Game Day: @BG
Vegas says EMU is a one point favorite this afternoon.

Both MIA and Kent lost yesterday so EMU can tie for 5th with a win (and we hold tie-breakers over both MIA and Kent).

Man, I hope this is a 2nd half schedule run.

RE: Game Day: @BG
Vegas now says EMU by 2 and total points = 138. Basically equates to a 70 - 68 type game.

I'd be surprised if we give up 68 points. BG has injuries and might not be the same team we faced last month.

Started hot but got a bit sloppy. Jackson with 3 fouls, so don't expect to see him again until the second half. Thompson isn't getting any help from the refs, and bg's big men are chippy. Hope he doesn't get T'ed up.

We miss Jackson, but as Chad says, Ellison brings a lot on defense with his on the ball defense.

Elijah Minnie is good. I love when he attacks the basket off a pump fake. Very difficult to guard.

Playing some great D. BG keeps trying to work it inside to Wiggins, but we are shutting that down. Let them keep jacking up contested threes

Dominant half. Awesome alley oop from Ellison to Groce to end it. We are thoroughly outclassing them, but we've all seen leads like this evaporate. Need to keep our foot on the gas in the second half.

Impressive stuff from Ellison with Jackson on the bench. I think he's almost TOO unselfish at times, as I think he had a couple easy layups that he passed off on, but he has a knack for finding open guys. I bet his teammates love playing with him.

We're playing like UB but shooting FTs like the Chips. 03-lmfao

BTW, I love the Stroh Center. It is the perfect 21st century MAC basketball arena.

It should be a 'pit' like Bowen was, but we really took the crowd out of the game early.

Jalen King's minutes will make a huge difference later, JTIV rested and out of foul trouble, and still running up score.

RE: Game Day: @BG
This is starting to look like a team that is figuring out how to play with each other on both ends of the floor. Again I maintain the key to the success of this team is just to buckle down on the defensive end and everything else could fall into place. I still maintain that when you have a team with the amount of transfers that we have had it takes actually game time to develop that chemistry.

Now we need to put the pedal down and don’t give BG any hope to get back into this game.

Indeed. Both JT4 and Jackson got a nice rest in the 1st half.

What's amazing is that we're seeing a lot of MAC coaches who have seen the EMU zone many times, but they are struggling badly to handle it.

Thinking of Kent, BSU, BG, etc.

Time out now. They have made the half time adjustment, time to collapse the zone some.

Could somebody check the right side rim?

Danger time. Their two shooters are getting hot and our offense has become stagnant. Keep feeding Minnie and Thompson in the post

Indeed Sam. Their two bombers are shorter and not terribly mobile. We need to go the basket.

Might want to put Minnie back in. Jackson has been brutal in the 2nd half. We sadly played better with him on the bench.
