The ultimate "rubber match" (as they say in baseball) coming up against toledo !

I couldnt be more proud of this team and what they have done so far... Lets keep the mojo going !

This feels great. Amazing. First time in the semi-finals since 1998, when yours truly was a junior at EMU.

This. So much This.

These kids didn't give up when Buffalo hit three after three after three. They fought back, hit their free throws, and took care of the ball. Oh, and we shut down the best player in the MAC. Just a tremendous game.

2-13 from the field for the MAC offensive player of the year.

K. Ward keeps doin his thing... a tip of the cap for Combs for helping us through a rough stretch...

AND THE BEST PART OF THE GAME.... 4 Seniors on the floor to end the game..... Talk about confidence in your leaders

YES. SIR. I'm fired up.

Combs with a 7 point run.
Harrison with back to back three balls at one point.
I LOVE IT!

Raven and Ward had individual runs too. So many guys contributed tonight. I love it.

They always had the ability all season long now they've added intensity and focus. Despite some disappointing losses its been a great season. Lets continue against Toledo.

True, and as much as fans here like to forget: In the mid-majors it is all about the conference tourneys.

losing sleep or getting bowels in an uproar (as happens here) especially over an OOC loss is silly.

That said, I really wish the MAC would go back to a tourney format where a team needs to win 3 (for the top 4 teams) or 4 games to win the tourney. The current format would be okay for baseball but not for basketball.

IF EMU is fortunate to win the tourney they'll be totally burned out for the NCAAs.

Great win last night fellas. I am enjoying the success that the West is having against the East this year. It's been a long time coming. Hopefully my Broncos can keep the trend going tonight and make it an all West final.

I thought your guards did a great job last night. Ward and Bryant were great as well. Buffalo fell in love with the 3 and you guys made them pay for not attacking the basket. Bottling up McCrea like that is also unbelievable.

EMU continues to be the most dangerous team in the MAC in my opinion.

Thanks, and the big question tonight won't be (our) talent but our legs.

This tourney is more like a marathon than a tourney for a 5 - 12 seed.

EA3 is the one of the best posters on this board and most impartial.
