They are 2-2 and play Kentucky tonight (ESPN3) and then get Robert Morris before playing EMU. Tonight's game could be ugly if Kentucky comes to play (KY came to play against Robert Morris and avenged their upset last year in the NIT).
UT-Arlington lost to Cle State by 10.

I looked up some info on them from Blue Ribbon yearbook.
They were a pretty good Sun Belt team last season but had significant graduation losses.
They have very little up front. Ward, Bryant, Riley, Harrison, etc should have fun.
More thoughts later.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE HISTORY ON HOW WE GOT INVOLVED WITH wARD? aNY RECRUITING DETAILS ON HOW WE FOUND HIM AND VISA VERSA?
WHAT A CATCH!
Is there a reason they scheduled a basketball game on the same day (though later in the day) as a football game? Is there any ticket deals where you can get into both or would I have to buy separate tickets?

He isn't screaming but I don't know why Dennis has his cap locks on all the time...
We're the #1 team in the Nation when it comes to blocked shots.
Da'Shonte Riley is #2 in the Nation individually.
Wisconsin Green Bay is currently #3 in Nation when it comes to blocked shots. The Eastern vs. Green Bay game should be a fun game to watch. What do you think? I say we win by 4.
Green Bay is predicted to win Cleveland State's league (CSU was picked 3rd), so they are pretty solid. Riley vs Alec Brown might be the tallest matchup of the year haha...two 7 footers. That and the UMass game are gonna be toughies...glad they're at home.
Eastern should of beat Cleveland State by 20. Great second half......When Eastern plays that way the whole game watch out....
Robert Morris beat UT Arlington 88-81 last night. That makes UTA 0-3 in the Keightley Classic thus far.

And the VCU coach, who is 'Smart' (pun intended), calls 5' 9" (really, 5' 9"?), Chaz Williams the best player in the A-10.
He and Mike Talley are apparently clones of each other in size and style of game but Williams is probably the much better player, no knock on Talley.
That should be fun to watch.
guess the crowd for tomorrow night's game:
I'll guess: 1,007
I took 825 for a Monday night game and subtracted 60 (?) CLE State fans + 242 fans coming out because it is a Saturday evening.
The crowd for tomorrow will be 974.
Still kind of OT (actually premature) but UMass is looking really good. Beat nationally ranked New Mexico by a lot.
Eastern Michigan wins by 11.
Yeah we should win this one comfortably. I'd still like to see us put a complete game together. Need to start better.
Hopefully Mike Talley plays tonight. He said on twitter that he's been in a boot all week, but will try to give it a go. Ross and Combs will have to step up should he not play. Combs, especially, has been forcing things. He has to let the game come to him.
Overall, I think there will be too much Ward and Bryant. Our zone will force them into bad shots, and we'll pull away in the second half.
EMU 76
UTA 63
It's possible that the BB team will allow fewer points than FB today.

58 is well within range for the defense.
EMU is an 8 point favorite in Vegas.
Anyone else having trouble with video?
