 78-68 Loss to AkronKarrington Ward scores 20 to lead the Eagles (11-7, 3-2 MAC) in

the setback

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team dropped a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional contest to the MAC East-leading University of Akron, 78-68, in the Convocation Center. With the setback, the Eagles drop to 11-7 (3-2 MAC), while Akron improves to 12-6 (4-1 MAC). The squad suffered a series of ups-and-downs, as Akron came out of the gates with a 10-0 run and increased its scoring margin to as many as 19 points throughout the matchup. The Eagles were led by Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Mo-raine Valley C.C.)), who put up 16 of his 20 points in the second half. The junior also finished with six rebounds, tied with Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) for the team-high. Riley tied his career-high with seven blocks, notch-ing all but one in the second 20 minutes of play. Also on the leaderboard offensively were Darell Combs (South Holland, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) and Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)), who contributed 12 and 10 points, respectively. As a team, the Eagles were 26-of-72 from the field for a 36.1 shooting percentage. The squad struggled on the outside, hitting just 5-of-21 from three-point range. The Green and White also had a lower output in stolen balls than in previous matchups, as only five steals were recorded for the evening. The Zips were led by Jake Kretzer, who scored 25 points thanks in large part to seven three-pointers. Demetrius Treadwell was a threat across the board, as he pro-duced a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and led the team in blocks with five rejections. Akron shot 27-of-58 from the field for a 46.6 percent clip, and hit more than half its three-point attempts. The team’s main defensive strength proved to be under the basket, as the team notched 14 blocks over the Eagles. Akron started the scoring with a three from Kretzer on its opening possession. The Zips continued their fast start with two bunnies and another Kretzer three, leading 10-0 and forcing EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy to take a timeout just three minutes into the contest. Coming out of the timeout, the Eagles continued to struggle on of-fense. While Akron finally missed its first shot of the game, EMU couldn’t hit on the first seven shots of the game, still trailing with 15:55 to go in the first half. EMU finally lit up the scoring column as Talley knocked down one out of three after being fouled on an attempt from beyond the arc, breaking the Akron 12-0 run. UA added a bucket from the block and Kretzer’s third three of the game before Ross hit the Eagles’ first field goal of the game, breaking a 0-of-9 start. However, Kretzer

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team dropped its second consecutive cross-divisional contest to Ohio University, 58-56, Jan. 25, in the Convocation Center. Despite leading for all but the final 1:36 of the contest, the Eagles were unable to hold off the Bobcats in the closing minutes of the afternoon’s matchup. With the setback, the Eagles fall to 11-8 (3-3 MAC), while Ohio advances to 14-5 (4-2 MAC). The Eagles were led by Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) and Kar-rington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)). Bryant tossed in 14 points for the Green and White and pulled down seven rebounds. Ward notched his third double-double of the 2013-14 season, putting up 13 points and a team-high 10 boards. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) led all players with three blocks, while pulling down nine rebounds. As a team, the Eagles shot 19-of-55 for 34.5 percent from the field, well below the 45.8-percent clip they usually boast within the friendly confines of the Convocation Center. The squad also hit just two shots from three-point range. Conversely, the Bobcats hit 10 triples en route to their vic-tory, as half their field goals came from beyond the arc. Ohio was 20-of-60 on the afternoon for a 33.3 shooting percentage. The team also bested the Eagles in rebounding (45-42), assists (14-10), and steals (8-2). A bout of staunch defense from the Eagles prevented the squad from surrendering the open-ing points of the game. Ward opened up the scoring by nailing a pair of free throws after being fouled on a drive down the lane, after which Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud (Adrian)) put an easy two after faking out Ohio’s center and going off the glass from the right low post. The Eagles forced three turnovers on consecutive possessions, the third of which was converted thanks to Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) throwing up a shot from just inside the arc to draw the foul and sink the additional free throw. The Green and White quickly built up a 7-0 lead in just three minutes before a block by Riley defied Nick Kellogg’s attempt to put the Bobcats on the board. The ball was recovered by Ward, who made a cross-court launch to Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) for the easy layup, forcing Ohio head coach Jim Christain to call a timeout. Javarez Willis answered the call to ignite the Bobcat offense, as the junior hit a three-pointer to end four minutes of scoreless play for OU. Still boasting an early six-point advantage, the Green and White quickly expanded on its lead as Ward swished a triple from the sideline and Riley stepped into the center of the key to hit a hook shot. Ohio mustered a slight four point run, but its effort was thwarted as Bryant rose well above the rest of the field to sink a turnaround jumper. Bryant then teamed up to send the crowd into an up-roar as Ward faked a layup and directed the ball off the glass into the hands of the high-flying senior, who threw down a two-handed dunk to bring the Eagles up, 20-9, with 8:40 remaining in the half. Stevie Taylor brought the Bobcats within five points after hitting back-to-back three-pointers, but the Green and White adjusted and slowed the recent scoring outburst, holding Ohio to just one point over the next 4:30. EMU remained somewhat stagnant as well, as its next sextet of points came solely from the charity stripe. Taylor hit another trey to prevent EMU from retaining its double-digit lead before Mo Hughley

Bryant’s Career Night Lifts Eastern to 69-57 Victory Over BGSUGlenn Bryant had a career-high 26 points, while EMU snapped a two-

game losing skid

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team was able to snap a two-game losing skid with a 69-57 decision over Mid-American Conference opponent Bowl-ing Green State University, Jan. 29. With the victory, the Eagles are boosted to 12-8 (4-3 MAC) while the Falcons fall to 9-11 (3-4 MAC). The Eagles were led by the career-high night of Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Ar-kansas)), who poured in 26 points to go with his second double-double of the 2013-14 campaign. The senior led all Eagles with 10 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. The trio of steals is also a career-high for the Detroit, Mich. native. Also notching double-digit scoring performances in the victory were Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)), Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) and Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)). Collectively, the Eagles were 24-of-60 from the floor, good for 40.0 percent. The Green and White picked up its game inside the key, as over half the points came from within the paint. The team also out-rebounded the Falcons 45-36, after being held on the lower end of the battle on the boards for the previous two contests. Bowling Green was led by Richaun Holmes, who posted 20 points to go with his nine rebounds. The Falcons shot 20-of-56 for a 35.7 percent success rate and hit 8-of-13 shots from three-point range. The Eagles forced 17 turnovers from the opposing team, seven of which resulted in a successful fastbreak finishes. Though the Falcons were the first to get on the board, Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) quickly retaliated up with a triple to get the offense going. The score would soon be knotted up at five points apiece, but the score flipped in favor of the Falcons after the team made its way to the bucket to take a quick 9-5 advantage. The Green and White took off on an offensive tear, as Talley drained a triple and Bryant picked up a rebound to throw down one of his patented dunks to give the Eagles the lead. Talley made his way down-court to draw the foul off a layup, as his additional free throw extended the Green and White’s string of points to an 8-0 run. Harrison sank the third trey of the evening to bring the score up to 16-9, but Bowling Green battled back, bringing its deficit to just two points with eight minutes remaining in the half. The Eagles built up more of a lead as Talley dropped two dimes as he found Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) open in the low post for a quick slam and threw up a high-arcing alley-oop to Bryant for the second consecutive crowd-rousing play. Bryant dropped in the next four points for the Eagles, as the Falcons relied heavily on their outside game to stay in the game. A fastbreak jumper from Harrison put the Green and White up 29-24 with three minutes to play in the half. BGSU left the lane to the rim wide open as Bryant notched his fourth and fifth dunks of the game within a minute. The senior eclipsed 20 points, scoring over half the team’s tally in the first half, off a tip-in with 20 seconds remaining. The team retreated to the locker room boasting a 39-29 advantage over the Falcons. Leading the Green and White was Bryant, who had already surpassed his career-high with 21 points in the opening period. The Detroit, Mich. native also paced the team in rebounds with seven boards and came away with a steal and one rejection. Leading the team in steals was Mo Hughley (Queens Village, N.Y.-Martin Van Buren (CSU Bakersfield)), who had two of the team’s seven pick pockets. Talley, not surprisingly, was the assist leader for the half as his four helpers paved the way for the dunk show that was put on in the opening half. The team shot 15-of-34 from the field for a 44.1 percentage, while it held BGSU to taking just 23

RedHawks Clip Eagles, 65-61, with Late JumperEMU drops to 12-9 on the season and 4-4 in MAC play

OxFOrD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team let an eight-point halftime lead slip away as the Eagles fell, 65-61, to Miami University Saturday afternoon, Feb. 1, in Millett Hall. Miami’s Will Felder hit a jumper inside the paint with 25 seconds left for the game-winner. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) recorded 18 points to lead Eastern (12-9, 4-4 MAC) in scoring while Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley CC)) added 16. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) also chipped in off the bench with eight points and a team-high eight rebounds. As a team, the Eagles shot just 38.2 percent (21-of-55) from the floor. Nearly half of EMU’s made shots were from three-point land as they were 10-of-24 from long range. On the defensive side of the court, the Eagles caused 18 Miami turnovers. Miami (9-10, 5-3 MAC) shot 14-of-24 (58.3 percent) in the second half, outscoring the Eagles 43-31. MU shot 43.1 percent for the game on 22-of-51 shooting, including 8-of-16 from beyond the arc. Three RedHawks reached double figures led by 19 points from Will Sullivan. Felder notched a double-double with 17 points and 15 caroms, while Geovonie McKnight tallied 10 points. The RedHawks held the re-bound advantage, 39-29. EMU forced three Miami turnovers in the first four minutes, creating offensive opportunities on the other end of the floor. Nearly two minutes into the contest, Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) drilled a corner three to open up the scoring. The Eagles’ starting point then found Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) on an alley-oop as the senior threw down a thunderous dunk. On the next possession, Ward stole the ball and took it coast-to-coast to make it 7-0 in favor of the Green and White, forcing Miami Head Coach John Cooper to call timeout. Coming out of the break, Miami finally broke the scoring column with a jumper by McKnight. How-ever, Lee responded with an NBA-range three to increase the lead to eight. The margin continue to grow as EMU knocked down 3-of-4 free throws while holding the RedHawks to 1-of-9 shooting in the opening eight minutes of play. With 11:45 left in the first half, the Eagles held a 13-4 advantage. MU used hit four triples, including three from Sullivan as a part of a 12-4 run, cutting the Eagles’ lead to one, 19-18. Nonetheless, EMU nearly matched that with an 11-4 run of its own in the half’s final 4:45. Ward tallied eight points during that stretch, knocking down a jumper and a pair of treys, as Eastern took a 30-22 lead into the locker room. The Green and White shot an even 40 percent from the floor (10-25) while also knocking down 4-of-9 from long range. Ward recorded 12 of EMU’s first half points while Lee added seven. The Eagles forced nine turnovers, but committed seven of their own. Eastern’s 2-3 zone held Miami to just 8-of-27 for a 29.6 percent clip. Sullivan paced the RedHawks in scoring as all of his nine points came from be-yond the arc. The RedHawks came out hot in the second half, hitting five of their first six shots to decrease the difference to a single point, 35-34. After each team exchanged three pointers, MU tied the game for the first time as McKnight split a pair of free throws. The home squad then took its first lead of the game, forcing a turnover that led to a fastsbreak layup. Once again, the Eagles responded to regain the lead. Checking into the ball game for the first time, Darrell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn College)) knocked down back-to-back triples to put Eastern ahead. Ward then grabbed another steal and broke away from the pack to throw down a slam, making it 48-45 in favor of the Eagles with 10:35 remaining in the contest. After EMU scored seven straight, Miami went back up with a 14-3 run to hold a six-point cushion. Trailing by that same mark with under two minutes to go, Lee cut the margin in half, 61-58, with a three from the wing, and Head Coach Rob Murphy called timeout to set up his defense. The timeout paid off

late akron run sinks Eastern, 52-48, on the roadThe Eagles held the lead through the game until the 2:42 mark

akrOn, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basket-ball team dropped a nail biter on the road Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the University of Akron. Eastern (12-10, 4-5 MAC) held the lead from the beginning of the game, all the way until the 2:42 mark in the second half, before falling to the Zips (15-7, 7-2 MAC), 52-48. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) and Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)) led the offensive attack for Eastern, pouring in 10 points each. Combs was 5-of-10 from the floor, while Harrison knocked down four shots on seven attempts. On the glass, Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Town-ship (Moraine Valley C.C.)) pulled down a team-high eight and Da’Shonte Riley (De-troit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) caromed seven. As a team, the Green and White shot 40 percent (18-of-45) from the floor, while holding Akron to a 32.1 per-cent shooting percentage, including allowing the Zips to hit just three shots on 23 attempts from beyond the arc. Demetrius Treadwell and Nick Harney each recorded double-doubles for the Zips. Treadwell notched 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Harney scored 15, while pulling down 10 boards. Eastern jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead on the back of a Ward layup and a Mike Tal-ley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) triple in the first two minutes of play. After allowing Akron to knock down a corner three with 17:22 to go in the first half, the Eagles took off onto an 8-0 run, giving them their first double-digit lead of the contest at the 12:25 mark. After trading buckets for the next four minutes, Eastern extended its lead out to 13, 25-12, with just over seven minutes remaining in the first half. EMU held that dou-ble-digit lead for the next four minutes, when Akron scored four-straight, to bring it within nine, 27-18, in favor of the Eagles. Neither squad was able to score in the final 3:15 of the half, leaving the score at 27-18 heading into the break. Combs was the offensive catalyst for EMU in the first half, scoring eight of his 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting in the first 20 minutes. Ward added six points, while reeling in five rebounds and both Harrison and Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) contrib-uted five points. Eastern held the Zips to just a 24.1 percent (7-of-29) shooting per-centage in the first half, while limiting them to just one triple on 13 attempts.

EMU Hoops Ends Losing Skid to Kent State, 70-53Eagles defeat the Goldent Flashes for the first time since 1996-97,

breaking a 17-game losing streak

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team broke a losing skid that lasted 17 games defeating Kent State University the first time since the 1996-97 season. The Eagles used a complete game on both sides of the floor to soar past the Golden Flashes, 70-53, Saturday afternoon, Feb. 8, at the Convocation Center. EMU evens its conference mark at 5-5 with the victory while improving to 13-10 overall on the 2013-14 campaign. With the loss, Kent State falls to 12-11, including 3-7 in MAC play. Guards Darrell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood) and Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) each recorded 15 points apiece to pace the Eagles in scoring. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township) also reached double figures with 10 points while grabbing five rebounds. Eastern shot 21-for-47 for the game at a 44.7 percent clip. The Green and White lived at the foul line in the second half, draining 20-27 from the stripe to add to its 69.7 percentage (23-33) for the entire 40 minutes. EMU’s bench outscored the reserves of Kent State, 29-13, and the Eagles dominated the paint, 30-18. Kent State shot 34.6 percent from the field, sinking 18-of-52 buckets. The visitors struggled from three-point land, making only four out of 26 tries. KSU was led in scoring by a pair of Golden Flashes, Darren Goodson and Derek Jackson, who each tallied 11. KSU only out-rebounded the Eagles by one, taking down 34 boards compared to 33. After the Golden Flashes scored the opening basket of the game, EMU countered with a Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent St. Mary) deuce and a three from Lee. Kent State responded with a bucket, but Lee and Harrison continued to provide the offensive spark for the Green and White. Lee drilled a jumper from the elbow, and Harrison provided a tip-in, putting the Eagles up, 9-4. Both teams were hot from the start as KSU converted three of its first four from the field. However, Eastern made five of its first eight shots to remain ahead by five, 11-6, with 15:27 left in the opening half. Kent State cut the margin to one, but Combs kept the Eagles in front with seven- straight points. As the shot clock was winding down, he drilled a step back basket before hitting a three from the wing. Feeling it, the Chicago, Ill. native then took the ball straight to the hoops for the left-handed layup to increase the EMU advantage to eight. Lee added a layup to build the lead to double digits, and Coach Rob Murphy’s squad tightened up on defense, creating problems for the Golden Flashes’ offense. Eastern’s 12-0 run ended as Devareaux Manley hit a jumper just inside the arc. The bucket broke a scoring drought that lasted nearly seven minutes. EMU answered with a trey from Ward, doubling up Kent State on the scoreboard, 28-14. The Golden Flashes added a three-ball of their own, but Combs drained one on the other side of the court to keep the difference at 14. Going into the locker room, the Green and White maintained the double digit advantage, 35-25. EMU shot an impressive 56 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes, sinking 14-of-25. The Eagles made half of its attempted threes and free throws, going 4-of-8 and 3-of-6, respectively. Combs tallied 12 first half points off the bench, and Lee followed with nine points. Eastern found success in the paint, recorded 18 points there while also scoring seven points off eight forced turn-

Eagles Soar Past Cardinals, 73-62, For MAC Road VictoryRaven Lee scored 24 points to help EMU get back over .500 in confer-

ence play

MUnciE, ind. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team led for nearly the entire contest, earning a 73-62 road victory against Ball State University, Feb. 12, at John E. Worthen Arena. The victory propelled the Eagles over the .500 mark in Mid-American Conference play at 6-5 as well an improvement to a 14-10 mark overall. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) recorded 24 points in 25 minutes to lead the Eagles, including a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) added 13 points, finding most of his success at the charity stripe by sinking 7-of-9 free ones. Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)) rounded out the Eagles’ scoring in double figures with 10 points. While he did not score a single point in 28 minutes, EMU center Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) was the focal point of the 2-3 zone all night long, tallying six blocks, five rebounds and three steals. As a team, Eastern shot 22-of-48 (45.8 percent) and converted 25-of-32 from the foul line. The Green and White forced 21 turnovers, leading to 24 points. Ball State (4-18, 1-10 MAC) found four Cardinals reach double figures as Jesse Berry’s 17 points led the way. Zavier Turner recorded 15 along with eight assists while Chirs Bond scored 12. Kindon Crowder notched 10 points off the bench on 4-of-5 shooting. BSU sank 40 percent of its shots (22-of-55), includ-ing 10-of-22 from beyond the arc. The Cardinals controlled the glass, 35-28, but managed just 18 points in the paint compared to 32 for the Eagles. Both teams were successful finding the bottom of the net in their first two possessions. Ball State found an easy bucket down low along with a three, while Eastern got a bucket from Lee and a pair of free throws by Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C)). The EMU de-fense came up with the first stop of the game, and Lee was able to get a layup in transition to give his team its first lead of the game, 7-6. The redshirt-freshman continued his hot start with a jumper in the paint, increasing the EMU advantage to three. While the Cardinals found a couple of deuces, Ward build the Eagles’ lead with a pair of threes. Ward’s eight points and Lee’s six points gave the Green and White the 14-9 cushion with 14:15 remaining in the first half. Coach Rob Murphy’s defense played well right from the start of the contest, forcing BSU to make just four of its first 13 attempts from the floor. Riley was a huge factor in the middle of the 2-3 zone, swatting three blocks in the first eight minutes of the game to grow the Eastern lead to seven. However, the Cardinals cut the difference to two before Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) got to the hoop for a bucket as well as a free throw to make it a five-point game, 21-16. BSU scored seven of the game’s next nine points as a Berry shot from three-point land tied the game at 23. The Eagles cooled down after its hot start where they made five of their first eight shots. Follow-ing 16 points in the first eight minutes, the Green and White managed just nine points in the next eight minutes on 3-of-15 shooting during that span. Nonetheless, Eastern’s defense allowed just two Ball State baskets in the final five minutes. With the game tied at 25, EMU finished the half on a 10-4 run to take a 35-29 lead at the half. Lee led all scorers in the opening half with 13 points. Ward followed with eight and seven points, respectively, while Riley provided the defensive spark with four blocks. EMU’s defense forced 11 turn-overs, turning them into 10 points on the offensive side of the floor. The Eagles shot at a 39.3 percent clip (11-of-28) in the first half, including 3-of-7 from long range. The Green and White found success from the charity stripe, sinking 10-of-12. Ball State controlled the boards in the first half, 21-16, while shooting 13-of-of-32 for 40.6 percent. Berry recorded eight first half points to lead his team in scoring, and Kindon Crowder sank all three of his shots from the field for seven points off the bench.

Men’s Hoops Rockets Past Toledo, 65-44, on Hall of Fame DayWard and Talley score 13 points each as EMU takes down the MAC

West leaders

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team se-cured a victory over Mid-American Conference foe and MAC West leader the University of Toledo, 65-44, diffusing the Rockets on Hall of Fame Day, Feb. 15. With the win, the Eagles improve to 15-10 overall (7-5 MAC), while the Rockets fall to 21-4 (9-3 MAC). The Eagles were led by the duo of Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) and Kar-rington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine CC)), who poured in 13 points each in the win. Ward also came away with eight rebounds, along with Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit,Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)), who tied his career-high in blocks with seven rejections. The leader on the boards was Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)), with a game-high nine rebounds. As a team, the Eagles shot 23-of-53 for a 46.0 percent clip, which is the most efficient offensive output since the team took down Rochester College, Jan. 4, backed by a 59.6 percent success rate. The Green and White also boasted a 75.0 shooting percentage from the charity stripe, as the team hit 15-of-20 free throws. Defensively, the Eagles came away with eight steals and a staggering nine blocks, while forcing an additional six turnovers. The Rockets were held to just 14-of-54 shooting for 25.9 percent, led by the pair of Julius Brown and Jonathan Williams, who also paced their team with 13 points apiece. Toledo was also heavily out-rebounded, as the Eagles picked up their game on the glass in the second half to finish with a 43-30 edge in boards. The 44 points were a team-low for the Rockets, nearly half of their season average of points per game. The Green and White surrendered the first pair of points after Nathan Boothe found J.D. Weather-spoon open in the low post, but quickly retaliated and took the lead after Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) hit a triple from the left side of the arc. A steal from Lee on the next Rocket possession allowed the redshirt-freshman to drive the length of the court for a fastbreak layup, giving the Eagles a 5-2 advantage. While the Eagles’ stingy defense prevented the Toledo wingmen from making a move to the hoop, the Rockets’ perimeter game stepped up as Brown hit a three-pointer to keep the squad on pace with the steady scoring offense of the Green and White.Holding a 10-7 lead coming out of the first timeout, Riley swatted a shot out of the hands of Boothe and into Lee’s possession. The squad was able to take care of the ball on the other end, as Talley nailed a jumper with only a handful of seconds left on the expiring shot clock. The Rockets iced EMU’s offense while expanding their own point count, and took the lead after Williams sank a shot from beyond the arc, flopping the score to 14-12 in favor of Toledo. The matchup remained stagnant on both sides until eight minutes remained in the half, when Lee made a move to the basket to attempt a layup which was salvaged by Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) and converted into a dunk as the Eagles still trailed, 16-14. The squad was able to pull ahead after Harrison hit back-to-back buckets to bring the Eagles up 18-16. Toledo continued to put up numerous shots, but the aggressive defensive rebounding by the Eagles allowed the Green and White to control the pace of the game. As Ward fended off a pair of Rocket defenders in the low post for a pair of points, Toledo Head Coach Tod Kowalzcyk was forced to call a timeout in an effort to rally his players. A pair of free throws allowed the Rockets to catch up to the Eagles at 20 apiece, but Talley and Ward

northern illinois Outlasts EMU in Double Overtime slug Fest

The Green and White fell, 61-59, at the NIU Convocation Center

Dekalb, ill. (EMUEagles.com) — It took two overtime periods for the Eastern Michi-gan University men’s basketball team to complete its contest with Northern Illinois University Thursday, Feb. 20, at the NIU Convocation Center. The Eagles (15-11, 7-6 MAC) ended up on the short end of a 61-59 decision as the Huskies (12-13, 6-7 MAC) halted EMU’s three-game winning streak. It was the first game since March 11, 2010 that Eastern played in a double overtime game. Eastern ended up on the losing end of that contest as well, 97-89, versus the University of Akron. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) led Eastern in the scoring department with 17, while Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Mo-raine Valley C.C.)) poured in 13 and Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) added 10. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) was again the defensive cata-lyst for the Eagles, blocking four shots, while pulling down a team-high 13 rebounds and ripping away two steals. As a team, Eastern shot just 27 percent (17-of-63) on the night, while holding Northern Illinois to just a 29 percent (18-of-62) from the floor. Jordan Threloff led the Huskies with a game-high 27 points and 18 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 forward pulled down nine offensive rebounds. Aaric Armstead added a double-double of his own, knocking down 4-of-11 shots, good for 13 points, while caroming 10 rebounds. The Huskies out-rebounded EMU 63-42. The first half was a sloppily played offensive 20 minutes. Both teams scored just 16 points. The Eagles fell behind by four to start the contest, but tied things up quickly at four. Ward gave EMU its first lead of the game with 13:27 to go, taking a two point advantage. As the half went on, both teams traded mainly free throws as each squad saw field goal deficits of nine minutes or more. After trailing by as many as three, 9-6, with just over six minutes to go, EMU was able to spark a miniature run, knotting things up at 10 apiece. The sloppy play continued as each team traded buckets down the stretch, but a jumper from Lee made it look as though the Green and White would head into the locker room with an advantage, Aaric Armstead followed up a Travon Baker missed triple with a buzzer beating put-back to tie the game at 16 apiece. The offensively challenged first half saw three Eagle score with Lee heading the charge, posting seven. Talley added five, while Ward notched four. Riley recorded three of his four blocks in the opening 20 minutes, while Ward added a rejection, as well as Olalekan Ajayi (Winston-Salem, N.C.-Quality Education Academy (Collin Col-lege)).

Combs Lights Up University Arena in 75-67 Setback to WMUDarell Combs scored 21 points in the loss at Western Michigan

kalaMaZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — It was a foul-plagued contest as the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped a 75-67 decision on the road at University Arena to West-ern Michigan University Sunday, Feb. 23, which saw 55 fouls called. The Eagles (15-12, 7-7 MAC) led the Broncos (18-8, 11-3 MAC) by three in the second half, but were unable to hold on for a win. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) had an outstanding game for EMU posting a team-high 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting. The junior college transfer knocked down three triples and dished out a pair of assists. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) racked up 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting and Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) accumu-lated 10 points, with three assists in the loss. As a team, Eastern shot 39.7 percent (25-of-63), while knocking down 40.9 percent (9-of-22) from the long line. The Eagles struggled at the charity stripe, hitting just eight of their 18 attempts, good for just a 44.4 percent free throw mark. For the Broncos, Shayne Whittington led the way scoring 22 points and caroming a game-high 11 rebounds. The Mid-American Conference’s leading point-scorer, David Brown, added 20 points for Western, while Austin Richie contributed 10 of his own. Brown did most of his work from the charity stripe knocking down 11 free attempts. WMU shot 40.9 percent from the floor, which was the best shooting percentage EMU had allowed since Miami University shot 43.1 percent back on Feb. 1 in Oxford, Ohio. The first 20 minutes of the game was played very sloppily on the offensive end of the floor. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) lifted the lid on the scoring with a three-ball on Eastern’s first offensive possession before Brown knocked down a pair of free throws in the Broncos’ next posses-sion. The Green and White then scored five straight to give EMU a six-point, 8-2, lead, which proved to be EMU’s largest of the game. However, Eastern saw that lead diminish quickly as Western scored six in a row to knot things up at eight points apiece. Both squads seemed content with trading points until the 11:11 mark when Richie cashed in free throws after being fouled on an attempted three-point shot, beginning an 8-0 run that gave Western a 19-13 lead with 10:03 left in the opening frame. The Eagles saw themselves looking at a four to six point deficit through the next six minutes before Western extended its lead to eight, 27-19, when Brown knocked down a triple from the wing. The Eagles cut back into the lead, knocking it down to as low as six, but a three-pointer from Kellen McCormick with eight seconds on the clock put Western up 10. However, with just five seconds on the clock, Combs grabbed the inbounds pass and sprinted the distance of the floor, drawing a foul and cashing in on a pair of free throws to make it an eight point deficit heading into the locker room. Eastern shot just 29.6 percent from the floor in the first half, going just 8-of-27 from the field. Western was not much better, knocking down just eight of their 23 shot attempts. It was the free throw attempts that made the difference in the first half. WMU shot 19 free throws, knocking down 15 of them to hold on to a 34-26 lead after the first 20 minutes of play. Brown notched 12 of the Broncos’ 34 first half points, while Eastern did not have anyone with more than six points in that span. The second half started off strong offensively as each team shot above 80 percent in the first five minutes of play, but EMU saw its hole built to 12 when Richie knocked down a three-ball to make it 46-34. Talley responded with a three of his own, but Whittington hit on a jumper inside the paint to keep a double-digit lead, 48-37, with 15:16 to go. Combs drove the lane and finished a layup on EMU’s next possession which sparked a 15-4 run in favor of the Eagles. During that run, Combs hit on three triple tries, and scored 13 of the points, which led to the first tie game since the first half, 52-52. The Eagles allowed Western to regain a four

Eagles Soar Past Chippewas to Sweep Season Series, 64-42Men’s basketball picks up a decisive 22-point win at the Convocation

Center

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team captured its eighth Mid-American Conference victory of the season with a decisive 64-42 win over in-state rival Central Michigan University, Feb. 26. The Eagles now hold a 16-12 (8-7 MAC) record, while the Chip-pewas fall to 10-17 (3-12 MAC). The Green and White was led by Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine C.C.)) with 18 points and a team-high three steals. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) chipped in an additional 12 points. On the defensive end, Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Coun-try Day (Syracuse)) had eight boards to go with two rejections. As a team, the Eagles shot 22-of-51 for a 43.1 percent clip and had 10 steals in the effort to go with an additional five forced Chippewa miscues. Eastern dominated the paint, 24-8, and the EMU bench tallied 30 points on the evening. The squad showed why it leads the nation in defensive shooting per-centage, holding Central Michigan to a paltry 24.5 percent success rate on 13-of-53 shooting. The Chippewas saw most of their success from three-point range, hitting 8-of-23 shots beyond the arc. Chris Fowler came away with the most points for CMU with a 10-point effort, and John Simons was the leader on the glass with eight rebounds. The Eagles got on the board quickly as Riley rose up to throw a missed three-pointer through the rim within 10 seconds of the tip, but the Chippewas answered back quickly with a successful trey from Braylon Rayson to give CMU its first lead of the game. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) showed his value on the perimeter by hitting two triples in-a-row to flop the score and give the Eagles a more comfortable 8-3 advantage in just over two minutes of play. Central Michigan made efforts to make its way to the basket, but ran into the tall frame of Riley on the inside, who forced two turnovers to put the ball back into the Eagles’ hands. Rayshawn Simmons was able to record the next pair of points for his squad after a five-minute dry spell via a high-arcing jumper on the left baseline to avoid the wide range of Riley’s extensive wingspan. Despite ample movement to open up players on the Chippewa perimeter, the team struggled to convert on any of its shots. A rebound by Ward thrown out to Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne) allowed him to dish out to Bryant for a two-handed slam on the other side of the court to bring the Green and White up 12-5 with 11:07 remaining. A baseline jumper from Bryant increased the lead even further while the Chippewas suffered their fair share of shooting efficiency woes to trail by a considerable margin. John Simons hit just the third field goal of the game for CMU with his first triple of the evening, but the Eagles retained their lead when J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snyder) drove to the hoop for a loopy shot from the middle of the paint, drawing the foul and converting on his free shot. A full-court scramble ended in favor of the Green and White, which opened up Ward beyond the arc to drain a trey and put the squad up 20-10, yet the team surrendered its 10-point edge as Austin Keel hit a long shot for the Chippewas. After Head Coach Rob Murphy called a timeout, Bryant used the stall in momentum to come away with a steal. When Ward just missed a mid-range jumper, Riley found the rebound and converted with an easy shot off the glass. Play remained uneventful for the ensuing two minutes, but Riley was able to fire up the team with a backboard-shaking dunk with seven seconds remaining in the half. A buzzer-beating toss-up from

talley comes Up clutch in comeback victory over the huskies, 56-52

Senior Mike Talley leads Eastern with a career day at the Convo

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team struggled for the middle portion of its matchup against Northern Illinois University, March 1, inside the Convoca-tion Center, but senior Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) drained a game-winning three-pointer with 24 seconds to play as EMU pulled through with a victory over the Huskies, 56-52. The victory marked the first comeback win when EMU trailed with less than five minutes in the game in the 2013-14 season and just the second time the Green and White has pulled out a victory when trailing at the half. Eastern trailed by as many as 13 which was the largest deficit overcome to win this season. With the win, the Eagles now hold a 17-12 record (9-7 MAC), while the Huskies fall to 13-15 (7-9 MAC). Talley tied his career-high of 21 points, going 6-of-18 from the field and a flawless 7-of-7 from the free throw line. The senior also dished out a game-high three assists and snatched a career-high four steals and six rebounds in the victory. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) poured in an additional 11 points and also turned in a perfect performance from the charity stripe, draining six free throws. As a team, the Eagles were 17-of-52 from the field for 32.7 percent. The team excelled on the defen-sive side of the ball, notching 11 steals and eight blocks. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas) led the swat team with a game-high four rejections. The Huskies were held to 37.2 percent shooting, going 16-of 43 from the field. NIU had a great deal of success in free throws, only missing three-of-20 attempts. Aaric Armstead paced the Huskies with 11 points, but was held to just two points in the second half. The Eagles also held the advantage on the boards, out-rebounding the Huskies, 38-28. The squad showed heart right off the bat when a scramble out of the tipoff gave EMU possession. Combs opened up scoring with a triple from the right sideline, which was reciprocated with a three-pointer from Travon Baker on the Huskie side to knot the score, 3-3, in the opening seconds of the contest. Though NIU had its own defensive force in the paint in Jordan Threloff, Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming) made his way past the junior center for a putback shot, which opened up on Talley the perimeter for a three to give the Eagles an early 8-3 edge. The advantage was short-lived when Aaric Armstead single-handedly tied up the contest once again courtesy of a baseline three-pointer to go with a pair of free throws after being fouled on a fast-break layup attempt. The Huskies took their first lead of the afternoon when a layup by Daveon Balls made its way through the rim to give NIU the 10-8 lead with 13:14 remaining. A block from Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine CC)) on Threloff sparked some energy into team, and the Eagles were able to take the lead when Talley sent a lofty shot from the paint over the outstretched arms of NIU’s Pete Rakocevic. A jumper just inside the arc from Ward increased the Eagles’ scoring count before Talley swiped the ball and tore down the court for an easy two to make it a 16-12 game with eight minutes to play in the half. The Huskies tied up the contest once more after Norwegian product Aksel Bolin made a spritely drive to the hoop, but Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day (Syracuse)) hit a turnaround hookshot off the glass to keep the Green and White in control of the scoreboard. Scoring continued to be distributed in a back-and-forth fashion between the two squads, as NIU would find ways to keep pace with the Eagles.

EMU tops Ball state to notch Most Wins since 1997-98 season The Eagles dropped the Cardinals, 72-58, on Senior Night

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team recognized its senior class in style with a 72-58 victory over Ball State University, March 4, in the Class of 2014’s final regular season game in the Convoca-tion Center. The win caps off a regular season sweep of the Cardinals as well as a perfect three-game homestand for the Green and White. Tuesday’s victory marks the third in a row and the most wins in a single season for the Eastern Michigan program since the 1997-98 season. EMU improves to 18-12 (10-7 MAC) on the 2013-14 campaign, while Ball State drops to 5-26 (2-15 MAC) with the setback. The victory secured the Eagles to go into the FirstEnergy Mid-American Conference Tournament at no worse than the sixth seed. Prior to the contest between the two MAC West Division foes, EMU honored six senior Eagles who played their final regular season contest in the Convocation Center: Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)), Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)), Mo Hughley (Queens Village, N.Y.-Martin Van Buren (CSU Bakersfield)), Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) and J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) and Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, MIch.-D.H. Rou-bichaud). Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) and Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) both scored 12 points off the bench to lead the Green and White in scor-ing. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) was the other Eagle in double digits with 10 points. Harrison added nine points while Bryant tallied nine as well along with pulling down a team-high eight rebounds. As a team, the EMU bench outscored Ball State’s bench, 45-2. The Eagles made 26-of-64 from the field for 40.6 percent. Eastern’s defense also forced 18 turnovers that led to 20 points on the other end of the floor. Ball State was led in scoring by Majok Majok, who tallied a double-double with 23 points and 14 rebounds. Chris Bond added 11 points that all came in the first half. The Cardinals shot 36.4 percent as a team on 20-of-55 shooting. They were held in-check from long range, sinking just 3-of-14 three-point attempts. BSU held a two-point lead two minutes into the ball game, but never held the advantage again for the remain-der of the game. EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy sent out five seniors to start the game in Bryant, Harrison, Riley, Sims and Strickland. However, it was Ball State freshman Zavier Turner who scored the first bucket of the contest. Nonetheless, Bryant quickly answered with

Eastern Suffers 77-66 Setback at Toledo in Regular Season Finale

Karrington Ward scores 20 points in the final regular season game of the year

kalaMaZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — After riding a three-game winning streak heading into the regular season finale Saturday, March 8, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was out-shot in an offensive showdown versus the University of Toledo, 77-66. The Eagles (18-13, 10-8 MAC) completed their regular season and will earn the No. 6 seed in the upcoming Mid-Amer-ican Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament presented by Barbasol, while the Rockets (26-5, 14-4 MAC) finished the regular season to take a share of the 2014 MAC Regular Season title and locked up the No. 2 seed, earning a triple-bye into the semifinals of the conference tournament. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) was an offensive force for EMU. The junior went 8-of-14 for 20 points, while going 4-of-5 from downtown. Raven Lee (De-troit, Mich.-Romulus) added 14 points with three triples and Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) went 6-of-6 from the charity stripe on his way to a 12 point, eight assist perfor-mance. As a team, the Green and White shot 41.8 percent (23-of-55), while hitting on 40.9 percent (9-of-22) of its triple tries. The Eagles’ Achilles heel was free throw shooting as they knocked down just 61.1 percent (11-of-18). The Rockets had four student-athletes notch double-digit performances on their Senior Day. Justin Drummond led the way, posting 22 points, while Rian Pearson added a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds in the final regular season contest of his career. Julius Brown and Jona-than Williams also scored in double-figures with 13 and 12 points, respectively. In total, Toledo hit 42.9 percent (27-of-63) of its shot attempts while knocking down 48 percent (12-of-25) from the long line. In addition to the sharp shooting, the Rockets shared the ball well, picking up 22 assists, including seven from both Brown and Drummond. Lee opened the game with a three ball on the Green and White’s first possession to put the Eagles up 3-0 out of the gate. However, the Rockets responded with tree points of their own before Ward knocked down a triple of his out to put EMU back up three. Eastern was content to trade buckets until Toledo scored eight straight to give themself a four-point, 12-8, advantage with 14:02 on the clock. The Eagles flipped the script on Toledo by going on a 10-0 run to pick up a five point lead with just over nine minutes to go in the first half, but the Rockets did not go away, coming back to out-score EMU in the next two minutes and regain another advantage, 22-21. Eastern came back with an 8-2 run, and took its largest lead of the game, 30-24, with just 2:41 on the clock. With just 1:08 to go in the first half, Ward threw down a dunk to give the Eagles a 32-27 lead. However, back-to-back three pointers from Pearson and Brown put UT back on top, 33-32 with 17 seconds to go. Following Brown’s three-ball, EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy was hit with a technical foul and Brown converted on both three ones to put Toledo up 35-32 at the break. The Eagles were unconscious from downtown in the first half, hitting on 6-of-11 three-point at-tempts, good for 54.5 percent. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn)) and Ward contributed eight points apiece, while Lee added six. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) and Talley each chipped in with four. Brown and Pierson were the catalysts for UT in the first half, posting 10 and 13 points, respec-tively. Eastern held Toledo to a 34.5 shooting percentage (10-of-29), but the Rockets knocked down

Eagles Dial in From long range to advance to clevelandEMU downs rival Central Michigan, 72-60, in the first round of the

2014 MAC Tournament Presented by Barbasol

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team found success from beyond the arc, nailing a season-high 12 three-pointers to beat Central Michigan Univer-sity for the third time this season. As the sixth seed in the 2014 Mid-American Conference Tournament Presented by Barbasol, the Eagles took down the No. 11-seeded Chippewas, 72-60, in first round action at the Convocation Center, March 10. EMU (19-13, 10-8 MAC) advance to the second round to be held at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleve-land, Ohio, March 12. Eastern will square off with No. 7-seeded Northern Illinois University at 9 p.m. in the final contest of the day. Central Michigan’s 2013-14 campaign came to a close with a record of 10-21 (3-15 MAC). Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) scored 18 of his team-high 20 points in the final 20 minutes, all from three-point land. Ward’s six threes were a career-best as the junior college transfer shot 6-of-7 from long range in the second half. Daylen Harrison (Akron, Ohio-St. Vincent-St. Mary (Wyoming)) followed with 13 while guards Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) and Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) added 11 points each. The Eagles shot 47.3 percent from the field (26-of-55), including 12-of-28 via the long ball. The 12 converted threes were the third-most in a single game in MAC Tournament history. By forcing 14 turn-overs, Eastern turned those CMU miscues into 24 points. The Green and White also found success down low, mustering 26 points in the paint. EMU controlled the tempo while also outscoring Central in fast-break points, 16-2. John Simons recorded a double-double by leading CMU with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Blake Hib-bitts scored 11, and Austin Keel provided 10 off the bench. The Chippewas sank 21-of-53 attempts for a 39.6 percent clip with half of their successful tries coming by way of the three (10-of-32). Both teams struggled to shoot the basketball out of the gate, but the Eagles used a pair of runs to build a lead. With the game tied at four, the Green and White went on a 7-1 run due in large part to a pair of triples. CMU responded with a three of its own, but Eastern rattled off 10 of the next 14 points to go up nine, 21-12, capped off by an old fashioned three-point play from Talley. The Chippewas answered with seven points in one minute to cut the EMU lead to two, 21-19, with 4:35 remaining in the first half. After a Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood) free throw, Central tied the contest at 22 with a corner triple from Keel, marking the first tie since the 15:35 mark. On the next possession, CMU took the lead with a jumper by Braylon Rayson. However, the lead was short lived as Talley drained a three from the wing to flip the lead back to Eastern. Harrison added a layup down low before a buzzer-beating three from J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) bounced off the back iron as the Eagles took a 27-24 advantage going into the break. EMU out-shot CMU in the first half as both teams attempted 26 shots. Eastern made 11-of-26 for a 42.6 percent clip while the Chippewas shot 34.6 percent from the floor (9-of-26). Each team made three triples with Central sinking 3-of-14 and the Eagles draining 3-of-12. The similar stat line continued with the two in-state rivals each taking three shots from the charity stripe, grabbing 16 rebounds as well as collecting 11 points from their respective benches. CMU made all three while the Green and White was 2-of-3 from the foul line. Combs, Harrison and Talley scored six points each to pace Rob Murphy’s club.

Eastern Uses second half comeback to advance in the Mac tournament

Eagles survive close 53-48 shave in secound round of the 2014 MAC Tournament presented by Barbasol

clEvElanD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Led by its defense, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team overcame an 11-point halftime deficit, outscoring the Northern Illinois University Hus-kies 29-13 in the final 20 minutes of a thrilling 53-48 victory in the second round of the 2014 Mid-Amer-ican Conference Tournament presented by Barbasol, March 12. Trailing by two with just three minutes to go, the Eagles ended the game at Quicken Loans Arena on a 9-2 run due to solid defense and clutch free throw shooting. The victory not only keeps the Eastern alive in the MAC Tournament, but it also marks the 20th win for EMU (20-13) to become the first Eastern Michigan men’s team to accomplish that win total since the 1997-98 Eagles that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The victory was also a historical one for Head Coach Rob Murphy, who collected his 50th career win at the helm of the Green and White. Not only did the Eagles and Huskies square off for the third time this season, but the two squads also matched up for the third straight MAC Tournament. With the comeback win, Eastern will advance to the third round of the tournament for the second consecutive season. EMU will battle the University at Buffalo Bulls at approximately 9 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena, March 13. Three Eagles reached double figures, including two off the bench. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) posted his fourth double-double of the season, recording team highs in points (13) and rebounds (12) in large part due to a perfect 8-for-8 from the charity stripe. Sixth man Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) added 12 while fellow senior J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) recorded 11 off the bench. The Eagles’ bench scored 33 of the team’s 53 points. EMU shot just 13-of-44 from the floor (29.5 percent), but made up for it at the foul line by sinking 24-of-31. The EMU defense held NIU to just three field goals in the second half as the Huskies mustered just 3-of-21 shooting (14.3) in the final 20 minutes. No Huskies reached double figures in scoring on the night. For the game, Northern Illinois shot 31.8 percent from the field (14-of-44) led by nine points from Jordan Threloff and Aaric Armstead. The duo also led their team in rebounds with 10 and nine, respec-tively. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)), the MAC Defensive Player of the Year, picked up his second foul just 2:23 into the game, forcing Coach Murphy to send him to the bench for the remainder of the half. The Eagles found themselves trailing, 8-2, in the first three minutes of the con-test before Ward threw down a thunderous two-hand slam. Following a pair of free throws from Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)), Ward drilled a triple to give Eastern the one-point advantage. However, the 7-0 run ended on the next possession as the Huskies hit a three of their own to lead 11-9 with 15:20 left in the first half. After scoring just two first half points in the opening round game against Central Michigan before rattling off 18 in the second half, Ward got off to a fast start against NIU. The All-MAC Third Team hon-oree scored nine of EMU’s first 11 points. He reached double figures with a pair of free throws at 7:13 in the first half, cutting NIU’s lead to just three. Northern Illinois ended the half on an 11-2 run, holding the Green and White without a field goal for the final 4:45 of the opening half. Going into the locker room, the Eagles trailed by a 35-24 margin. The Eagles shot just 5-of-18 from the floor for a 27.8 percent clip. Half of Eastern’s points came from the charity stripe as the team knocked down 12-of-16, including a perfect 6-of-6 by Ward who led all scorers with 11 while grabbing nine boards to fall just one shy of a double-double in the first half.

Defense leads Men’s hoops to First Mac semifinals since 1997-98

Eastern knocked off the East Division Champion Buffalo Bulls, 69-64

clEvElanD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The No. 6-seeded Eastern Michigan Univer-sity men’s basketball team held Mid-American Conference Player of the Year Javon McCrea to a season-low seven points, and the Eagles knocked down free throws down the stretch to pull away, 69-64, against the No. 3 seed University at Buffalo, March 13, in the third round of the MAC Tournament presented by Barbasol at Quick-en Loans Arena. For the second-straight night, the Eagles overcame a double-digit second half deficit. The victory gives EMU a 21-13 record on the 2013-14 campaign, the most wins in program history since the 1996-97 season when the Eagles won 22 contests. Mean-while, Buffalo’s season comes to an end with a mark of 19-10. The Eagles will advance to the semifinals of the MAC Tournament for the first time since 1997-98, facing off against the No. 2 seeded University of Toledo Rockets. The two MAC West rivals split the season series as each team won on its home floor. Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) paced the Green and White in scoring with 19 points. The junior college transfer shot 7-of-9 from the field, including four from the perimeter. Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) added 12 while being clutch from the charity stripe, going 10-of-12 from the line. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) and Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) both tallied nine as Bryant pulled down seven rebounds, tying for a team-high with Ward. EMU converted 15-of-21 from the line for a 71.4 percent clip while making 23-of-58 (39.7 percent) from the field. Eight of the Eagles’ successful shots came from three-point land as they took 21 total from long range. The EMU bench outscored the bench of Buffalo, 19-2, and Eastern took care of the basketball by only committing six turnovers. While holding McCrea to seven points on 2-of-13 shooting, EMU survived a big night by UB’s Joshua Freelove who scored 26 points, primarily on 8-of-15 shooting from beyond the arc. Will Regan notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, Buffalo shot 35.1 percent (20-of-57), but saw that percentage increase from the further distance (48.1 percent) on 13-of-27 shooting. Both teams missed their first four shots before Ward knocked down a three from the wing for the first points of the ballgame. However, Buffalo responded with a three

Mac tournament run Ends for EMU hoops With 59-44 setback to toledo

Glenn Bryant recorded a team-best 11 points to go along with a career-high six blocks

clEvElanD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team saw its Mid-American Conference Tournament run come to a close in a 59-44 setback to the No. 2 seeded University of Toledo Rockets in a semifinal contest, March 14, at Quicken Loans Arena. De-spite swatting eight shots on the defensive side of the court, the Eagles could not overcome a 32.1 shooting percentage in the loss. While Toledo (27-5) moves on to the conference championship game to face No. 1 seed Western Michigan University, EMU’s regular season ends with a mark of 21-14, the best ledger since the 1996-97 campaign. Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) was the only Eagle in double figures, scoring 11 points while also blocking a career-high six shots. His six swats were one shy of tying the record for blocks in a MAC tournament matchup. Three different players have reached seven blocks; most recently Zeke Marshall notched seven rejections in the Akron versus Kent State matchup on March 15, 2013. Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn College)) added nine off the bench as well. Starting points guard Mike Talley (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) recorded eight points and five assists, while Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) pulled down a team-high nine rebounds. As a team, the Green and White shot 17-of-53 and just 5-of-21 from long range. Toledo was led by three players who reached double digits. Rian Pearson notched 18 points and nine rebounds to fall short of a double-double, while Nathan Boothe scored 13 points. Justin Drum-mond recorded a double-double with 11 points and a game-best 10 rebounds. The Rockets shot at a 41.2 percent clip (21-of-51), but the EMU defense limited them to just 4-of-14 from the perimeter. UT controlled the glass, 43-29, as well as the paint, 24-16. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) began the scoring with a triple two minutes into the contest. Nearly one minute later, Toledo answered with a three to tie the game, but it didn’t last long as Kar-rington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) buried a corner trey to give the lead to the Green and White. Following a pair of UT free throws, Talley knifed through the Toledo defense for an easy deuce, keeping EMU up, 8-5. Combs increased the advantage to four, 15-11, but Toledo rattled off seven straight points to take an 18-15 lead that forced EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy to call timeout. Following another UT bucket, Ward ended the 9-0 run with a jumper from the wing. The Rockets built the lead to as much as eight, but the EMU deficit stood at four, 32-28, at the half after Combs beat the buzzer with a three. The Eagles forced a UT turnover with five seconds left before Combs inbounded the ball to Talley and got the ball back from his teammate to swish the long-range shot. The Eagles had balanced scoring in the first half with three players scoring six points while two others added five to make up all 28 points. EMU shot 45.5 percent from the field (10-of-22), includ-ing 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Along with tying for a team-best six points in the opening 20 min-utes, Talley added four assists. Pearson led the Rockets in scoring by a substantial margin with 15 first-half points on 6-of-8 shooting. No other Rocket recorded more than five points in the opening stanza. UT sank 13-of-28 (46.4 percent) shots and dominated the paint, tallying half of its points down low and outscoring Eastern, 16-4. Trailing by nine early in the second half, Eastern tallied seven straight points: four from Bryant and a three by Combs, to get within two, 38-36. Due to some big rejections by Bryant and Riley, EMU held Toledo without a field goal for nearly seven minutes. However, the Eagles went four minutes without scoring and found themselves behind, 41-38, with 8:27 left in the contest.

yPsilanti, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — In its first postseason contest in 16 years, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team came out victorious over the Norfolk State University 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. With the victory, the Eagles will advance to the second round of the CIT, playing a team yet to be de-termined. The site and date of the game will also be announced at a later date following the complete conclusion of the opening round. 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 (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale ABT (Duquesne)) had a team-high 14 points, including 11 in the first half. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) 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. Malcolm Hawks notched a game-high 16 points in the loss for the Spartans (19-15) as teammate Brandon Goode followed with a dozen. RaShid Gaston grabbed a team-high 12 boards to go along with eight points. NSU etched a 41.7 shooting percentage behind a 20-of-48 performance from the floor. The Spartans made the same amount of three as the Eagles, while shooting one more than the Green and White for a 7-of-18 (38.9 percent) showing. The Eagles got off to a slow start, scoring just six points in the first seven minutes of the contest. Nor-folk State scored six of the first eight points of the game before back-to-back buckets by Lee and Talley tied the game. The Spartans responded with five-straight points before a pair of treys on two-straight possessions made it a one-point game in favor of the visitors. The Green and White took its first lead of the game, 14-13, scoring for the third consecutive possession on two free throws by Darell Combs (Chicago, Ill.-Thornwood (Blinn College)) at the 11:35 mark of the first half. EMU’s run blossomed to 11-2 with a three by senior J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) to make it a four-point game. NSU ended the streak with a three, but Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Town-ship (Moraine Valley C.C.) kept the margin at four with a corner triple of his own. However, that was the only basket Eastern scored in three minutes as the Spartans tied the game at 20, forcing EMU Head Coach Rob Murphy to call timeout. The game continued back-and-forth for the remainder of the first half with both teams taking shots from long range. A Talley three-ball broke the tie, but a late bucket by the Spartans cut the EMU lead to one, 31-30, going into the locker room. Talley led all Eagles in the first half with the team’s best individual shooting performance. The EMU point guard scored 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting, including a perfect 2-of-2 from the perimeter as well as 3-for-3 at the foul line. As a team, the Green and White shot 38.5 percent (10-of-26) from the floor while knocking down 6-of-13 (46.2 percent) from beyond the arc. The Eagles were also a perfect 5-of-5 from the line in the opening 20 minutes.

In the post, Gaston grabbed eight rebounds to help give the Spartans a 22-12 ad-vantage on the boards. NSU made 12-of-29 for a 41.4 shooting percentage that including a 5-of-12 showing from three. The Green and White defense held Norfolk State without a bucket for the first 4:38 of the second half with the help of a pair of blocks at the rim by Harrison.

Eastern’s Postseason Comes to an End After 69-56 Loss at columbia

Raven Lee notched 26 points in the Eagles final game of the year

nEW yOrk, n.y. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball saw its 2013-14 season come to an end Saturday, March 22, when the Eagles (22-15) dropped its second round game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, 69-56, at Columbia University. Columbia (21-12) held EMU to just one field goal in the final 9:10 to stifle the Eagles. Raven Lee (Detroit, Mich.-Romulus) notched the second-most points in his career after putting up 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting, while Glenn Bryant (Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill Academy (Arkansas)) fin-ished his collegiate career with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal, while shooting 5-of-7 from the floor. Senior center Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day (Syracuse)) tied EMU’s single season block record with 96 blocks when he swatted a shot late in the second half. The Green and White shot 40.4 percent on 21-of-52 shooting from the floor, while EMU hit five three pointers. EMU had eight steals in the game. Cory Osetkowski opened the scoring in the first half on a feed from Alex Rosenberg to give Colum-bia the early lead. Eastern evened up the score, but the Lions went on a five-point run before a three-ball from Karrington Ward (Lockport, Ill.-Lockport Township (Moraine Valley C.C.)) made it a two-point, 7-5, deficit for EMU. Isaac Cohen put in a bucket for Columbia, giving the Lions a four-point edge but four straight points from Glenn Bryant knotted things up at nine points each. The Lions spouted off a 13-4 run, taking its largest lead of the first half, 22-13, with 7:27 remaining, but EMU saw a thunderous dunk from Bryant got the Eagles going, as EMU went on an 9-0 run over the next three and a half minutes to even the game at 22 with 3:43 left. Columbia rattled off a pair of triples, giving CU another six-point lead. However, Lee posted six points in a row over the final 1:42 in the half. He knocked down a mid-range jumper with 1:42 on the clock, before throwing down a dunk with 19 seconds left in the half before Mike Talley picked Rosenberg’s pocket and tossed Lee a pass down the floor. Lee drew a foul with just seven-tenths left on the clock and drained a pair of free throws to tie it up at the break, 28-28. Lee poured in 15 points in the first half on 6-of-9 shooting for a 66.7 percent, while Bryant added six points in the first half. The Eagles shot 46.2 percent in the first half, going 12-of-26 from the floor, while Columbia hit 47.6 percent (10-of-21) of its attempts, but the Lions hot three-point shooting kept them in the game, as they shot 50 percent from beyond the arc. Eastern came out in the second half trading buckets with the Lions. However, at the 16:07 mark, EMU took the lead, 35-33, and held on to the edge until the 7:22 mark. Eastern extended its lead to as many as six, 51-45, on a Ward dunk with 9:10 left in the game. With victory in its sights, Eastern went cold from the field as they were held to just one field goal through the final nine minutes and 10 seconds of play. The Eagles saw Columbia go on a 14-0 run through a five minute span, taking an eight point, 59-51, lead with 3:45 left. Lee ended the scoring drought with 3:40 to go and hit a pair of free throws. Columbia finished the game on a 10-3 run, pushing its lead to the final 69-56 mark after dropping six straight free throws down the stretch. The loss marked the end of the 2013-14 season for EMU. The Eagles saw their first 20 win season since 1997-98, as well as the most wins since the 1996-97 season with 22. EMU’s Da’Shonte Riley be-came the first player in Eastern Michigan history to be named the Mid-American Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year, while Karrington Ward earned All-MAC Third Team honors.

FIRST DANCE After recording a fourth-place finish in the Mid-American 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, 95-88, 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 Com-plex 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 1987-88: “FIRST DANCE”



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 chemis-try 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 Champion-ship. 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 cap-ture the nation’s imagination as a true “Cinderella” team. Eastern was able to make it to the NCAA tour-nament 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 came up with two big wins in Syracuse. In the first game, Eastern knocked off No. 5 seed Mississippi 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 the No. 1 seeded Tarheels of North Carolina, turned back a charged-up EMU team, 93-67. Carl Thomas was magnificent against North Carolina, scoring 27 points in 33 minutes to earn a spot on the All-Regional team. On the year, center Kennedy was named MAC 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 Invita-tion 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 memo-rable one with a heartbreaking 86-85 double-overtime 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 neces-sity. 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 elec-tricity Sunday, March 12, 1996, when the EMU squad, along with a huge group of fans and sup-porters, was on hand for the nationally televised NCAA Pairings Show. The packed house of fans roared with excite-ment and anticipation when it was announced that Eastern Michigan and Duke would be op-ponents 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) domi-nated, 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”



A TEAm oF DESTINyHEADS 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 pos-sessed 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 ad-vantage and shut down the Eagles and record an 83-71 win. Dial closed out his brilliant career with a game-high 29 points to go along with eight boards while his backcourt mate, Boykins, was held to 18 points in his final game for the Eagles. Zajac added 10 points for the Eagles.

NCAA 1997-98: “A TEAM OF DESTINY”



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 season 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. Raven 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.

Mid-American Conference



MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCEProviding leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 69th year of service to the student-athlete. 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 ten 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 championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s bas-ketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC champion-ships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s par-ticipation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was recently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowl-ing Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), North-ern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Petersburg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the high-est ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invi-tation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall se-lection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. 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 select-ed as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, mak-ing 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 in-vitation 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 oppo-nents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of new-ly 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 Boca Raton, 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 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 Uni-versity. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robin-son Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The 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 2014, 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. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum

five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the history of the confer-ence. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annu-ally to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tourna-ment since 2004. The MAC had five programs invited to post-season tournaments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan ad-vanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buffalo senior forward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aodhan Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affili-ate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate members over the last two sea-sons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second consecutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Mis-souri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship. A MAC record 43 wrestlers competed at the NCAA Wrestling Cham-pionships and the MAC witnessed nine wrestlers named All-American – Joe Roth, Central Michigan (7th place at 133); Ian Miller, Kent State (4th place at 141); J’Den Cox, Missouri (1st place at 197); Drake Houdashelt, Missouri (5th place at 149); Dylan Peters, Northern Iowa (6th place at 125); Joe Colon, Northern Iowa (3rd place at 133); Joey Lazor, Northern Iowa (6th place at 141); Jeremy Johnson, Ohio (7th place at 285) and Jack Dechow, Old Dominion (4th place at 184). In men’s cross country, Eastern Michigan claimed its 18th conference championship, while Missouri State won its first ever swimming & diving championship as an affiliate mem-ber. In men’s tennis, Ball State won its second MAC title in four years. Akron won its third MAC indoor track and field title in the last four years. Akron sophomore Shawn Barber became the school’s first male individual national champion by win-ning the pole vault. In men’s outdoor track and field, Eastern Michigan won its 22nd conference title in program history and junior Donald Scott garnered First Team All-American honors in the triple jump after taking sixth in the nation. Kent State’s Matthias Tayala became the second MAC track and field student-athlete crowned a national champion this year in the hammer throw during the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The 2014 track and field season was a historic one for the MAC with three national champions across men’s and women’s athletics. Akron’s Shawn Barber was the 2014 NCAA indoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 5.75m, Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m, while Kent State’s Matthias Tayala was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field hammer throw champion with a distance of 73.57m. Kent State won the program’s sixth consecutive and 20th overall conference title in men’s golf and received its 27th NCAA appearance. Kent State senior Taylor Pendrith became just the second player in program history to represent Kent State in the NCAA finals in each of his four seasons, including this year at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. Kent State won its 11th MAC baseball tournament as the No. 3 seed and has won either the regular season or tourna-ment title in 14 of the last 15 seasons. Earlier this summer the MAC witnessed 15 student-athletes selected in the 2014 Major

League Baseball Draft led by Central Michigan starting pitcher Jordan Foley, who became the Chippewas highest draft pick in more than a decade when he was selected in the fifth round by the New York Yankees. Also, Ball State senior outfielder Sean Godfrey (drafted by Atlanta) and Miami senior pitcher Seth Varner (drafted by Cincinnati) were named to the Lou-isville Slugger All-America Third Team as chosen by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. In women’s basketball, Akron won its first ever MAC tournament championship and a program record 23 wins dur-ing the 2013-14 season. A total of five MAC programs were invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Akron; WNIT-Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan; WBI-Eastern Michi-gan). Bowling Green defeated High Point, St. Bonaventure and Michigan in the WNIT before falling to Rutgers in the WNIT Quarterfinals. In women’s soccer, Western Michigan earned the program’s first MAC title in ten years and went on to defeat No. 8 Mar-quette, 1-0, in the NCAA College Cup First-Round before fall-ing to Notre Dame. In volleyball, Ohio claimed its eighth MAC title and fell to Michigan State in the NCAA First Round. Ohio’s Abby Gilleland and Kelly Lamberti, along with Toledo’s Lauren Rafdal, were named Division I All-American Honorable Men-tion. In women’s cross country, Miami claimed the MAC title for the third time in program history, while Ohio’s Juli Accurso won her second consecutive Great Lakes Regional and earned All-America honors at NCAA Regionals. In field hockey, Miami won the program’s second consecu-tive conference title, while the RedHawks program won the conference championship in women’s tennis for the second consecutive year and the fourth time in the last six years. Akron won its first ever MAC swimming & diving champi-onship, while Central Michigan won its fifth consecutive MAC tournament title in gymnastics. In women’s indoor track and field, Kent State won its fourth conference title in the last five years, while the Golden Flashes won the women’s outdoor track and field championship for the fourth consecutive year. Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clear-ing 4.40m. In women’s golf, Kent State won its 16th consecutive con-ference championship. Kent State freshman Wad Phaewchim-plee became the second Golden Flash in history to win a NCAA Regional and was named All-American Honorable Mention by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). In softball, the Ohio Bobcats won their first-ever conference tournament championship and advance to the NCAA tourna-ment for the first time since 1995. Ball State softball senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert was named to the 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association NCAA Division I All-America Second Team. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Ro-ethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), NFL Pro Bowlers (OT Joe Sta-ley, TE Antonio Gates, WR Antonio Brown), British Open win-ner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in producing leaders in the world of athletics.

history of the Mac Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic mea-surements in both football and men’s and women’s basket-ball since moving to Northeast Ohio.

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 jog-ging 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 Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society.

Mission statement Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our history 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.

the city of ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian 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 com-munity 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 work-ers.



Facilities Our 803-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails, and has 128 buildings, the Lake House and Rynearson Stadium located on the south side of Huron River. Eagle Crest – our conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Most recent additions include the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998); the Convocation Center (1998); the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998); the John W. Porter Building, housing the College of Educa-tion (1999); the environmentally sustainable Everett L.

President Susan Martin

Entering her seventh year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facilities and record-setting growth in enrollment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint. Since joining EMU she has led the institution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facilities by making $210 million in capital improvements to the campus. Eastern has been a nationally recognized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past five years, Eastern’s has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities. This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-2011, in which

Eastern was one of a handful of universities around the nation to not increase fees. Additionally, Eastern completed its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. Inspire. The Campaign for Eastern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the summer of 2012 and reached $56 million. The highly successful campaign set the tone for future efforts to benefit Eastern students. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set forth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, comprehensive fundraising

and earning the public’s trust. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of

the master of taxation program, director of international business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and executive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-88. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Information Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is a member of the board of directors of the Michigan Educational Trust as well as Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit organization that seeks to bring businesses to the Ann Arbor area. She is married to Dr. Larry Martin, professor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 16th 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 up-grade 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 dedi-cation 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 five Mid-American Conference Champion-ships. EMU hosted the 2000, 2007 and 2014 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for eight first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, five first-round games for the men’s basketball squad and four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games. The building also played host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the Univer-sity of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and a pair of contests during the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Meanwhile, the EMU men’s basketball team hosted the first round of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the program’s first postseason home game. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted acts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies.

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

Eastern Eagles Fight Song

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU.Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly,the bravest we’ll defy.... Rah,rah, rah!”

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.Sons and daughters show your might.So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

EMU Alma Mater

Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your name we shall be true.Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through,Softly floating on the breeze, verdant green with white of snow,This our banner we will carry in our hearts whe’er we go.

Go Green

Go Green, roll up the score.Go Green, let’s get some more.Raise a cheer for old Green and White.Let’s show them we came here to fight.Go Green, vic’try we’ll claim.Go Green, let’s win this game.We’ll always fight for old EMU.Come on and let’s go Green!

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,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult 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 appropriate-ness 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 Native American 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

NCAA ComplainceFivE rUlEs tO rEMEMBEr

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 student-athlete (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:

• Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or co-signing of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off -campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.

The best way to support EMU student-athletes is by donating to Eagles Pride!

3. lEavE thE rEcrUiting tO Us! You’re passionate about your EMU Athletics programs and you want everyone to know it! But remember, only EMU coaches and athletic department staff members are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters should be aware of the following: • Do not contact a prospective student- athlete (or members of the prospect’s family) by letter, telephone, e-mail, text, online (Facebook, Twitter), or in-person (on- or off-campus) for the purpose of soliciting their participation in EMU’s athletic programs. • Do not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect; • Do not become involved in making arrangements for a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) to receive money or financial aid of any kind;

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

Please note, a prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for Basketball). Students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

If a booster recruits or provides impermissible benefits to a current or prospective student-athlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends), EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of the intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the EMU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefits or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster membership, ticket privileges).

Student-Athlete Support

student-athlete support services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an aca-demic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

athletic training and sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective pre-ventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

sports Performance/strength and conditioning Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifi-cally and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse col-lection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execu-tion before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental tough-ness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vo-cal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.
