I don't think Heath has a new system that will baffle his opponents looks pretty generic to me. In terms of talent Heath has returning talent than Murphy had his first year but better fresh talent.

Heath’s G-league pro-offense that won the Championship was very effective. Whether EMU players can master it remains to be seen. Coaches let players know about their mistakes.

He has Farrakhan and Scott that will be difficult to stop from scoring at the rim. EMU’s goal should be to shoot 50 percent plus on two’s, and be one of the top MAC teams in taking foul shots. Believe EMU will do just fine hitting three’s.

EMU on defense needs to average 8-plus steals per game, and EMU must keep conference opponents to shooting less than 44 percent on two’s.
