Just in case folks decide to divert their attention from EMU hoops to say football and the big games today and tomorrow...
It seems there are a lot of 'giant killers' this year (Felder is getting national acclaim) and N. Florida's Trent Mackey is getting his acclaim:
"And Mackey, who’s shooting a whopping 52.4 percent from downtown, has hit as many treys as 17 entire D-1 rosters. "
So without looking further, maybe N. Florida and UDM will be very similar opponents: three ball shooting teams... (EDIT: YES!! 199 made three point shots).
Looking at the numbers in some detail, he has made 63 FGs, but 56 have been behind the arc. Designated bomber? Make 1/2 2-point FG per game.

I looked a little further. N. Fl has made 199 3 point shoots. EMU 57. (Yes, I guess that means that all of the frustration in these threads on 3-point shooting is very true. Mackey has approximately as many made 3s as EMU).
Beau Beach is a 6' 8" bomber too...
Looks like our wing players better play some defense or else the threes will be falling Saturday at the Convo.
Bonus thought: Does an Osprey look a lot like an EMU? Too bad we can't have an osprey and EMU from a zoo at the game... Lol.
Bonus thought2: Maybe after the game Trent Mackey goes to the St. Joes for a blood sample to see if his DNA matches Brad Soucie. Why? Both could bomb the trey but I doubt either could jump over a telephone directory... Lol.
