Highlighting the four-game non-league home slate will be the appear-ance of the Michi-gan State University Spartans, Nov. 27. And speaking of home, the Eagles will be playing on a new court with a new design for 2011-12. While working on all of the above is-sues, recruiting became a top priority for Murphy and assistant coaches Mike Brown, Kevin Mondro and Benny White and they came up with one im-mediate player answer and three future pieces to the puzzle. The one recruit that will pay immedi-ate dividends is junior-college transfer guard Austin Harper (6-2, 185, Jr.-So.-Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-WMU-glen Oaks c.c.). Originally a Western Michigan Univer-

sity recruit out of high school, Harper redshirted for the Bron-cos before moving on to Glen Oaks last year where he led the junior-college ranks in as-sists with 9.9 per game to help lead the team to an 18-11 re-cord in 2010-11. He averaged 15.4 points, second-best on the team, and connected on 29-of-67 three-point attempts for 43 percent...Shot 76 percent from the line, making 57-of-75 shots, and made 173-of-311 field goals for 56 percent. The three future recruits all en-joyed outstanding high school careers and began their careers with major-college teams. All three: center Da’shonte Riley (7-0, 233, Jr.-Jr.-Detroit, Mich.-country Day-syracuse University), and forwards Glenn Bryant (6-7, 195, Jr.-Jr.-Detroit, Mich.-Oak Hill academy-University of ar-kansas) and Daylen harrison (6-6, 220, Jr.-Jr.-Akron, Ohio-

st. vincent/st. Mary’s-University of Wyoming) will have to sit out 2011-12 before becoming eligible for the 2012-13 season. While the addition of those three trans-fers is a year away, Murphy is counting on Harper joining eight returning letter-men to give the Eagles a bright future, starting with the 2011-12 campaign. Leading the returners are three start-ers: guard Derek Thompson (6-3, 180, Jr.-Jr.-Detroit,Mich.-Melvindale-sEMO), guard Antonio Green (6-3, 190, Sr.-Sr.-Inkster-Dearborn Heights robichaud) and forward Jamell harris (6-9, 215, Jr.-Jr.-Euclid, Ohio-Euclid). Thompson lettered in his first year on the team after playing as a true freshman at Southeast Missouri State University in 2009-10, becoming eligible to play for the Eagles after the first two games of the 2010-11 season. He finished sec-ond on the team in scoring at 9.4 ppg and his 69 three-point field goals ranked first on the team and third in the Mid-American Conference at 2.38 made per game. Thompson also paced the Eagles in three-point percentage, making 36.5 percent from beyond the arc. Green has been one of the most steady performers for the Green and White over the past three seasons. He played in all 31 games last year and finished with a 5.4 scoring average with a 2.7 rebound mark. He was second on the team in three-point field goals made, hitting 38-of-113 for 33.6 percent. Harris played in all 31 games and led the team in blocked shots with 72, good

The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team will have a new look on the bench, on the roster and on the actual playing court as preparation begins for the 2011-12 season. rob Murphy was announced as EMU’s new Head Coach, April 21, 2011, and life has been a whirlwind since that date. Murphy had to quickly build a staff, hit the recruiting trail and take care of myriad administrative duties to get his new program locked, loaded and ready for the 2011-12 campaign. One of the major challenges facing Murphy was building a schedule that included a large number of road games left over from returns owed to teams that played at EMU in 2010-11. And what resulted from those con-tracts is the fact that the 2011-12 Ea-gles will have to play a whopping 11 non-conference games on the road to go along with the customary nine Mid-American Conference tilts in enemy territory for a total of 20 contests away from the friendly confines of the Con-vocation Center.

off the bench, turning in the most pro-ductive year of his career, finishing with a 3.0 scoring average and a 2.5 rebound mark. Redshirt sophomore guard J.r. sims (6-3, 180, Jr.-So.-Fort Wayne, Ind.-snider) was a pleasant surprise last year, starting 11 times as a point guard and finishing his first year of play with a 3.4 scoring average. Joining the eight returning lettermen and Harper will be Adrian College trans-fer Anthony Strickland (6-5, 210, Jr.-So.-Ypsilanti,Mich.-Dearborn Heights robichaud-adrian). Strickland prac-ticed with the team in 2010-11 and will be eligible to play in 2011-12. The 2011-12 Eagles will have to re-place two starters lost to graduation. Forward Brandon Bowdry was a sec-ond-team All-MAC selection last year after leading the league in rebounding at 9.5 and finishing second in scoring at 19.9 points. Jay Higgins also gradu-ated after averaging 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Junior big man, Matt Balkema (6-10, 285, Jr.-Jr.-Warren, Mich.-Cousino), battled injuries last year that hurt his ef-fectiveness inside, but he still managed to play in 18 games, averaging 2.9 points and 1.7 rebounds. Senior point guard Darrell lampley (5-10, 170, Sr.-Sr.-Linden, N.J.-Linden-lakeland c.c.) played in all 31 games last year after transferring from Lakeland (Ohio) Community College.

HEAD COACH ROB MURPHY

Murphy was a two-year starter on the basketball team and the team’s Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. After graduating from Central State, Murphy returned to his hometown of Detroit to begin his coaching career at Detroit Central High School as the associate head coach in 1996-98. Central won the state Class A championship in 1997-98 after finishing runner-up in 1996-97. Murphy then moved over to become the head boys basketball coach at Crockett H.S. and after his first team posted a 5-13 mark, the Rockets improved to win three consecutive Class B District titles and captured the state championship in 2000-01. His Crockett teams had a 64-27 record and he was named All-Metro Coach of the Year by the Detroit Free Press in 2000-01. From Crockett, Murphy joined the Kent State University staff for two seasons, 2002-03 and 2003-04, and the teams turned in back-to-back 22-9 seasons on the way to two Mid-American Conference East Division crowns. Both teams were invited to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). After that successful two-year stint as an as-sistant for the Golden

Flashes, Murphy joined Head Coach Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse University men’s basketball program as an assistant. During his seven years on the staff, the Orange recorded a 180-67 overall record and played in the post season every year, with five NCAA appearances and two NIT stops. A native of Detroit, Murphy at-tended Mumford High School where he graduated in 1991 after lettering in both football and bas-ketball, earning All-State honors in football. He and his wife. TeNesha, have one son, Robert II (4) and a daugh-ter, Ryann (1).

Rob Murphy is in his first year as head coach of the Eastern Michi-gan University men’s basketball program. “We are excited about having Rob Murphy leading our men’s basketball program into the future,” EMU Director of Athletics Dr. Der-rick Gragg said April 21, 2011, at a press conference to announce the hiring. “Coach Murphy has been on the staff of two outstanding college basketball programs and was also a highly successful high school head coach in Detroit, lead-ing Crockett to the Class B State Championship in 2000-01 and was the associate head coach on the staff of the Detroit Central High School team that won the Class A state title in 1997-98. We feel that his experience with outstanding teams has prepared him for this opportunity.” Murphy is familiar with the state of Michigan after spending six years coaching in the Detroit Public School League (1996-2002), three as the head boys basketball coach at Detroit Crockett Technical High School.

CAA) title while posting a 23-10 re-cord. For his efforts, was named the MCCAA Coach of the Year. All five sophomores on that Schoolcraft team signed with NCAA-Division I schools. Brown began his coaching career at nearby Belleville High School as an assistant boy’s basketball coach, helping lead the Tigers to a 21-2 record and the MEGA Red Division championship in 2004-05. From Belleville, Brown joined the Schoolcraft C.C. program as an as-sistant men’s basketball coach in 2005-06 and helped that team to a 23-5 record before taking over as the head coach the next season. Brown left Schoolcraft to join the Kent State University men’s basketball program as the direc-tor of basketball operations in 2007-08. In that season KSU won the Mid-American Conference regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Four players earned all-MAC honors and one was an All-American. The Golden Flashes were also ranked in the Associated Press and ESPN Coaches’ polls dur-ing the season. After that one season at Kent State, Brown was named the head coach at Motlow and following that one year, moved on to the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Ala. where he was an as-sistant men’s basketball coach and recruiting coordinator from 2009 through the 2011 season. As an intercollegiate basketball player, Brown earned four var-

sity letters at Siena Heights (Mich.) University (1998-2000) and Wayne State (Mich.) University (2000-02). Siena Heights posted a 58-15 mark in his two seasons with two trips to the NAIA National Tournament, including a national semifinals appearance and two conference titles. As a sophomore he led the team in scoring, assists, and steals, was a third team All-American and first team all-conference and was named to the all-defensive team and all-academic teams. He played his final two seasons at Wayne State, earning all-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Con-ference honors as a junior after leading the team in scoring, as-sists and steals. Brown was named the preseason player of the year in 2001 but played in only seven games after suffering a season-ending injury. While a high school player at Ann Arbor’s Huron H.S., Brown was a sixth-team All-Stater and first-team All-Area player as a senior in 1996-97. Brown earned both his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree at Wayne State University, complet-ing his B.A. in business in 2002 and his M.A. in sport management in 2004.

A native of Dover, New Hamp-shire, Mondro grew up in Brown-stown, Michigan and graduated from Riverview Gabriel Richard High School in 1993 after earning All-Catholic League honors as a basketball player.

EAGLES CRUISE TO EXHIBITION VICTORYSeven Eagles in double figures in win

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —The Eastern Michigan University men’s basket-ball team made the most of its only preseason exhibition game of the year cruising to a 100-56 win over a visiting Marygrove College team here Saturday, Nov. 6, afternoon in the Convocation Center. Head Coach charles E. ramsey’s Eagles combined a stingy defense with some deadly shooting in their lone exhibition outing. Eastern is slated to open the regular season Friday, Nov. 12, at Michigan State. The Eagles had seven players in double figures with sophomore center Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) turning in a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds while senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) added 16 points and eight rebounds. Other EMU players in double figures were senior wing Will Cooper (Detroit, Mich.-Pershing-Bridgton Academy) with 15, sophomore forward Kenny Stewart (Williamsport, Pa.-Notre Dame-Weatherford C.C.) with 14, junior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) with 13, senior forward Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, N.C.-IMG-Hillsborough C.C.) with 11 and junior guard antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added 10. The Eagles made 37-of-65 field goals for 56.9 percent while holding Marygrove to just 32.8 percent on 22-of-67 shooting. Eastern also won the rebound battle, 47-32, and forced 24 turnovers. Marygrove was paced by senior forward Justin McKinney with 13 points while junior guard Chris Sinagoga added 10. Marygrove opened the game with a quick 2-0 lead on a lay up by Marcus Hopkins and after trading baskets for the first four minutes the Eagles took control with a 12-8 lead at the 15:53 mark on a three-point field goal by Green. Eastern managed to quickly raise its lead to 11 points, 30-19, on a jumper by Lampley with 8:41 left in the first half. The EMU defense would then take center stage, holding Marygrove scoreless over the final 7:38 of the first stanza while building its advantage to 31, 52-21, at halftime. Eastern would force 16 first-half turnovers by the Mustangs. Marygrove made just 9-of-26 field goals for 34.6 percent in the first 20 minutes. Eastern would keep that defensive pressure on in the early stages of the second half, scoring five unanswered points for a 57-21 lead before Michael Jackson stopped the bleeding with a jumper at the 17:30 mark. The Eagles would go on to build a 40+ lead before recording the 100-56 win.

EAGLES FALL TO NO. 2 RANKED SPARTANSBrandon Bowdry scores career-high 32 in loss

EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Michigan State University built an early lead and Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team could not make up the difference in a 96-66 loss to the No. 2 ranked Spartans here Friday, Nov.12, in men’s basketball action before a sold-out crowd of 14,797 in the Breslin Center. The game was the 2010-11 season opener for both squads. The Spartans led at the half, 49-33, and out-scored the Eagles, 47-33, over the final 20 minutes to post the victory. Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) led the Eagles with a career-best 32 points, including making a career-high five three-point field goals and tying his career-best for rebounds with 15. The double-double was Bowdry’s 24th of his career. Junior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) was the only other Eagle in double figures with 12 points. Michigan State had six players in double figures, led by Kalin Lucas with 18, while Durrell Summers added 17, Keith Appling 14, Draymond Green 12, and Adreian Payne and Austin Thornton added 10 each. The two teams traded buckets through the first three minutes before Bowdry got EMU back within one, 7-6, on a three-point field goal at the 18:46 mark. MSU would use some timely shooting and a few big EMU misses to slowly build a double-digit lead, making it 31-15, at the 9:32 mark on two Lucas free throws. The Eagles would not give in, however, and managed to get it back to a 13-point deficit, 46-33, on a basket by Bowdry with 1:12 left in the half. State would go on to close out the first 20 minutes with a 49-33 lead. Bowdry led the Eagles in the first half with 16 points while Lucas had 15. The Eagles shot 32.5 percent from the field in the first half, making just 13-of-40 shots while MSU made 17-of-31 for 54.8 percent. Bowdry opened the second half by hitting the second of two free throws, but State would answer with a long triple from Summers. Bowdry came right back with a three of his own to cut the lead to 52-37 at the 18:22 mark. Michigan State would go to the long ball in the second half, making four triples in the first eight minutes to build a 73-45 lead with 11:35 remaining and kept a comfortable lead the rest of the way.

EAGLES EVEN RECORD WITH WIN OVER MADONNASophomore Jamell Harris sets Convo block record

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team jumped out to an early lead and survived a late-game scoring drought to record a 79-70 win over a visiting Madonna University team here Wednesday, Nov. 17, in the Convocation Center in a noon start for a local “Education Day” game. With more than 2,000 raucous local elementary and middle school students cheering on the Eagles in the game as special guests of the University , the crowd helped the Eagles, now 1-1 on the season, build a 45-27 halftime lead and a 15-point advantage, 66-51, with 9:10 left in the game. The Eagles went almost four minutes without a score in the late stages of the second half to let Madonna back into the contest. Eastern’s offense finally came alive in the final three minutes to help the Green and White preserve the win. EMU sophomore forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) turned in the first double-double of his career with 15 points and 13 rebounds to go along with seven blocks. Those seven blocks breaks the Convocation Center record of six held by three oppos-ing players, Marshall’s LaVar Carter (11-30-04), IPFW’s Davis Simon (2-6-05) and Northern Illinois player James Hughes (10-9-07). The seven blocks also ties the EMU record for the second-most single-game blocks with Brian Nolan, versus Stetson(12-9-89) and two by theron Wilson, vs. Toledo (2-13-93) and Kent State (1-20-93). Junior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added 17 and junior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) chipped in 11. Madonna, now 1-3 on the year, was led by senior guard Bryant Slaughter who led all scorers with 22 points, while Kevin Henry added 13 and Bobby Naubert 10. EMU shot just 37.8 from the field (28-of-74) and 36.8 from three-point range (7-of-19) while holding Madonna to 38.5 from the field (25-of-65). Eastern held a slim, 47-44, rebound edge. Adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee C.C.) scored on a three-point shot with 38 seconds left in the first half and added a long two at the buzzer to give EMU a 44-27 halftime lead. The visitors would take advantage of a second-half scoring slump by the Eagles that saw the home squad go almost four minutes without scoring from the 7:04 mark to 3:29, as Madonna pulled within six, 72-66, with 2:17 remaining. The Eagles responded with some big stops and crucial scoring down the stretch to preserve the victory. Eastern will now hit the road for Buffalo, N.Y. Saturday, Nov. 20, and a 2 p.m. date with Canisius.

EMU DROPS NON-LEAGUE ROAD TILT AT CANISIUSEagles now 1-2 on the year

BUFFALO, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell 71-51 to the Canisius Golden Griffins here, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 20, at the Koessler Athletic Center. With the loss, EMU drops to 1-2 on the young season while Canisius moves to 2-1. After gaining an early 6-2 advantage, the Griffs used a 13-5 run to push ahead, 19-7, half way through the first stanza. Eastern Michigan would cut the lead to seven, 22-15, after a Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, NC-IMG Academy Hillsborough (Fla.) C.C.) three pointer, but the comeback effort was not helped with senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) sidelined for the final 13 minutes of the half after picking up his second personal foul. In the second half, Bowdry started the Eagles’ scoring with a turnaround jumper in the paint to trim the lead to 12, 36-24, but the Griffs answered, posting a 12-5 run to swell the lead to 19, 48-29. In the midst of that run, a scuffle ensued near Canisius’ bench when junior point guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) chased down a loose ball. After landing in front of the home bench, Lampley and a player on Canisius’ bench became entangled and players from each team rushed to the scene. As a result, adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee (Ill.) C.C.) and Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman- Sheridan (Wyo.) J.C.) were each ejected from the contest for coming on to the court during the altercation—neither player was involved in the incident—while Canisius’ bench was assessed a technical foul. The skirmish seemed to inflate the Golden Griffins while at the same time deflating the Eagles. The very next play was a three-point field goal by Gaby Belardo, and the Eagles were unable to respond, missing baskets on their next four trips down the floor, and ultimately coming up short, 71-51. Bowdry led the team with 13 points and also nabbed six rebounds, Lampley added 10 points and five boards, while Cooper finished with 7 points and six caroms. The Griffs had four players in double figures, with Vazquez-Simmons and Robert Goldsberry leading the way with 14 each. For the game, Eastern shot 33 percent (17-of-51) compared to 38 percent (21-of-56) for Canisius. The home team also won the rebound battle, 44 to 34.

EaglEs Fall tO JaMEs MaDisOn On thE rOaDDukes hit 31-of-39 free throws in 74-68 win

HARRISONBURG, Va. (EMUEagles.com) – On a night where senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) posted 22 points and 13 rebounds, and newcomer guards Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) and Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State) com-bined to score 28 points, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team came up just short, 74-68, on the road against James Madison University here Saturday night, Nov. 27, at the JMU Convocation Center. With the loss, Eastern drops to 1-3 on the season while James Madison moves to 5-1. The Eagles outplayed the Dukes in most facets of the game, out-rebounding the home team 41 to 39 and out-shooting the home team 42.2 percent to 37.5 percent overall, and 35 percent compared to 8.3 percent from beyond the arc for the Dukes. But the story of the game was the free throw disparity. James Madison went 31-of-39 from the line, while the Eagles reached the charity stripe just 11 times, connecting on seven of them. EMU got off to a fast start, jumping ahead 7-2 and holding the Dukes to just one made field goal through the first 5:53 minutes of the game. The Dukes would counter that fast start and respond by knotting the score, 7-7, after an Eastern turnover. JMU would go on to take a 24-23 halftime lead. In the second half, the teams began the seesaw battle that would last until the final seconds of the game. While Eastern never led after taking a 34-33 advantage off of a Balkema lay up, the game was never more than three possessions away from the road team. An intense battle ensued on both ends of the court as Bowdry immediately went to work for the Eagles and forward Rayshawn Goins did the same for the Dukes. Goins would score 14 of JMU’s first 16 points in the second half en route to 22 points in that half alone. Bowdry scored 14 of his team-high total after intermission as well. Balkema also added some offensive firepower, scoring eight points in the first four minutes of the second. Despite their best efforts, the Eagles could not reclaim the lead and fell behind by seven, 55-48, after Humpty Hutchins hit the Dukes’ lone three pointer of the game with 8:33 remaining. Eastern closed the gap to two points on three different occasions after that make, including pulling the contest to 70-68 with 21 seconds remaining, but could not avoid putting James Madison on the line where they converted time and time again.

EaglEs OPEn tOUrnEy With hEartBrEaking sEtBack Monmouth rallies in the final seconds for win

MOSCOW, Idaho (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped a 64-63 heartbreaker in the opening game of the Basketball Traveler’s Classic to the Monmouth University Hawks here in War Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of the University of Idaho Friday, Dec. 3. With the loss, EMU drops to 1-4 on the season while Monmouth moves to 2-3. Despite leading for much of the second half, and a 28-point , 12-rebound night by se-nior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) the Eagles were unable to defend a long transition three-pointer in the waning seconds by Monmouth’s Will Campbell which put the opposition ahead 64-63 and proved to be the final score of the game. After heading into halftime with a slim lead, 33-29, the Eagles stormed out of the gates on the strength of back-to-back baskets by Bowdry to push its lead to 37-31. The tide would turn the Hawks’ way, as Eastern committed untimely turnovers and failed to connect on five of its next seven shots. Monmouth capitalized by turning EMU turnovers and missed baskets into points and taking a 41-40 advantage. Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) would nail a long-distance bomb for the Green and White to push the Eagles’ advantage to four points, 45-41, but the lead again would not last. Mike Keitt and Will Campbell would score to close the gap and even the game at 49 apiece with 11 minutes remaining in the contest. After exchanging baskets over the next five minutes, Bowdry again put the team on his back, scoring the final eight points of the game for the Eagles. With the Eagles up by two points, 63-61, Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, NC-IMG Academy Hillsborough (Fla.) C.C.) had a chance to extend the lead to four, but was unsuccessful at two free throw attempts with 13 seconds remaining. Off the rebound, MU would push the ball, finding a streaking Campbell in the corner for the game-winning transition three-pointer. The Eagles had one final chance to win the game with one second left and inbounding the ball, but Bowdry was unable to get a shot off, bobbling an inbounds pass as time ex-pired. In addition to Bowdry’s game-highs of 28 points and 12 boards, Green chipped in with 12 points, while Higgins added six with five assists, and Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) recorded five points and six assists. The Eagles shot 37 percent from the field while the Hawks shot 48 percent. The Eagles managed to out-rebound MU, 35-31, and also hit a season-high nine three-point field goals as a team.

EaglEs DOOMED By cOlD shOOting North Dakota takes low-scoring win

MOSCOW, Idaho (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell just short of a win in the second of three games in the Basketball Traveler’s Classic, 54-49, to the North Dakota Fighting Sioux here Saturday, Dec. 4, in War Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of the University of Idaho. After heading into intermission down 27-22, the Eagles used a 10-6 run to start the second half and narrow the margin to one point, 33-32, after senior forward Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, NC-IMG Academy Hillsborough (Fla.) C.C.) hit a three-point basket deep in the corner. The teams would exchange scores, with North Dakota cashing in at the charity stripe and the Eagles striking from the field, until EMU was able to knot the game at 45 with just over four minutes remaining. But the Eagles turned cold, not hitting another basket until senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) laid the ball in to once again tie the score, 47-47, with 1:21 remaining. One other Bowdry lay up, with 22.7 seconds remaining, would cap the Eagles’ scoring, and ND put the game away with late free throws. The Eagles had an opportunity to tie the score late, but an Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) triple try would miss the iron. North Dakota nabbed the rebound and the Eagles had no choice but to foul again and send the Fight-ing Sioux to the line where they would close it out. Second half free throw shooting by the opposition once again proved to be the dif-ference-maker for the Eagles, as North Dakota sank 21-of-26 foul shots over the final 20 minutes. The Eastern Michigan defense held the Fighting Sioux without a field goal for the final 10:06 of the game, but over that same span, North Dakota sank 15 free throws to close out the contest and earn the win. Bowdry finished the game with 20 points and seven rebounds, while Higgins had 10 points, all in the second half, to go along with four boards. Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) anchored the Eagles defensively as he grabbed eight boards and rejected four shots. He also had five points. Troy Huff and Patrick Mitchell led North Dakota with 11 and 10 points, respectively. With the loss, the Eagles are now 1-5 on the season and North Dakota is 3-4 with the win. The Eagles will close out the tournament Sunday, Dec. 5, with a matchup against the host school University of Idaho Vandals in a 6 p.m. PT contest.

EaglEs Fall tO hOst iDahO in invitatiOnal FinalBowdry leads eagles with 17 points

MOSCOW, Idaho (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was un-able to pick up a victory in the team’s final game of the Basketball Travelers Classic in Moscow, Idaho, falling 75-60 to the host school University of Idaho Vandals, Sunday night, Dec. 5, in War Memorial Gymnasium. The Eagles fall to 1-6 with the loss while the Vandals improve to 5-3. Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) once again led the Eagles with 17 points and six rebounds, but foul trouble forced the Eagles’ top scorer and rebounder to the bench for key moments in the second half. Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State) also came alive for the Eagles, notching a career-best scoring performance for EMU, scoring 15 points and connecting on four of his first five shots from three-point range. Adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee (Ill.) C.C.), who started his second consecutive game at point guard, poured in 10 points with four assists in 27 minutes of action. The Eagles were able to take a quick 7-2 advantage in the first four minutes of the game by scor-ing in various different ways. Bowdry scored from inside and outside, hitting a mid-range jumper and a three pointer, sophomore center Matt Balkema (Warren Mich.-Cousino) scored down low on a turnaround lay up, and Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) made two free throws. The Vandals quickly responded, however, as solid shooting would help the home team take an 18-16 advantage. UI was able to increase the advantage to 12 points, 34-22, over the next six minutes thanks to hot shooting. The Vandals shot 54 percent (13-of-24) in the opening frame, and while the Eagles were hot themselves (shooting 11-of-20 for 55 percent) but committed nine turnovers which led to 11 Idaho points, putting the home team in position to take a 38-29 halftime advantage. In the second half, Burton fueled the Eagles on the way to another good start, assisting on a Bowdry lay up then immediately stealing the inbounds pass for a lay up of his own. A two-handed dunk by Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) would close the gap to five, 40-35, with 17:44 left in the game. Idaho’s pinpoint shooting didn’t slow down, however, as the Vandals would reel off the next eight points to extend the lead to 13, 48-35. From that point, the Eagles were never able to pull within more than eight (57-49) as UI again shot 50 percent from the field in the second half and only turned the ball over four times in securing the win. For the game, EMU shot a season-best 46.7 percent from the field (21-of-45), including 41 percent from beyond the arc (7-of-17), but also allowed the opposition to shoot 52 percent (26-of-50) from the field and 57 percent (8-of-14) from deep. The Vandals were led by sophomore center Kyle Barone with 18 points and seven rebounds, while Jeff Ledbetter scored 12 and Shawn Henderson had 11 points, seven boards and five assists. For his efforts throughout the three-day tournament, Bowdry was named to the Basketball Travel-ers All-Classic Team. In the three games, the senior forward averaged 22.3 points and 8.3 rebounds, both tournament-highs, and narrowly missed garnering the tournament’s Most Valuable Player honor, which was awarded to Idaho’s Deremy Geiger.

EaglEs DrOP hOME DEcisiOn tO DrakEBrandon Bowdry records 27th career double-double

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A furious second-half rally fell just short as the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell, 58-54, to a visiting Drake University team here Wednesday night, Dec. 8, 2010, in the Convocation Center in a non-conference men’s basketball game. The Eagles fought back from a second-half double-digit deficit to pull within three, 54-51, with 1:29 left in the game, but after gaining possession, EMU suffered a turnover which led to a Drake basket for a 56-51 Bulldog lead. Junior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman), who turned in the 27th double-double of his career with 25 points and 10 rebounds, then hit a three to make it 56-54, with 9.8 seconds left, but Drake’s Frank Wiseler would make two free throws to give the visitors a 58-54 lead with just 9.2 seconds left and the game would end with that score. The loss drops EMU to 1-7 on the season with a date against in-state foe Detroit on the agenda Saturday, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. here in the Convocation Center. Sophomore center Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) added nine points while sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State) tallied eight points. The Eagles shot just 35.4 percent from the field, making 17-of-48 shots, and connected on only 3-of-17 triple tries for 17.6 percent. Drake shot 45.7 percent on 21-of-46 from the field. EMU won the rebound battle, 33-28. Drake, now 3-4 overall, was led by Rayvonte Rice with 13 points while Ryan Wedel added 10. Bowdry put the Eagles on the scoreboard first, scoring on a driving lay up while being fouled. He would make the free throw for a three-point play at the 18:52 mark of the first half. Eastern would up its lead to 5-3 on a hook shot by Balkema but Rice would then score eight straight points and the Bulldogs would go up by seven with 14:48 on the clock. Bowdry would almost single-handedly keep the Eagles within reach, scoring 18 points in the first half, including tying the score at 28-all with 14.8 seconds remaining on two free throws. Drake’s Kraidon Woods tipped in a miss to finish the half with the visitors leading 30-28. After both teams got off to a sluggish start in the second half, the Bulldogs ran off eight unanswered points to take a 10-point lead, 43-33, at the 16:11 mark of the second half. Thompson would get the Eagles back on track with a long triple from the right corner to cut the deficit to seven, 43-36, with 12:45 left. The Eagles would not quit, however, and Bowdry would hit a pair of charity tosses to cut the Drake lead to four, 48-44, with 6:23 remaining in the contest, setting up the late-game flurry.

EaglEs rally BUt Fall in OtBrandon Bowdry scores 31 with 19 rebounds

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A late second-half comeback helped the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team force overtime, but the extra five-minute session went to the University of Detroit Titans as the visitors recorded a 68-65 non-conference victory over the Eagles here Saturday afternoon, Dec. 11, 2010, in the Convocation Center. The Eagles, now 1-8 on the year, fought back from an 11-point deficit, 41-30, with 12:19 left in regulation to tie the game at 55-55 on a three-point shot from deep on the left baseline by sophomore Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO), with 7.3 seconds left, forcing the five-minute overtime period. Eastern would take a one-point lead twice in overtime, the second time with 2:53 left on a lay up by senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) to make it 59-58. Detroit would build its overtime advantage to five, 66-61, with 1:27 left, but once again the Eagles would surge back to cut it to three, 68-65, but a three-point shot with just one second left fell short and the Titans held on to post the three-point win. Bowdry turned in the 28th double-double of his career with a 31-point, 19-rebound effort to lead the Eagles. Thompson added 12 points for EMU. Eastern hauled down a whopping 62 rebounds in the game while shooting just 30.7 percent, hitting 23-of-75 attempts from the field. Detroit freshman point guard Ray McCallum, son of Titan Head Coach Ray McCallum Sr., had 31 points with eight rebounds while Donavan Foster added 12 points and LaMarcus Lowe had 10 boards. The Titans shot 34.4 percent for the game, hitting 22-of-64 shots. Detroit is now 6-5 on the season. The game stayed close for most of the first half with Detroit taking a 27-21 advantage into halftime intermission. Detroit came out of halftime with a vengeance, building its advantage to 10, 39-29, after a series of EMU offensive miscues led to easy buckets. The Eagles would not surrender, however, slowly creeping back into the game to make it a six-point difference, 41-35, on a driving lay up by Bowdry with 9:59 remaining. Eastern would continue to chip away at the deficit, cutting it to four, 43-39, on a high-flying dunk by Will Cooper (Detroit, Mich.-Pershing-Bridgton Academy) with 7:45 left. Trailing by 11, 41-30, with 12:19 left in the game the Eagles roared back to cut it to three, 54-51, with 1:31 left on a three-point field goal from the top of the circle by Thompson, his second in a row. Thompson would once again connect on a long triple, from the left baseline to knot the game at 55 with just 7.3 seconds remaining sending the game into OT. The Titans had the ball inbounded in front of the EMU bench and the throw in was knocked out of bounds in front of U-D’s bench, giving the visitors possession with 2.3 seconds left. A long three-pointer from right in front of the Detroit bench by Donavan Foster was just off the mark, forcing the overtime session.

EAGLES FALL TO VALPO IN LOU HENSON OPENERBrandon Bowdry turns in 29th career double-double

ROCHESTER, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A late-game rally fell just short for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team here Monday, Dec. 20, in the first round of the Lou Henson Tournament at Oakland University’s O’Rena. The Eagles, who trailed by as many as 17 points with 12 minutes left, fought back to pull within six, 61-55, with 5:28 left, but the Green and White would get no closer in a 74-67 loss to Valparaiso University. Eastern, now 1-9, will now move into the third-place game tomorrow, Dec. 21, against Rochester College, which lost a 103-79 decision to host Oakland in the second game of the evening. EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) turned in the 29th double-double of his career with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland J.C.) added 10 while junior guard antonio green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) chipped in eight. Valparaiso, now 8-4, had three players in double-figure scoring, led by Brandon Wood with 21 followed by Howard Little and Ryan Broeckhoff with 13 each and Cory Johnson 12. Eastern shot 40.4 percent from the field, hitting 21-of-52 shots while connecting on 10-of-27 three-point shots for 37.0 percent. Valpo made 25-of-49 field goals for 51 percent and 22-of-30 free throws for 73.3 percent. EMU won the battle of the boards, 34-30. Valparaiso, listed as the home team for the opening game, ran off eight unanswered points to start the game before Bowdry broke the drought with two free throws at the 16:02 mark. Valpo would make it 12-2 with 15:18 left in the first half before 10-2 run to cut it to two, 14-12, on a lay up by Lampley with 10:43 remaining. The Crusaders would fight off that challenge by the Eagles to go back on top by 10, 23-13, at the 6:00 mark, and Valpo would head into halftime with a 29-20 lead. Valpo came out of the locker room with a vengeance, out-scoring the Eagles, 6-2, in the early stages to bump its lead back to 12, 35-23 after the first two minutes of the final stanza. The Crusaders would increase their lead to 17, 49-32, with 12:04 left, but the Eagles would come up with an offensive surge that would cut the Valpo advantage to nine, 52-43, after Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan J.C.) and Lampley hit back-to-back threes. The Eagles would get it all the way back to six, 61-55, on a triple by Green with 5:28 left on the clock, but Valpo would hold on at the end for the seven-point victory.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team built up a 12-point first-half lead and never looked back, recording an 82-63 victory over Rochester College here Tuesday, Dec. 21, in the third-place game of the Lou Henson Tournament in Oakland University’s O’Rena. EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) turned in the 30th double-double of his career with 22 points and 14 rebounds against Roches-ter. He also turned in a double-double in the opening game of the tournament, with 24 points and 10 boards against Valparaiso, and was named to the All-Tournament Team for his two-game effort. Junior forward Kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago Bartlett H.S.) scored a career-high 11 points and three players, Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan J.C.), Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) and adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee J.C.), each added nine points.

EaglEs DrOP 2010 FinalEEMU falls to Samford, 55-51, Dec. 31

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team suffered a late-game scoring drought to drop a 55-51 decision to host Samford University here Friday, Dec. 31, in a non-conference afternoon contest in the Pete Hanna Center. The Eagles built a six-point lead, 49-43, with 3:23 left, but the Green and White would score just two points the rest of the way in the setback. EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) led the Eagles, now 2-10, with 19 points and six rebounds with guard Darrell Lampley (Linden,N.J.-Linden-Lakeland J.C.) adding 12. Gregg Wooten paced Samford, now 9-5, with 13 while teammates Josh Davis and Jeffrey Merritt added 11 each. Eastern shot 50 percent from the field, hitting 21-of-42 shots and 6-of-20 three pointers for 30 percent, but the Eagles had 21 turnovers in the game. Samford made 16-of-39 field goals for 41 percent and hit 9-of-24 triples fore 37.5 percent. EMU was 3-for-3 from the free throw line while the Bulldogs were making 14-of-16. The Eagles opened the game with a bang, jumping out to an 11-5 lead on two three pointers by Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) with a three and a two from Lampley. Samford would come back to knot the score at 11-11 at the 14:02 mark on a three by Bermudez, but the Eagles would continue their offensive surge, going up by nine, 27-18, with 4:23 left on a lefty hook shot by Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid). The Eagles would close out the half on a dunk by Bowdry for a 29-21 advantage. Bowdry and Thompson led all first-half scorers with nine points each while Lampley added seven. Bermudez paced the Bulldogs with six. Bowdry opened the second half with two free throws to boost the lead to 10, 31-21, but the Bulldogs would go long distance, hitting three triples during a 14-4 stretch to tie the game at 35-35 with 14:04 left. Bowdry would then make two driving lay ups to put the Eagles up by four, 39-35, with 12:02 showing on the clock. Samford would pull within one, 39-38, with 11:47 left, but once again the Eagles would fend off the challenge, raising its lead to six, 49-43, with 3:57 remaining. A series of missed shots and turnovers then allowed the home team to fight its way back into the game, forcing a 49-49 tie with 1:37 left. Eastern’s Bowdry was then called for an offensive foul and Jeff Merritt put the Bulldogs on top, 51-49, with two free throws with 40.2 ticks left. Samford would make it a four-point led with 10.6 seconds left when Josh Bedwell connected on two charity tosses with 10.6 left and the home team would close out the game with the 55-51 win.

The win leaves the Eagles at 3-10 overall and with plenty of momentum heading into their 37th Mid-American Conference season with a Saturday, Jan. 8, 7 p.m. game at Toledo. EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) turned in the 31st double-double of his career with 18 points and 11 rebounds while sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added 19 points, including making 5-of-9 three-point field goals.

Ferris opened the game on a quick jumper by Gay with just 16 seconds elapsed, but Eastern came right back on a lay up by Bowdry just 22 seconds later. The visitors would go on to build an eight-point lead, 17-9, when Keenan hit a jumper at the 14:17 mark, but once again the Eagles would fight back, pulling within two, 24-22, on a three-point field goal by Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) at the 6:57 mark. Thompson would then hit his third three ball of the half to tie the game at 29-all at the 4:30 mark of the first half and would back that up immediately with an off-balance triple to give the Eagles their first lead of the game, 32-29, with 3:45 left on the clock. Eastern would keep its lead at three before senior wing Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, N.C.-IMG Academy-Hillsborough C.C.) closed out the half on a long triple with 3.2 left for a 38-32 Eagles’ advantage heading into intermission. The Eagles came out of halftime with a vengeance, scoring five straight to boost the lead to 11, 43-32, in the first minute.

EMU DrOPs hOME Mac cOntEst tO niUDerek Thompson ties Convo record with eight threes

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State University) tied a Convocation Center record with eight three-point field goals on the way to a career-best 31-point night, but it wasn’t enough for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team as the Eagles fell, 71-69, to a visiting Northern Illinois University squad here Tuesday night, Jan. 11. Thompson connected on 8-of-10 triples and all seven free throw attempts to tie the Convo record shared by EMU’s Ricky Cottrill (12-1-01 vs. Tennessee Tech) and Marshall’s Ronald Blackshear (3-3-03 against EMU). Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) added 16 points and seven rebounds for the Eagles, now 4-11 overall and 1-1 in MAC action. NIU senior guard Xavier Silas matched Thompson’s total with 31 of his own and was backed up by Tim Toler with 11 and Nate Rucker with 10. The win boosted the Huskies to 5-9 overall and 1-1 in league play. EMU made 14-of-32 three-point field goals to tie its own Convo record set against Tennes-see Tech (12-1-01) while NIU was making 10-of-15 triples. The Eagles shot just 38.5 percent from the field, making 20-of-52 shots while the Huskies were blistering the nets at a 61.0 clip, connecting on 25-of-41 field-goal attempts. Eastern won a tight battle of the boards, 29-28. The Eagles saw an early nine-point lead, 15-6, after five minutes evaporate near the half as the visitors out-scored the home team, 30-11, for a commanding 39-26 halftime lead. Northern would keep that double-digit lead through the first stages of the second half before the Eagles would mount a comeback, methodically cutting the Huskies advantage from 11, 57-46, with 13:12 left to four, 61-57, with 8:01 showing on the clock on a triple by Thompson. The Eagles would pull within two, 62-60, with 5:55 left on two free throws by Bowdry, but the Green and White could not get the tie-breaking shot to fall, turning the ball over on several key possessions down the stretch. Thompson would once again hit a three pointer, with just 20 ticks left, to make it 68-66, but once again, the Huskies would fight off the challenge, going up by four on two free throws by Michael Patton. With Northern leading, 71-66, Thompson would hit his final three of the game at the buzzer to make it a two-point final. EMU will be idle until Sunday, Jan. 16, when it travels to Kalamazoo for a 2 p.m. battle with the Western Michigan University Broncos.

EMU Falls On rOaD at WEstErn MichiganPoor shooting too much to overcome for the Eagles

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team could not overcome a poor offensive performance in a 65-48 loss to Western Michigan University here Sunday, Jan. 16, 2011, in a Mid-American Conference West Division matchup in University Arena. The Eagles, playing without leading scorer and rebounder, senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman), who sat out the game as part of a one-game suspen-sion for conduct detrimental to the team, would make just 36.7 percent of their field-goal attempts (18-of-49) while also committing 17 turnovers. Western would also suffer on the offensive end, shooting just 35 percent from the field, hitting 21-of-60 field-goal attempts, but the Broncos would make 18-of-22 free throws for 81.8 percent to Eastern’s 6-of-16 from the line for 37.5 percent. WMU held a huge 46-30 rebound margin. Eastern, now 4-12 overall and 1-2 in MAC play, was led in scoring by sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) with 17 points, including five three-point field goals. Western, which improved to 9-7 overall and 2-1 in the MAC, was paced by freshman Matt Stainbrook with 17 points while Nate Hutcheson added 16 and Demetrius Ward tallied 10. Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) staked the Eagles to a quick 2-0 lead to start the game on a lay up 15 seconds into the game. The two teams traded buckets for the next eight minutes before Eastern gained a five-point lead, 19-14, on a jumper by Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) with 7:56 left in the half. The EMU offense would hit a cold stretch from that point until halftime, scoring just two points the rest of the way while Western was turning in 13 to post a 27-21 halftime advan-tage. Hutcheson opened the second half on a put-back dunk and Thompson quickly answered with two straight three-point field goals and Harris added an old-fashioned three-point effort on a lay up and foul shot to give the Eagles a 30-29 lead at the 17:51 mark. The Broncos turned up their defensive effort at that point, holding the Eagles to a solo Adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee J.C.) free throw while scoring 10 points for a 39-31 lead with 12:29 left. Western would keep up the offensive onslaught, rolling to a 22-point advantage, 55-33, and the Broncos kept that double-digit lead the remainder of the contest.

EMU DrOPs DEcisiOn tO Mac-WEst lEaDEr BsUEagles cold from the field in loss

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A cold shooting night was too much to overcome for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team in a 60-51 loss to Mid-American Conference West Division leader Ball State University here Wednesday night, Jan. 19, 2011, in the Convocation Center. The visiting Cardinals came into the game with a perfect 3-0 league mark and made it 4-0 and 12-4 overall while shooting 48.8 percent from the field on 21-of-43 attempts while holding the Eagles to just 31.7 percent from the field on 19-of-60 shots. The Eagles would make just 3-of-20 three-point attempts for 15 percent. Ball State also won the board battle, 41-32. The Eagles, 4-13 overall and 1-3 in MAC action, were led by senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) with 26 points and six rebounds. Ball State was paced by center Jerrod Jones with 15 points while Randy Davis added 11 points and Jauwon Scaife chippe in 10. Malik Perry hauled down 10 rebounds for the Cards. Bowdry opened the game with a three-point field goal from the top of the circle and the two teams traded buckets over the first 13 minutes of the game before the Cardinals took a 19-17 lead at the 6:55 mark on a lay up by Chris Bond. The visitors would increase that lead to six, 23-17, with 4:15 left and would hold that advantage into halftime, leading 27-21, Bowdry closed out the first half with 13 points while Ball State was paced by Chris Bond with six. Ball State shot 50 percent from the field, hitting 11-of-22 shots while EMU could manage just 25.8 percent, making just 8-of-31 attempts in the first 20 minutes. Bowdry opened the second half with a hook shot, but the Cardinals answered quickly, building their lead to nine, 33-24, on two straight triples by Scaife. The Eagles would cut the lead to seven points several times over the next several min-utes, but the Cardinals would withstand each challenge, eventually boosting their lead to double digits, 49-38, on two free throws by Randy Davis with 5:26 remaining. Eastern’s pressing defense helped the Eagles pull within six, 53-47, on a lay up by Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan C.C.) with 2:19 left. Adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee C.C.) would then make the first of two free throw attempts just 13 seconds later to pull the Eagles within five, 53-48, but the Eagles would get no closer in the loss. The Eagles are back in MAC West Division action Sunday, Jan. 23, when they host Central Michigan University in a 2 p.m. game in the Convocation Center.

EMU POsts lOW-scOring Win OvEr cMUEagles hold visitors to just 38 total points

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team won a low-scoring contest in thrilling fashion here Saturday afternoon, Jan. 23, 2011, in the Convocation Center, taking a 41-38 win over the Central Michigan University Chip-pewas in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. Holding a slim three-point lead, Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) would hit a breakaway lay up when Central Michigan was called for a goal tend to put Eastern up by five, 39-34, with 36.4 left in the game. Central’s Trey Zeigler would then hit the second of two free tosses to cut it to four, 39-35, with 29.4 left on the clock. The Eagles then had trouble in-bounding the ball, and Central’s Finis Craddock picked up the errant pass and bombed in a long three from the top of the arc to cut it to one, 39-38, with 24.9 left. Central was then forced into a fouling situation and Lampley would connect on both free throws to put Eastern up by three, 41-38, with 22.3 left. The visitors would get one last chance at the tie but a triple by Zeigler was off the mark at the buzzer and EMU gained the 41-38 victory. The 38 points scored by CMU was a Convocation Center low for a visiting team while EMU’s 41 points was also a team low for the season. The Eagles would shoot just 33.3 percent from the field, making 14-of-42 shots while leading scorer Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) was held 15 points below his 21-point average, scoring just six points. He also had eight boards. Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) and Lampley led the Eagles, now 2-3 in the MAC and 5-13 overall, with 11 points each. Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) had eight rebounds with five blocked shots . Central, now 2-3 in the league and 5-13 overall, was led by Zeigler with 13 while Andre Coimbra added 10. Central shot just 23.3 percent from the field on 14-of-60, but held a 45-37 rebound advantage. The Chippewas opened the game on two free throws by Zeigler and they quickly built a 5-2 lead before the Eagles began a methodical comeback. Thompson connected on a jumper followed by a lay up from Kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago (Ill.) Bartlett) and two free throws by Thompson to stake the Eagles to an 8-5 advantage. Eastern would increase that lead to six, 15-9, on a Lampley three with 8:01 left in the half. Thompson would then hit a triple that took three bounces before falling for an 18-9 EMU edge. The two teams would struggle on the offensive end the remainder of the half with Eastern taking a 21-13 lead into intermission.

EMU Falls tO East-DivisiOn rival OhiOThompson leads Eagles with 13 points

ATHENS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped the first of six cross-division contests, 79-65, to the Bobcats of Ohio University Wednesday, Jan. 26, at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. The Eagles were led offensively by Derrick Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO), who finished with 13 points, while J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) added eight points, all in the second half. Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) finished with just eight points and five rebounds in only 20 minutes of action. OU was led by Devaughn Washington’s 20-point, nine-rebound outing, while Nick Kellogg netted 15, D.J. Cooper scored 12 with seven assists, and Ivo Baltic notched nine points in a minute-and-a-half to start the second stanza. The Bobcats are now 9-11 overall and 2-4 in the Mid-American Conference, while the Eagles fall to 5-14 and 2-4 in MAC play. Eastern found itself down by as many as 28 points, 69-41, with just over nine minutes remaining, but EMU’s second unit fought back to close the game with a 24-10 run. Sims fueled the late rally, connecting on two long-range bombs and a fade-away jumper in the lane. Despite the late offensive flurry, Eastern was only able to out-score the home team by two points in the second half after falling behind by 16 in the first half. The Eagles matched the Bobcats’ fast start to open the game, as the teams exchanged baskets over the first five minutes of the contest, playing to a 10-10 tie. But Ohio was able to capitalize on EMU’s aggressive defense, drawing fouls and forcing the Eagles into the penalty situation just over nine minutes into the contest. Bowdry was called for two of those fouls, sending the MAC’s second-leading scorer and leading rebounder to the bench for the remaining 13:19 of the opening stanza after posting just two points and two rebounds. Immediately following Bowdry’s second foul, OU scored six straight, giving the Bobcats a 16-10 advantage. Kenny Stewart (Williamsport, Pa.-Notre Dame Prep-Weatherford (Texas) C.C.) cut OU run with a long two-point basket, and Quintin Dailey nailed a three-pointer to bring the game to within three,18-15, still in the home team’s advantage. Over the final 10 minutes of the half, however, Ohio went on a 27-14 run to take a 45-29 advantage into halftime. OU started the next half with nine straight points from Baltic and the Eagles were stuck playing catch-up for the remainder of the contest. For the game, EMU shot 44.9 percent from the field (22-of-49) while OU shot 54 percent (27-of-50). Eastern was out-rebounded 36-23.

EMU rally Falls shOrt in lOss at BgsUBrandon Bowdry turns in his 33rd double-double

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell, 68-63, to Bowling Green State University here Saturday afternoon, Jan. 29, 2011, in Anderson Arena in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game. The loss drops EMU to 2-5 in MAC action and 5-15 overall while the Falcons improve to 5-2 in the league and 11-11 overall. EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) turned in the 33rd double-double of his career with 24 points and 15 rebounds while senior forward Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, N.C.-IMG Academy-Hillsborough J.C.) added a season-best 15 points, including 4-of-6 three-point shots. Bowling Green was led by Scott Thomas with 16 point while Jordan Crawford added 14 and Dee Brown chipped in 11. Eastern shot 39.2 percent from the field, hitting 20-of-51 shots while shooting 40.9 percent from beyond the arc, making 9-of-22. Bowling Green connected on 26-of-51 field goal attempts for 51 percent while making 5-of-14 triples for 35.7 percent. The Falcons held a slim, 34-32, rebound edge. Eastern opened the game with a flurry, racing to a 12-2 lead in the first three minutes, with Higgins hitting two long threes and Bowdry chipping in six on two field goals and two free throws. The Falcons would claw back to tie the game at 17-all on a long jumper from the left side of the basket by Scott Thomas at the 10:36 mark of the half. Bowling Green would gain its first lead of the half on two free throws by A’ustin Calhoun with 1:17 left and the Falcons would head into intermission with a 34-31 advantage. Both teams went to their long-range offense early, trading threes through most of the half with EMU connecting on 7-of-10 triples, with Higgins hitting four while BG would make 4-of-10 threes. Higgins finished the first half with 12 points while Jordan Crawford came off the B.G. bench to score 12. Bowling Green would open the second half by stretching its lead to six, 41-35, but Bowdry would answer on an old-fashioned three-point play, making it 41-38. Eastern would fight back to make it a one-point deficit, with Bowdry connecting on a jumper at the 8:05 mark to make it 55-54. Bowling Green would then go on a seven-point run to forge a 62-54 lead with four minutes left . The Eagles would not be denied, however, rallying to cut the Falcons lead to four, 67-63, with 12.2 seconds left on two free throws by Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud), but the Eagles could not get any closer.

EMU ZAPS THE ZIPS, 60-56Eagles led by Bowdry’s double-double

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team used some timely offense and stingy defense to record a 60-56 win over a visiting University of Akron team here Wednesday night, Feb. 2, 2011, in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game in the Convocation Center. The EMU offense was led once again by senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman), the team’s leading scorer, who turned in the 34th double-double of his career with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added nine points and junior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) added eight points, including three free throws over the last 40 seconds to help the Eagles hold off a late Akron rally. Eastern, now 6-15 overall and 3-5 in the Mid-American Conference, shot 40.8 percent from the field, hitting 20-of-49 shots and also connected on 8-of-21 three-point field goals for 38.1 percent. The Eagles held the Zips, now 12-10 overall and 3-5 in league play, to just 30.6 percent from the field on 19-of-62 shots and just 23.8 from three-point land, making 5-of-21. Akron had three players in double-figure scoring paced by Zeke Marshall with 15, Nikola Cvetinovic with 13 and Darryl Roberts with 11. Bowdry opened the game with a layup followed by three straight Akron points. Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) then scored on a lay up followed by a three-point field goal from the right baseline by Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, N.C.-IMG Academy-Hillsborough C.C.) to boost the Eagles to a 7-3 lead with 12:56 on the clock. The Eagles would build the lead to eight at halftime, 27-19, with Bowdry leading the way with nine points and five rebounds. Akron would come out of halftime with a flurry, scoring 11 unanswered points to take a 30-27 lead with 16:38 left in the game. Bowdry would finally get the Eagles untracked, scoring six consecutive points to put the home team back on top, 33-30, with 15:14 left. The Eagles would keep the offensive pressure on, increasing its lead back to seven, 39-32, on a triple by Thompson with 12:59 remaining. Eastern continued to press the action on the offensive end, making a 10-3 run to go up by 14, 49-35, with 8:29 left with Bowdry scoring four straight points. The Zips made a late charge from that point , cutting the deficit to six, 51-45, with 1:39 left on a long triple from the top of the circle. Cvetinovic then added one free throw to make it 51-46. Lampley added a jumper for the Eagles to make it 53-46, but Akron’s Roberts would hit a long three to cut it to four, 53-49, with 1:09 left. Bowdry would then hit two free throws to make if a five-point lead, but Akron would come right back to pull within two, 55-53, but Eastern would hold off the Zips down the stretch for the four-point win.

EMU DrOPs hEartBrEakEr tO MiaMiLast-second three ruled too late in two-point loss

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — What looked like a one-point win turned quickly into a two-point loss for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team here in the Convocation Center Saturday afternoon, Feb. 5, 2011, After relinquishing a 20-point second-half lead, the Eagles found themselves down, 58-56, with just 1.2 seconds left against a visiting Miami University RedHawks team in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game. The Eagles set up an in-bounds play from the opposite baseline and a raucous crowd roared in amazement after a 25-foot heave from EMU sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) went through the basket as the buzzer sounded, seem-ingly giving the Eagles the one-point win. The same crowd was sent home with heads hung low, however, after more than a minute of deliberation from the officials determined that the clock read all zeroes before the ball left Thompson’s hand, leaving EMU on the losing end of a 58-56 scoreboard. After trailing by double digits throughout most of the contest, the RedHawks made a furious comeback in the waning moments, as freshman forward Jon Harris nailed four three-point baskets and Allen Roberts connected on a and-one opportunity to give Miami its first lead of the game, 58-56, with just 1.2 ticks left on the clock. That left Eastern with one chance remaining. Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) threw a perfect inbounds pass to Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) who handed the ball off to Thompson between two Miami defenders. Thompson would launch the leaning 25-footer between the same two Miami defenders and the shot hit nothing but the bottom of the net, only for the referees to rule it came after the final buzzer had sounded. The Eagles had two opportunities to increase its fading lead late in the contest as they had the ball with a one-point lead and just over 30 seconds left, but failed to convert, giving the RedHawks another opportunity. They did just that as Harris downed the last of his four threes with 1.2 seconds left on the clock. EMU was led by senior forward Bowdry who recorded his 35th-career double-double by notching 19 points and grabbing 11 boards. J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) poured in a career-high 13 points and Thompson scored eight. With the loss, the Eagles drop to 6-16 (3-7 MAC) and the RedHawks improve to 11-12 (6-3 MAC). The Eagles started the game with a hot hand, connecting on their first five shot attempts, while limiting the RedHawks to just one make in their first seven tries from the field. EMU headed into halftime with a 28-15 advantage. In the second half, Bowdry went to work early, netting eight points on a lay up, old-fashioned three pointer and another score from beyond the arc. His baskets put the Eagles up by 16 points, 36-20, before the starting backcourt of Simms and Thompson nailed two more triples to extend the Eagle’s lead to 20, 43-23. Miami continued to chip away at the lead and EMU was only able to score four points for the rest of the contest before Miami closed the game with the five three-point plays for the 58-56 win.

EMU DrOPs crOss-DivisiOnal tilt at kEntEagles’ Bowdry leads the way with 25 points

KENT, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Despite starting the game with a 10-2 run, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was unable to sustain its early momentum, falling 80-70 to Kent State University, Wednesday, Feb. 9, here at the M.A.C. Center in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game. After going into halftime down by six, 40-34, EMU allowed the Golden Flashes to break the game open at the start of the second half, holding the Eagles scoreless for the first 4:38 of the final stanza while netting nine points of their own. At the end of the run, KSU was on top by 15, 49-34, with just over 15 minutes left. The Eagles would not quit, however, and continued to chip away at that double-digit deficit, scoring four points in a five-second span to cut the lead to nine, 57-48, and trim-ming the lead to single digits on four different occasions. However, Eastern was unable to get closer than nine points the rest of the way as KSU came away with the win. Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) led the Eagles with 25 points and six rebounds, while Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) netted nine points, and Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, NC-IMG Academy Hillsborough (Fla.) C.C.) tallied seven points. Kenny Stewart (Williamsport, Pa.-Notre Dame Prep-Weatherford (Texas) C.C.) and Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) also chipped in with six points apiece. Kent State had four players in double figures as Justin Greene led the way with 23 points (19 in the first) and eight boards. Michael Porrini had 15, while Carlton Guyton and Randal Holt scored 13 and 11, respectively. The Eagles were able to jump out to an early 10-2 advantage in the first two and a half minutes of the game as Bowdry connected on two lay ups and a three pointer, and Higgins also hit a long bomb. Rodiriguez Sherman stopped EMU’s run with a fast-break lay up that cut the Eagles’ lead to six, 10-4. The teams would split the next 10 points, putting Eastern up 15-9, but Kent answered with three straight baskets, including a long two pointer from Eric Gaines, to knot the score at 15 apiece. The Golden Flashes were able to take their first lead of the contest with just over six minutes remaining in the first half, going up 24-22, but Bowdry would bring the game back to even, 24-24, after a low post spinning lay in. The home team would mount a 12-6 run, including back-to-back baskets by Mark Henniger, to extend their lead to six, 36-30, with three minutes left in the half, ultimately taking a 40-34 lead into intermission. For the game, EMU shot 38 percent (26-of-58) from the floor, while KSU was 30-of-60 for 50 percent. The Eagles won the turnover battle as they only had 11 while forcing 18. The Eagles will be on the hardwood again Saturday, Feb. 12, as the team honors the 1990-91 Sweet 16 team in a home matchup against the University at Buffalo.

EMU knOcks OFF East cO-lEaDEr BUFFalOEagles have four in double figures in victory

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A late second-half run provided the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team the spark it needed to soar past the University at Buffalo, 78-65, in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional tilt here Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Convocation Center. The team earned the win on a day in which the 1990-91 Eastern Michigan Hurons team was celebrated for its memorable run to the Sweet 16. Players and coaches from the team were honored during a halftime presentation. With EMU leading 57-53 and 7:35 remaining in the game, the Eagles held the Bulls with-out a field goal for 4:24 during an 8-1 run which put the home team up 65-54 with just 3:11 remaining. With the win, the Eagles improve to 7-17 (4-7 MAC) and the Bulls, who entered the game as an East Division co-leader, fall to 15-8 (7-4 MAC). The Green and White boasted four players with double figures. Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) led the team with 20 points and six rebounds, while Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) had 15 points, Derrick Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) scored 13, and Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) netted 11 points, including two thunderous dunks and five blocked shots. Buffalo had three double-digit scorers as Javon McCrea had 17 points with seven rebounds, Zach Filzen had 14 points, and Dave Barnett chipped in with 13 points and seven boards. After coming out of intermission with a one-point lead, 35-34, EMU and UB continued to battle back and forth. EMU would go up by eight, 51-43, after Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev. -Bishop Gorman) found Lampley on the wing for a three-pointer with 13:09 left to play. Buffalo closed the gap to 57-53 before the Eagles made their final run to secure the win. EMU shot 48.1 percent from the floor in the first frame (13-of-27) while UB was 14-of-35 (40 percent). The Eagles grabbed 16 rebounds and had seven turnovers, compared to 19 and four for the visiting Bulls. For the game, EMU shot 51.1 percent from the field (24-of-47), hitting six shots from beyond the arc. Buffalo finished the game shooting 43.1 percent (25-of-58). The visitors also won the rebounding battle, 33-28, but turned the ball over more than the Eagles, 16 times compared to 13 turnovers for EMU. The Eagles will be back in action Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. on the road against Central Michigan as it returns to MAC West competition for the first time in three weeks since a 41-38, Jan. 23 win over CMU at the Convocation Center.

EMU DrOPs rEMatch With cMUEagles fall on road in Mount Pleasant

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team lost a closely contested contest, 66-60, to the Central Michigan University Chippewas, here Wednesday, Feb. 16, at the newly renovated McGuirk Arena in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. After trailing by at least two baskets for most of the second half, the Eagles were able to pull within one possession, 60-58, after two free throws from reserve point guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) with just over a minute remaining. With senior leader Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) on the sideline, having just fouled out two minutes prior, the Eagles lapsed, allowing CMU’s Trey Zeigler to score two late baskets to propel the home team ahead to ultimately escape with the win. With the loss, EMU falls to 7-18 (4-8 Mid-American Conference) and CMU moves to 8-17 (5-7 MAC). Derrick Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) led Eastern offensively with 14 points, while Bowdry notched 13 points (11 in the second half ) and Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) also scored 10 and grabbed seven rebounds. Lampley scored a dozen, and Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, NC-IMG Academy Hillsborough (Fla.) C.C.) led the team with eight rebounds. The Chippewas were paced by Trey Zeigler with 24 points, while John Morris and Derek Jackson each chipped in with 11 points. Antonio Weary also tallied 10 points. The Eagles were able to get an early advantage, with Thompson, Bowdry and Harris all connect-ing from the field before the 16-minute mark, hopping ahead 7-4. Eastern continued to apply the pressure, getting a steal right out of a media timeout and converting down low with a Harris hook shot. On the Eagles’ next offensive possession, Thompson converted an and-one opportunity to put the Eagles up eight, 12-4. From there, Bowdry was forced to the bench after picking up his second foul of the contest, and the Green and White hit a cold spell, only netting three points over the next eight minutes. The Chippewas capitalized and were able to score 14 points in that same time span to take an 18-15 advantage. The run was finally stopped with a pair of Thompson free throws which left EMU down one, 18-17. In the first half, the Eagles were led by Thompson’s nine points and Harris’ six, while Bowdry, who played just 10 minutes, scored only one basket. EMU only shot 28.6 percent (8-of-28) in the half, but outrebounded Central 20-18. EMU carried its first-half momentum into the second period, scoring the first six points and reclaiming the lead, 27-26 with 17:36 left in the game. Central would reclaim a three-point lead only moments later, 36-33, after back-to-back baskets by Jackson and Zeigler. After an exchange of baskets, the Eagles were on the wrong end of 43-40 ballgame before Bowdry stepped up to convert an old-fashioned three-point play after Thompson broke a CMU press. The scores knotted the game at 43 apiece. Bowdry was reinserted into the lineup and the Eagles were able to pull a bit closer, 59-56, but the senior fouled out at the 1:14 mark with his team down by the same score.

Lampley sank two more free throws to decrease the deficit to two points, 60-58, but Zeigler scored two more baskets to secure the win.

EMU takEs BrackEtBUstEr victOry OvEr JsU Derek Thompson’s three with 2.8 left wins it for Eagles

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) connected on a three-point field goal from deep on the right baseline with just 2.8 seconds remaining to break a 60-all tie and give the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team a 63-60 win over a visiting Jacksonville State University team here Saturday afternoon, Feb. 19, in a Sears BracketBuster game in the Convocation Center. The three was Thompson’s lone basket of the game and gave him redemption for a three-pointer that he made against Miami, Feb. 5, that would have won the game for the Eagles but was eventually ruled to be after the final buzzer as Miami escaped with the 58-56 victory. The Eagles controlled much of the game until the Gamecocks came back to tie the contest at 54 with just over two minutes to play. Timely free throw shooting from senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) and the clutch three from Thompson proved to be the difference. For the ganme, Bowdry recorded the 36th double-double of his career with 28 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Eagles, now 8-18 overall. Junior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added 15 points for the Eagles. Jacksonville State, now 5-24 overall, had three players in double figures, with Stephen Hall scoring 15, Nick Murphy 11 and Brian Williams 10. Overall, the Eagles went 22-of-48 (45.8 percent) from the field and 6-of-18 (33.3 percent) from three-point land. They also out-rebounded JSU, 36-26. Both teams struggled at the free throw line, with the Eagles going 13-of-28 (46.4 percent) and JSU shooting 13-of-25 (52 percent) from the line. Prior to the game, the EMU Hall of Fame honored its seven 2011 inductees: Clement Chukwu (track), Dawn (Godfrey) Heck (softball), Laurie Hubbard (women’s swimming), JoAnn (LeFevre) McBroom (women’s basketball), Hildred Lewis (football and men’s track), John Martin (baseball), and Barry Stokes (football). In addition, former E-Club president and EMU football player Ed Mizinski received the E-Club’s Ron Oestrike Distinguished Service Award. The Green and White started the game on a 12-4 run and built a 28-22 halftime lead. At the 6:44 mark of the second half, Bowdry scored to run the EMU lead to nine points, 51-42. Moments later, JSU’s Jeremy Bynum silenced the home fans as he rattled-off five unanswered points with a shot from behind the arc and a jumper on consecutive possessions to pull JSU back to within four, 53-49, with 5:20 to play. As in the first half, the Eagles were again struggling at the free-throw line, shooting a mere 11-of-26 (42.3 percent) for the game. That lack of consistency plagued the Eagles down the stretch as Hall sunk a layup to knot the score at 54 with 2:28 left, setting up the late-game heriocs by Bowdry and Thompson.

EMU DrOPs DEcisiOn tO Mac-WEst cO-lEaDEr BsUEagles give up first-half lead in setback

MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team suffered a 64-49 setback at the hands of Ball State University in a Mid-American Conference West Division matchup here Wednesday, Feb. 23, at John E. Worthen Arena. Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) tallied his 37th career double with 17 points and 11 rebounds and moved into second place on the all-time rebounds list in the loss, moving one carom ahead of EMU great Earl Dixon (‘72) with ___. With the setback, the Eagles fall to 8-19 overall, 4-9 in the MAC while the Cardinals improve to 16-11 (8-5 MAC). Jarrod Jones helped Ball State to the comeback win as he led all scorers with 18 points and pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds, tallying 12 points and 10 boards in the second half alone. He was backed by Chris Bond’s 16 points. After going into the locker room with a 26-24 lead, the Eagles came out firing in the second half with back-to-back three’s by J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Nelson Snider) and Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) to push the EMU lead to 32-26 just over a minute into the half. Then it was Ball State’s turn to make a run as it stormed back with a 16-4 rally to go up 42-36 with 13:52 left in the game. At the 12:12 mark in the second half, kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago Bartlett) connected on a layup to cut the deficit to 45-40, but that would be the last field for EMU for some time. The Eagles would go scoreless for the next six-and-a-half minutes and struggled to connect on a field goal until Kenny Stewart (Williamsport, Pa.-Notre Dame Prep-Weatherford CC) converted a baby hook in the lane with 3:43 to go in the game to make it 58-44. By that time it was too late. Meanwhile, the Cardinals lead grew to as many as 17 points after Randy Davis made it 61-44 with just over three minutes left to play. The first half was a back-and-forth battle between the two teams as the Eagles jumped out their largest lead of the half just before the midway point at 16-11 with Bowdry scoring 10 of the team’s first 12 points including knocking down back-to-back three pointers to open the game. The Cardinals would respond with an eight-point run to take a one point lead before the Eagles rallied back with seven unanswered points to make the score 24-19, EMU. Each team exchanged a bucket in the final 3:08 as the Eagles went into the locker room with the 26-24 lead.

hOt-shOOting WEstErn knOcks OFF EastErnEagles fall on Earl Boykins Jersey Retirement Day

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell behind by double digits in the first half and could not catch up in an 87-60 loss to a visiting Western Michigan University squad here in a Sunday, Feb. 27, Mid-American Conference West Division game in the Convocation Center. The loss came on a day when EMU honored one of its all-time great men’s basketball play-ers-point guard Earl Boykins-who had his No. 11 jersey retired in a halftime ceremony. In the action on the court Saturday, Western roared out to a 44-20 halftime lead, shoot-ing a blistering 58.1 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes, making 18-of-31 attempts while EMU was making just 9-of-27 for 33.3 percent. Western also held a 20-14 rebounding edge in the first half. Western would finish the game shooting 52.5 percent, making 31-of-59 field goal attempts and a hot 83.3 from the line, hitting 20-of-24 attempts. Eastern would shoot just 34.5 percent from the field, connecting on 19-of-55 shots, and the Eagles would make only 12-of-26 free throws for 46.2 percent. Western also held a whop-ping 44-31 edge on the boards. The Eagles, now 8-20 overall and 4-10 in MAC action, were led by sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) with 20 points, while senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman), turned in the 38th double-double of his career with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Western, now 17-11 overall and 9-5 in league play, had five players in double figures, led by Flenard Whitfield with 16, Matt Stainbrook 15, Mike Douglas 12, and Juwan Howard Jr. and Demetrius Ward with 11 apiece. Western opened the game with a quick 5-0 lead before Bowdry scored on a lay up with 17:30 on the clock. Eastern would get to within two, 9-7, with 12:35 left on a dunk by Bowdry, but the Broncos would go on a 14-5 run over the next five minutes, building the advantage to 24-12. That Bronco lead would balloon to 16, 28-12, before Eastern would answer with a dunk by Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) and a lay up by Thompson, to make it 28-16, with 5:15 left in the half. WMU would close out the half with a 44-20 lead. The Broncos kept the offense rolling in the early stages of the second half, gradually increasing their lead to 37, 67-30, with 11:12 left. The Eagles could not significantly cut the deficit the rest of the way, and Western would roll to the 27-point win.

EMU DrOPs rOaD tilt at niUEagles shoot just 26.9 percent from the field

DeKALB, Ill. (EMUEagles.com) — T he Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell behind early and could not recover, as Northern Illinois University handed the Eagles a 66-49 setback in Mid-American Conference West Division action on Senior Day here at the NIU Convocation Center Wednesday, March 2. Senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) and junior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Robichaud) combined for 25 of the Eagles’ 35 points in the second half, but it wasn’t enough. In the absence of its leading scorer Xavier Silas, who missed his second straight game due to injury, fellow senior guard Jeremy Landers filled the void as he tied a career-high 17 points in helping host NIU maintain control from start to finish. The Eagles fall to 8-21 overall, 4-11 in the MAC, while NIU improves to 9-19 (5-10 MAC). EMU missed its first eight shots of the contest on the way to shooting just 26 percent (14-of-52) for the game, including 5-of-20 from three-point range. Bowdry finished tied for the game-high with 17 points on 4-of-10 shooting and 9-of-14 from the free throw line. Green poured in 15 points with 13 coming in the second half alone. He finished 3-of-11 from the field (3-of-8 from three) and 6-of-7 from the free throw line. The Eagles cut the deficit to 10 points in the second half at 40-30 when Green con-nected on back-to-back three-pointers at the 10:53 mark and again at 42-32 after a pair of Bowdry free throws just a minute later. However, a 13-4 run would ensue for the Huskies and was capped off with a Michael Patton jumper at the top of the key to all but seal it for the home team. NIU made two separate runs of eight or more points in the first half, one of which was a 10-point spurt that gave the Huskies a commanding, 18-6, lead with just under nine minutes left before halftime. NIU would push the lead to 13 points after Toler connected on his fourth consecutive field goal at the 7:07 mark. He went on to lead all scorers at the half with eight points on 4-of-5 shooting. Consecutive dunks by Bowdry and Harris cut the deficit to 22-14 with five minutes left in the opening stanza. Prior to that, the Eagles were just 2-for-17 from the field to open the game. The Huskies finished the half on a 6-0 run to take a 28-14 lead at the break. The Eagles shot just 16 percent (4-of-25) from the field, including 1-of-8 from three-point range with Bowdry leading the team with five first half points. Meanwhile, the Huskies went 11-of-25 (44 percent) from the field and held the rebounding edge, 24-12.

EMU clOsEs rEgUlar sEasOn With Win Eagles cruise to 69-50 win on Senior Day

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — It was Senior Day here in the Convocation Cen-ter Saturday afternoon, March 5, and the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team used that emotion to post a 69-50 win over the University of Toledo Rockets in a Mid-American Conference West Division battle. It was the final regular-season game for both clubs. The Eagles will be the No. 11 seed in the upcoming FirstEnergy Mid-American Confer-ence Men’s Tournament and will travel to Akron, Ohio Tuesday, March 8, for a matchup with No. 6 seed Akron. Senior Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) closed out a bril-liant home career, recording the 39th double-double of his career with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Jay Higgins (Fayetteville, N.C.-IMG-Hillsborough J.C.) scored four points and the other senior, wingman Will Cooper (Detroit, Mich.-Pershing-Bridgton Academy), scored two. The Eagles, who finished the regular season with a 9-21 overall record and a 5-11 MAC mark, had 10 players crack the scoring column, with Bowdry as the only EMU player in double figures. Teammates J.R. Sims (Ft. Wayne, Ind.-Snider) and Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) had nine each and Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added eight. Anthony Wright led the Rockets, who finished the regular season with a 4-27 overall record and a 1-15 MAC mark, with 15 points while Hayden Humes notched 12 before fouling out with five minutes left. Eastern would shoot 52 percent for the game, making 26-of-50 field-goal attempts while out-rebounding the visitors, 32-29. Toledo shot just 37.5 percent from the field, making 18-of-48 shots. The Eagles opened the game with a flourish, racing to an early 8-2 lead in the game’s first three minutes and would boost it to 11, 15-4, on a tip off a missed shot by sophomore center Harris at the 14:51 mark of the first half. Harris would come right back with a dunk at the 11:51 mark to give the Eagles a 12-point lead, 20-8. The Eagles would go on to boost their advantage to as many as 18, 33-15, with 7:38 on a hook by Harris, but Toledo would cut that lead to just nine points, 39-30, on a layup by Humes with 39.7 seconds left. Bowdry, who had 17 in the first half, would close out the first 20 minutes with a lay up for a 41-30 EMU lead. Toledo would once again rally in the second half, pulling within nine, 58-49, with 6:20 remaining on a triple by Wright. The Eagles would once again withstand that brief rally and go on to record the 19-point win.

EMU knOckED OUt OF Mac tOUrnEy By akrOnLate rally falls short in 67-53 setback

AKRON, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — A hard-fought effort by the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team fell just short as the host University of Akron handed the Eagles a 67-53 season-ending setback here Tuesday, March 8, in Rhodes Arena in the first round of the 2011 FirstEnergy Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament. The Eagles rallied late in the game to cut Akron’s lead to six with just five minutes left, but the Green and White would not get any closer in the final stages to suffer their second straight MAC Tournament loss to the Zips. Akron knocked Eastern out of the 2010 tournament on a double-overtime decision. The loss ended EMU’s season with a 9-22 record while Akron improved to 20-12. The Zips will face Miami in a MAC Tournament quarterfinal game Thursday, March 10. Senior Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) closed out a brilliant career with 14 points and eight rebounds while sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Ft. Wayne, Ind.-Snider) scored 12. Akron had four players in double figures, led by Nikola Cvetinovic with 13, Brett McKnight 11, and Steve McNees and Darryl Roberts with 10 each. Akron would shoot 48.9 percent from the field, hitting 23-of-47 shots while EMU made just 37.3 percent, connecting on 19-of-51 attempts. The Eagles made just 11-of-23 free throws for 47.8 percent while the home squad hit 17-of-23 for 73.9 percent. Eastern opened the scoring with five quick points on a layup by Bowdry and a triple from Sims. Sims would come right back with his second three of the game to put the Eagles up 9-5, at the 16:07 mark before the Zips cut it back to three at 9-6 at the first media timeout. McNees would follow with a long triple from the right corner and Alex Abreu added a driving layup to boost the Zips to a 14-9 lead heading into the second media timeout at the 11:45 mark. The Eagles would go cold from the outside while the Zips were heating up, building their advantage to 12, 23-11, with 8:41 remaining in the first half. Sims would hit a jumper in the lane to cut it to seven, 29-22, with just 1:29 left, but Cvetin-ovic would close out the half with a lay up with just four ticks left for a 31-22 Akron lead. The Eagles would come out of the lockerroom to start the second half with a bang, with Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) hitting a lay up followed by a Sims’ lay up to trim the deficit to just five, 33-28, with 17:04 left. Akron would build its lead back to 12, but once again the Eagles came roaring back, cut-ting it to six, 45-39, on a three-point goal by Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Inkster) with 11:26 left. Kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago Bartlett) would score on a lay up with 5:09 left in the game to cut the Akron lead to six, 54-48, but the Eagles would get no closer in the eventual 14-point loss.

Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 64th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Confer-ence has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the coun-try. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) con-ferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 64-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to champion-ships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Fire-stone Stadium) and baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2009 with five schools participating in bowl games – Bowling Green (Roady’s Humanitarian); Central Michigan (GMAC); Northern Il-linois (International); Ohio (Little Caesar’s Pizza) and Temple (EagleBank Bowl). This marked the second con-secutive season for the MAC to send five schools to bowl appearances and only the third time in conference his-tory (2004, 2008, 2009). The 2009 season also witnessed Central Michigan ranked No. 23 in the AP poll and No. 24 in the USA Today coaches poll at the end of the sea-son following a dramatic 44-41 2OT win over Troy in the GMAC Bowl. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten op-ponents during the regular season as Central Michigan defeated Michigan State, 29-27 at East Lansing, Mich., while Northern Illinois rolled to a 28-21 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. For the first time in its 64-year history, the MAC will have five bowl relationships--three primary and two secondary--for the next four seasons (2010-2013). The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GMAC Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has secured two secondary agreements over the next four years with the Papajohns.com Bowl (2010-2013), the Dallas Football Classic (2010 and 2012) and the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl/San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl/New Mexico Bowl (2011 and 2013). The secondary agreement with the Papajohns.com Bowl (Bir-mingham, Ala.) will see the MAC serve as the back-up to both the SEC No. 8/9 and Big East No. 5/6 selections. The MAC will serve as the second back-up in the Dallas Football Classic in 2010 and 2012, a new bowl game played in the Cotton Bowl Stadium. The Dallas Football Classic’s primary agreements are Big Ten No. 7 vs. Big 12 No. 8. The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl/Poinsettia Bowl/New Mexico Bowl secondary agreement for 2011 and 2013 is as follows: the MAC will back-up Army in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (2011) and Poinsettia Bowl (2013) with the understanding that if Army is not bowl eligible, the West-ern Athletic Conference (WAC) will vacate the New Mex-ico Bowl and provide a team to the Kraft Fight Hunger and Poinsettia Bowl. The MAC will then provide a team to the New Mexico Bowl against a team from the Mountain

West Conference (MWC). Several other milestones occurred in football last season. Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour finished his career with three MAC Championships and four consecu-tive bowl appearances and completed his career with 150 total touchdowns--most in FBS history-- and is the MAC career leader in total offensive yards, passing yards, completions, attempts and passing touchdowns. Bowl-ing Green WR Freddie Barnes led the country in recep-tions and was one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s top wide receiver. Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller won the 2009 Wuerffel Trophy, better known as the Humanitarian Heisman, giv-en annually to one football student-athlete that showed excellence athletically, academically and in giving back to the community. This past April, five MAC players were selected in the NFL Draft--Ohio WR Taylor Price (3rd round--New England); Central Michigan QB Dan LeFe-vour (6th round--Chicago); Buffalo RB James Starks (6th round--Green Bay); Central Michigan WR Antonio Brown (6th round--Pittsburgh); Kent State WR Jameson Konz (7th round--Seattle), and over 20 more were signed to free agent contracts. Finally the National Football Foun-dation recognized 13 MAC student-athletes to the 2010 Hampshire Honor Society with success both athletically and academically with a 3.20 GPA or better. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC will enter the second year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic year) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 64-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Akron continued its dominance in men’s soccer and was ranked No. 1 in the country through the entire year. The Zips won their 12th regular season championship and fell to Virginia in the NCAA College Cup Champion-ship Game. Akron coach Caleb Porter was named Na-tional Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I. Akron striker Teal Bunbury received three honors, including the 2009 Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious honor in intercol-legiate soccer, named the National Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America Player of the Year in Division I and Soc-cer America’s Player of the Year. Two Akron soccer players were selected in the top 10 of the MLS 2010 SuperDraft, including Bunbury (No. 4 overall to the Kansas City Wiz-ards) and Blair Gavin (No. 10 overall to Chivas USA). Ohio’s men’s basketball team entered the MAC tour-nament as a No. 9 seed and defeated Akron in the MAC Championship game. The Bobcats went on and de-feated No. 3 seed Georgetown in the opening round of the NCAA tournament before falling to Tennessee. Kent State was invited to the NIT and defeated Tulsa before falling to Illinois, while Akron was invited to the College Basketball Invitational. Western Michigan senior guard David Kool was named Associated Press honorable men-tion All-America, while Buffalo head coach Reggie With-erspoon was named an assistant coach for the 2010 USA

Men’s U18 National Team for USA Basketball. In wres-tling, Central Michigan won its ninth consecutive MAC championship, while the MAC sent 26 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship where six grap-plers secured All-America honors--Central Michigan’s Steve Brown (157 pounds), Ben Bennett (174), Jarod Trice (285); Kent State’s Dan Mitcheff (133) , Dustin Kilgore (185); Ohio’s Germane Lindsey (141). Eastern Michigan won its fourth consecutive championship in men’s swim-ming and diving, while Kent State won its 18th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 23rd NCAA appearance. Western Michigan made its fifth consecutive appear-ance to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament. In baseball, Kent State won the MAC championship, while Ball State had two players selected in the first two rounds of Ma-jor League Baseball’s 2010 Draft--Kolbrin Vitek (2B) first round (20th overall) to the Boston Red Sox and Perci Gar-ner (RHP) second round (77th overall) to the Philadelphia Phillies. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. For the first time in MAC history five basketball teams were invited to postseason tournaments. Bowling Green won the MAC tourney and received the invitation to the NCAA tournament, while Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Toledo all were invited to the WNIT and Akron received an invite to the Women’s Basketball Invitational. In women’s soccer, Central Michigan won the MAC cham-pionship and defeated Purdue in its first NCAA tourna-ment match in program history. Ohio won the MAC vol-leyball championship and defeated Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In women’s swim-ming and diving, Toledo won its first ever MAC champi-onship, while Buffalo’s Meili Carpenter became the first swimmer in school history to earn All-America status. Both Central Michigan and Kent State competed at the NCAA Regional Championships in gymnastics, while Kent State won its 12th consecutive women’s golf confer-ence title and advanced to the NCAA championships. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), three NFL Pro Bowlers (Cleveland KR Josh Cribbs, San Diego TE Antonio Gates, Pittsburgh LB James Harrison), British Open win-ner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series win-ning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to ex-cel in producing leaders in the world of athletics.

Some of emU’S Prominent AlUmni

Eastern Eagles Fight Song

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU.Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly,the bravest we’ll defy.... Rah,rah, rah!”

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.Sons and daughters show your might.So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

EMU Alma Mater

Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your name we shall be true.Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through,Softly floating on the breeze, verdant green with white of snow,This our banner we will carry in our hearts whe’er we go.

Go Green

Go Green, roll up the score.Go Green, let’s get some more.Raise a cheer for old Green and White.Let’s show them we came here to fight.Go Green, vic’try we’ll claim.Go Green, let’s win this game.We’ll always fight for old EMU.Come on and let’s go Green!

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

The 1987-88 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad--The first-ever NCAA Division I tournament qualifier. Front row (L-R) Lorenzo Neely, Deron Goheen, Charles Thomas, Head Coach Ben Braun, Carl Thomas, Brad Soucie and Howard Chambers. Back row (L-R) Assistant Coach Brian Miller, Assistant Coach Chris Molloy, Rick Anderson, Chuck King, Grant Long, David Clum, Paul Grazulis, Brian Nolan, Pete Pangas, Hugh Smith, Isaac Henderson, Graduate Assistant Coach Tyrone Wilson and Assistant Coach Keith Dambrot.

FIRST DANCE After recording a fourth-place finish in the Mid-American Conference in 1986-87, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team entered the 1987-88 season with hopes of challenging for the league title. The then-Hurons did indeed win the school’s first-ever MAC men’s basketball title and a whole lot more by the time the season officially came to a close, March 18, 1988, in Lincoln, Neb. Senior center Grant Long and freshman point guard Lorenzo Neely were the catalysts for an over-achieving EMU squad that won the MAC regular-season and post -season titles, while qualifying for the school’s first-ever NCAA-Division I Tournament appearance. With Long providing the inside scoring punch with a 23.2 scoring average and Neely running the offense as the point guard, the Hurons won the MAC’s regular-season title with a 14-2 record. Heading into the MAC Tournament as the No. 1 seed, the Green and White knocked off Western Michigan, 95-88, in the first round and handed Ohio University a 94-80 setback in the championship tilt. From there it was on to the Bob Devaney Sports Com-plex at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln for the NCAA regional. The No. 15-seeded Hurons squared off against the No. 2-seeded University of Pittsburgh in the first round, March 18, 1988. The Panthers, paced by the highly touted threesome of Charles Smith (31 points), Demetreus Gore (24 points) and Jerome Lane (22), knocked off the Hurons by a 108-90 count. Eastern was led by guard Brad Soucie with 26. Long, in foul trouble from the start, was limited to 15 points. Neely added 18 points. For the season, Long was named MAC Player of the Year and Neely was voted MAC Freshman of the Year.

the 1990-91 EMU Men’s Basketball squad: the first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament “Sweet 16” participant. Front row (l-r); kahlil felder, Joe frasor, von nickleberry, carl thomas, head coach Ben Braun, charles thomas, lorenzo neely, lawrence hill, roger lewis. Back row (l-r); graduate assistant coach craig rasmuson, assistant coach Brian Miller, Marcus kennedy, Pete Pangas, Mike Boykin, kory hallas, tony king, fenorris Pearson, Jeff wendt, george Dyke, chris Pipkin, assistant coach gary waters.

“On to the Sweet 16” How sweet it was! A veteran group of players proved that chemis-try is indeed important on a basketball team as the 1990-91 squad put EMU on the national basketball map with an extended run at the NCAA Champion-ship. Playing with four seniors in the starting lineup, the 1990-91 team advanced all the way to the “Sweet 16” in the NCAA tournament before falling to national power North Carolina. During that wondrous run into the third round of the NCAA tournament, the Green and White used a combination of power basketball (Marcus Kennedy), high-flying acrobatics (the Thomas twins, Carl and Charles), end-to-end action (Lorenzo Neely and Kory Hallas) and a bench that was small in numbers but big on heart (Joe Frasor and Roger Lewis) to cap-ture the nation’s imagination as a true “Cinderella” team. Eastern was able to make it to the NCAA tour-nament after winning its second Mid-American Conference regular-season and post-season titles. As MAC tournament champion, Eastern was automatically in the NCAA field of 64 and was sent to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., for the first round., seeded No. 12. Head Coach Ben Braun’s crew came up with two big wins in Syracuse. In the first game, Eastern knocked off No. 5 seed Mississippi State, 76-56, and followed that up with a 71-68 overtime win over No. 13 seed Penn State. Those victories propelled EMU into the “Sweet 16” where the No. 1 seeded Tarheels of North Carolina, turned back a charged-up EMU team, 93-67. Carl Thomas was magnificent against North Carolina, scoring 27 points in 33 minutes to earn a spot on the All-Regional team. On the year, center Kennedy was named MAC Player of the Year and joining him on the All-MAC first team was Lorenzo Neely while Carl Thomas was a second-team All-MAC pick.

The 1994-95 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad: The first-ever NIT Tournament qualifier. Front row (L-R) Derrick Dial, Timi Berkovitch, Naje McCune, Head Coach Ben Braun, Brian Tolbert, Jake Olsen, and Earl Boykins. Back row (L-R) Associate Head Coach Gary Waters, Fred Reynolds, Tony King, Nkechi Ezugwu, Theron Wilson, Mick Pennisi, James Head, Kareem Carpenter, Tad Smith, Assistant Coach Brian Miller, and Assistant Coach Kevin Heck.

HITTINg THE RoAD FoR THE NIT It just doesn’t get any more exciting than the Eagles’ first-ever appearance in the National Invita-tion Tournament (NIT) March 16, 1995. A young Eastern squad finished third in the Mid-American Conference regular season but came on strong in the league’s postseason tournament before bowing to Ball State in the championship game. With Ball State and Ohio receiving NCAA bids, the Green and White anxiously awaited a call from the NIT. Eastern got the nod from the NIT and was sent to Peoria, Illinois, to face off against the Bradley Braves. The Eagles made their first-ever NIT a memo-rable one with a heartbreaking 86-85 double-overtime loss to Bradley. With 0:34 left in regulation and trailing by three, EMU guard Brian Tolbert connected on a three-point field goal to tie it and force the first overtime. Eastern raced out to a 76-72 lead in the early stages of the first OT before Bradley rallied to tie at with 0:05 left, making a second overtime a neces-sity. The Eagles held an 85-84 lead after Theron Wilson made two free throws but Bradley won the game with 0:07 left on two free throws. Eastern had four players in double figures, led by Brian Tolbert with 23, Theron Wilson adding 20, Kareem Carpenter, 19 and Earl Boykins, 13.

The 1995-96 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad: Front row (L-R) Derrick Dial, Todd Beeton, Earl Boykins, Head Coach Ben Braun, Brian Tolbert, Timi Berko-vitch, and Tad Smith.

DoME DancE The third trip to the NCAA Tournament was a charm for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team. The 1995-96 Eagles turned in one of the most memorable seasons in school history, notching their third regular-season and postseason MAC titles and qualifying for a third appearance in the NCAA tournament. Bowen Field House was charged with elec-tricity Sunday, March 12, 1996, when the EMU squad, along with a huge group of fans and sup-porters, was on hand for the nationally televised NCAA Pairings Show. The packed house of fans roared with excite-ment and anticipation when it was announced that Eastern Michigan and Duke would be op-ponents in the Southeast Regional to be played at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Ind. The Duke Blue Devils entered the game seeded No. 8 while the underdog Eagles of Eastern Michigan were seeded No. 9. Playing before a raucous crowd of 31,373 in the RCA Dome, along with a national television audience, the Eastern backcourt tandem of Earl Boykins (23 points) and Brian Tolbert (20) domi-nated, while Derrick Dial added 12 up front to lead the Eagles to a 75-60 decision in the first round.

A TEAm oF DESTINyHEADS To CoNNECTICuT

If there was ever a team of destiny, it was the 1997-98 Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball squad. Those 1997-98 Eagles seemed to have it all. Eastern pos-sessed one of the most dynamic backcourts in the country in Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial. Add to that a veteran front line of Jon Zajac, James Head and Nkechi Ezugwu, and the Eagles were ready for postseason action. That group of four seniors, Boykins, Dial, Head and Ezugwu, had gone through the NIT wars as freshmen, and were joined by transfer Zajac in time for the NCAA Big Dance in 1995-96, where the Eagles gained a national reputation with an upset win over Duke before falling to No. 1 seed UConn. Yet, despite a brilliant 22-10 record in 1996-97, the Eagles sat home at tournament time. That postseason snub worked on the competitive egos of the Eagles and they responded with three great outings and won the Mid-American Conference post-season tournament title and the crown of MAC Champions. As the MAC representative to the NCAA Tournament, Eastern had hopes of making some noise at the dance, and when it was announced that EMU would meet Michigan State in the first-round game in Hartford, Conn., the players were excited to get a shot at the Big Ten Co-Champion Spartans. With a national television crowd watching, and a sellout crowd of 16,105 on hand in the Hartford Civic Center, the No. 13- seeded Eagles displayed the poise that they had exhibited over the past four years, racing to an early, 16-9 lead. No. 4 seeded Michigan State then went to its huge size ad-vantage and shut down the Eagles and record an 83-71 win. Dial closed out his brilliant career with a game-high 29 points to go along with eight boards while his backcourt mate, Boykins, was held to 18 points in his final game for the Eagles. Zajac added 10 points for the Eagles.

1997-98 • The senior-laden Eagles take a No. 4 seed into the MAC Tournament and capture the title and league championship for the fourth time in 11 years. Earl Boykins is named the MVP of the tournament while teammate Derrick Dial joins him on the All-Tournament team. As the MAC representative to the NCAA Tournament, the Eagles are seeded No. 13 and are sent to the East Regional in Hartford, Conn., to square off against the No. 4-seeded Michigan State Spartans. Eastern jumps out to a 16-9 lead but the Big Ten Champions fight back to record an 83-71 win. Derrick Dial pours in 29 points with Earl Boykins adding 18. The five seniors, Boykins, Dial, James Head, Nkechi Ezugwu and Jon Zajac, close out their careers with an outstanding four-year mark of 87-36, including two NCAA appearances and one NIT tourney. Boykins closes out his career as the second-leading scorer in school history with 2,211. EMU’s “Farewell to Bowen” basketball tour officially ends a 43-year run in the “Old Barn.” Boykins is recipient of the Frances X. Naismith Award as the nation’s most outstanding player under six feet tall. Boykins is also featured prominently in Sports Illustrated’s Pre-Season College Basketball edition.

Ramsey was a member of the EMU men’s basketball staff from 1990-93. He graduated from EMU in 1992.

2007-08 EMU’s 8-8 Mid-American Conference record this season is the best for the Eagles since the 1999-2000 team finished 9-9. This year’s 8-8 record also tied the Eagles for second in the MAC West Division with Central Michigan, the best finish for the Green and White since divisional play began in 1997-98.

2009-10 EMU turns in the best season in 11 years, finishing with a 17-15 overall record and an 8-8 Mid-American Conference mark, good for a tie for second in the West Division. The Eagles make it to the quarterfinal round of the FirstEnergy MAC Tournament and fall to the University of Akron, 97-89, in double overtime. EMU senior point guard Carlos Medlock and junior forward Brandon Bowdry are both named second-team All-MAC while Justin Dobbins is an honorable mention All-League performer. Medlock is also selected to the MAC All-Tournament Team after scoring an EMU MAC Tournament best 42 points in the quarterfinals.

EMU’s population is approxi-mately 70 percent white; 16 percent black; 3 percent international; 6 percent undeclared; 2.5 percent Asian-American; 2 percent Hispanic and 0.5 percent Native-American. Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Learn-ing Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; the World College Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered on site; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training through the Centers for Corporate Training; and EMU Worldwide. With more than 200 academic and social orga-nizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apart-ments and include living/learning center options.

Where We’re located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, seven miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre main campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Recently named “A Cool City,” by Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, with the passage of Act No. 138, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclu-sive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves nearly 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Faculty/staff Eastern Michigan University employs 689 full-time faculty and 1,100 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. In 2009, the Uni-versity celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate research.

community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

the alumni association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3 billion annually reflects a return of more than $30 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $115 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.25 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

“EdUCATIoN FIRST”Mission statement Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-toral programs.

We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our history When the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name has changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Educa-tion Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003) and the Student Center (2006).

the city of ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate com-munity a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 work-ers.

nPRESIdENT SUSAN MARTIN

Entering her fourth year as the pres-ident of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. susan W. Martin has made a sig-nificant impact on the campus in her short time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 161-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excel-lent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Mar-tin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni rela-tionships, comprehensive fundrais-ing and earning the public’s trust. Under Martin’s guidance in 2008, EMU was again recognized as a “Best Midwestern College” by The Princeton Review for the sixth straight year. Ad-

ditionally, for the fifth con-secutive year, The Princ-eton Review recognized Eastern’s College of Busi-ness as one of the “Best 296 Business Schools” in the nation. Eastern Michigan also was awarded a 2009 Michigan Historic Preservation Net-work’s (MHPN) Govern-ment/Institutional Award for its preservation of the University’s core historic campus. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a

professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of the mas-ter of taxation program, director of international business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and ex-

ecutive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help man-age the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-1988. Martin is chair of the State of Michi-gan Hospital Finance Authority, originally appointed by former Gov. Blanchard and then reappointed by Governors Engler and Jennifer Gra-nholm. She also was appointed by Gov. Granholm to serve as her ex-officio representative on The Detroit Medical Center Financial Emergency Task Force in 2003-2004. Martin received her doctoral de-gree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her mas-ter’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan Uni-versity in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Infor-mation Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is married and has three children.

student-athlete support services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, providing learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and sup-port. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek as-sistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and providing additional help with courses when requested.

athletic training and sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long history and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the educa-tion of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Wally Roeser and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Additionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers. Our sports medicine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilita-tion process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facilities in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

strength and conditioning The main focus of the EMU strength and conditioning program is to develop the complete student-athlete. Everything that is incorporated into the training program relates to success on the court. The program is not just about lifting weights, but rather the development of all aspects of athletic performance. These areas include speed, strength, quickness, agility, flexibility, explosion, sports nutrition and mental toughness. One of the main objectives of the program is to improve the players’ agility and speed. The goal is to develop stronger and more physical student-athletes without losing speed or flexibility. With that in mind, our staff focuses on improving strength in the “Power Zone.” Abdominal, lower back and hip strength are crucial for an athlete’s success. Increasing strength in these areas decreases the chance and severity of injury and assists in strength and power development. EMU athletes are pushed as much as possible to prepare for competition. The athletes are challenged through physically demanding and intense workouts year-round. The athletes are also challenged during each workout with some type of mental toughness/physical challenge. We train not only the physical side of the student-athlete, but also the mental and competitive side. While everyone lifts weights during the year, EMU Eagle student-athletes will also condition. This places us as one of the best conditioned teams in the country each year. Our goal is simple: Be the best conditioned/most physical team in the coun-try. A highly motivated athlete is a program’s most valuable asset. Everyone in the country works on developing their athletes from the neck down, but at EMU, our program strives for excellence both mentally and physically. Our staff works to develop long-term and short-term goals for success. We work closely with the athletes so we know exactly what they are doing and what they need to do to improve. Developing athletes is a year-round task for our strength staff. During the year, the athletes will spend almost as much time in the weight room as they do on the court. Strength and Conditioning at EMU is a full-time commitment. There is no such thing as part-time champions. EMU athletes work hard but have fun. The camaraderie and work ethic developed in the weight room carry onto the field.

The Eastern Michigan University Convoca-tion Center, in its 12th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gym-nastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for five first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tourna-ment games and two first-round game for the men’s basketball squad. The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athletics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dil-lion, Toby Keith, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z.

The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement ceremonies. Among other events that have taken place include numerous youth sporting competitions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Center staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and condi-tioning facilities and equipment rooms. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 million. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

The EMU Athletic Club provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, the EMU Athletic Club raises funds in three key areas for EMU’s 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related projects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehen-sive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uniforms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles for Excel-lence Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join the EMU Athletic Club today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
