Yup, figured that'll be the case even before this UM game.

And it ain’t just Bates. EMU has a really good all around squad. They will be huge in the MAC.

Agree that EMU is going to be a tough out in the MAC.

The Consternation Center is a pretty nice arena. We'd be so lucky to have one like it.

We (the fans, Alumni) deserve a new arena. I hope we see it in the next 5 years.

If EMU starts MAC play strong, they're quickly going to be in "anything other than an NCAA appearance is an abject failure"

Hammered by Bradley. Love to see it.

Oakland beats EMU in OT. Good finish - arena was packed. Wish we played more D1 games like that non-conf.

If EMU winds up being the class of the MAC this year, it's going to be a rough year. They're now 1-5 with their only win being a 9 pointer over Wayne State. They've added losses to Fort Wayne and Winthrop since the OU game.

Only game EMU has won is when Bates sat out. Memphis was also better with him on the bench

EMU is 2-9. Emoni is the teams leading scorer and rebounder. Bet he transfers again after this year.

Looks like EMU is 1-9 with Bates playing.
1-0 without him

EMU loses 91-65 to BGSU. A terrible loss. Bates had 36 points.

Thought EMU was going to be decent this season. What happened?

Let me be the first to say that I appear to be an idiot. Anxious to see that team in Kazoo next Tuesday. Something tells me they’ll “get right” at least for that game…unfortunately. Really hope I’m wrong!

Actually Bates had only 15 points, 2-14 shooting with 11-14 free throws

I'm sure NBA teams are just drooling at the possibility of drafting him. /s

Last I saw he’s projected as a very late second round pick.
