Should be interesting. CMU has turned their season around, presumably due to the health and play of Chris Fowler.

For those who like statistics, esp. CONFERENCE statistics, which are comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges... EMU is #1 in scoring and the Chips of Mt. Pleasant #2.

This game has the real potential to be say 85 - 80...

For fans of basketball (win or lose) we are about to see some really fine players in the next couple weeks: We saw Bearden (Sat), Fowler (Tues), Hall (Sat), Ohio's Campbell (Tues), Boothe (Sat), etc. There are nice PGs and Centers in this conference this year.

Unless EMU shoots light out again it'll be a win for CMU.

For those interested in what Vegas thinks, they have CMU a 1.5 point favorite.

Apparently the line opened at CMU by 2.5 but closed.

Total points are around 155, which is kind of like a 78 - 77 thriller... (get your pop corn ready).

BTW, maybe Vegas is looking at data we don't bother to look it:

CMU is 11 - 1 at home this year (the one loss came to us)

But they are only 2 - 9 on the road.

Based on that, is CMU a lock????

Emu is a 1 point favorite.

I just saw that EMU is also favored (1.5 points) in USA Today.

Time to book conference win #4.

Enjoy the N.H. primaries tonight.

I don't watch those things it's just political theater. I'll take your money though, i thought they would at least go 500 not anymore Murphy is going to burn out Thompson.

This Game had me worried.

I am guessing CMU shoots better today, we do not shoot lights out, Lee plays only 5 minutes in the second half, and we stay in a zone trailing by a few points.....

CMU 83
EMU 81

All the remaining games have me worried...

We are now a 1.5 points under dog.

That sounds fair. Apparently people have figured out our team is a little underachieving and don't expect much. It would be nice to knock off the chips twice in a year though.

EMU 83 CMU 76.

What?!?! Remaking schedule is much easier than what preceded. Not saying EMU will take advantage. But they played most their previous games pretty close, so it is a strong posibility.

That would be nice. What scares me is CMU is going to really be fighting hard to avenge the embarrassment they received on their own court by EMU.

Amazing: Murphy (pre-game show) calls Toney the most consistent player on the team, critical player, etc. etc.

Yet he gets no love on this forum from many posters. (some posters are very positive about Toney).

Huge disconnect between Murphy and posters here.

Why do we only have 1 bound play for under the hoop. We literally run the same double screen curl every time. Leads to a 5 second call today.

I had 4 inbound plays when I was in middle school!

He has been very consistent in MAC play. Extremely inconsistent in non conference play. Some might be holding onto the first in perception- justifiably so in many ways.
