After an encouraging first week of conference play EMU had a two double digit loses in the second week. We don't see much of Kevin David Rice, John McGriff, Javantae Randle or Derik Pranger. Injuries perhaps?

Ball State started the season on fire with their non conference schedule but now have lost six games in a row and are 8-8 and 0-4 in conference. Their starting lineup may look like this:

Basheer Jihad 6'9 Jr.
Jalin Anderson 6'3 Jr.
Mickey Pearson Jr. 6'8 Jr.
Davion Bailey 6'4 Jr.
Ben Hendricks 6'10 Jr.

First option off the bench is true freshmen Mason Jones 6'7.

Ohio U seems down this year compared with previous years. They are currently 7-9 and 1-3 in conference after losing to a red hot WMU team. Their starting lineup looks like this:

Elmore (meet me at the crossroads) James 6'3 So.
Shereff Mitchchell 6'1 Gr.
AJ Clayton 6'8 Jr.
Aidan Hadaway 6'8 So.
Jaylin Hunter 6'0 Sr.

AJ Sheldon 6'1 So. seems to be first off the bench.

Everyone have a good week and stay warm.

KDR has got to be hurt. He comes out in sweats, not in uniform. Nor does he do much but walk around. I suspect McGriff is hurt as well. Not on the bench vs Northwood, played sparingly against BG and Kent, MIA again vs CMU and Miami.

Pranger and Randle? If they want playing time, I think D2 might be a better venue.
