WMU loses 62-53, but my goodness Thomas Wilder had a night. 26 points, and really the only thing that kept Western from being blown out.

He was impressive last year...you could tell he had a bright future ahead of them. Everything else on WMU looks pretty blah right now. Seth Dugan looks like he has a long way to go...

The MAC West is 'upside down' after 1 or 2 games so far...

CMU just beat BG (in BG). Toledo and Miami are up next.

Is there a dominant team in the West? I doubt it.

BSU lost today.

So NIU, EMU and Akron are the only undefeated MAC teams in conference...

So by midnight, it will be Akron and EMU (hopefully) alone, undefeated in their divisions...

The women are headed to OT so the men's game will be delayed...

Seems like this happens a lot when we follow the women's game. Ugh.

Yep, the EMU men's game what Jan 23 was moved up a half hour for just this contingency (the women's game is a television game so that time is fixed).

Great. Thanks Women for messing up the starting time of the real game!

Do they have an official start time?

I'm going crazy starring at this "your event is about to begin please stand by" screen!

9:02 EST (8:02 in DeKalb).

9:02 tip.

My bed time is 10:02 EST.

Maybe they're waiting for the Power Ball announcement?

are we starting toney, mangum, lee, price and JT4?

Nazione over Mangum, according to Twitter.

Thompson is such a stud. Maric looks legit as well. Gobbling up all of NIU's air balls.

Great start for both teams. This game is not going to be a snoozer...

JT4 and Maric are playing very, very well...

As advertised with JT4 and Maric looking beastly.

You know you are good when the NIU announcer wonders if Thompson is going to stay all 4 years at EMU. Word is getting out.

I'm getting worried it could be after 1. He looks so good out there!
