The 2012 season marks the 12th year that veteran Detroit-area broadcaster Matt Shepard will call the action on the field for the EMU football broadcast team. Shepard first handled EMU foot-ball play-by-play duties during the 1999 season. He returned in 2002, and has held the post for nine straight seasons. A widely known football and basketball broadcaster, Shepard is the voice of University of Michigan men’s basketball as well as the morning drive host on WDFN (1130 AM) in Detroit. During his career, he has called NFL Europe games for FOX and, in 2005, Arena Football League games for Fox Sports Net and was the broadcast voice for a pair of WNBA Championships by the Detroit Shock. Shepard’s Fox Sports Detroit resume also includes extensive work as a report-er for the Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Tigers, and play-by-play work for the Michigan High School Athletic Association football state finals and the CCHA hockey television package.

chad Bushplay-by-play for Basketball, volleyball and Baseball

The 2012-13 season marks the fifth consecutive year that Chad Bush has been calling baseball, volleyball and basketball games for Eastern Michigan University. Bush received the call to broad-cast the baseball team’s 2009 Mid-American Conference Tournament run on Eagle All-Access, be-fore adding a complete schedule of volleyball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball games in 2009-10. Then prior to the 2010-11 campaign, Bush was tabbed to take over the main responsibili-ties of EMU men’s and women’s basketball on WEMU, while still working select volleyball, baseball and softball games on Eagle All-Access. Prior to joining the Green and White, Bush served from 2006 until 2009 as the broadcaster of Wayne State University football and men’s basketball. A graduate of Orchard Lake St. Mary’s High School, Bush was on the football team at Central Michigan University before transferring to WSU to finish his degree in Speech Communication.

herman Mooreanalyst for football

The 2012 season marks the first year that Herman Moore will be the color analyst for the EMU football broadcast team. This will not be Moore’s first experience behind a microphone. From 1996-98, he co-hosted a Lions radio show every Monday night in addition to appearing on local television shows on Sunday nights. He also served as a color analyst in 2007 for the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League. Moore graduated from the University of Virginia in 1990 with a degree in rhetoric and communication studies. The four-time (1994-97) NFL Pro Bowler played 11 seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he set several receiving records. The 1991 first-round draft pick (10th overall) broke an NFL record with 123 receptions in 1995, and was the second player ever (after Jerry Rice) to record three 100-recep-tion seasons. He leads the Lions in almost every historical receiving category including receptions (670), receiving yards (9,174) and receiving touchdowns (62).

of six had at least 10 starts in 2011-12 and four of the top six scorers also return for another season. Forward Jamell Harris (6-9, 201, sr.-Euclid, ohio-Euclid) led the 2011-12 Eagles in rebounding with 6.2 per game to go along with 6.3 points and the third-best blocked shot effort in the MAC at 1.3 per game. The second-leading scorer from last season, guard derek thompson (de-troit, Mich.-Melvindale) returns after averaging 7.2 points while finishing second on the team in three-point field goals made with 38 on the year. Syracuse University transfer center da’shonte riley (7-0, 233, Jr.-detroit, Mich.-country day) became eligible

to play for the Eagles after the first 10 games of the year and despite being rusty from over a year of inaction averaged 4.1 points and 4.3 rebounds and finished second on the team in blocked shots with 29 in 19 games. Other notable lettermen return-ing to the fray include guard J.r. sims (fort Wayne, ind.), center Matt Balkema (6-10, 285, sr.-roseville,Mich.-War-ren cousino), guard austin Harper (6-2, 185, Jr.-Grand haven, Mich.-grand haven-WMU-glen oaks c.c.), swing-man Anthony Strickland (6-5, 210, Jr.-so.-ypsilanti,Mich.-dearborn heights ro-bichaud-adrian) and guard Antoine Chandler (5-10, 158, So.-Windsor, Ontario, Canada-Herman Secondary). Sims finished 2011-12 with a 4.5 scoring average while Balkema averaged 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds. Harper, playing in his first year for the

Eagles after transferring from Glen Oaks C.C., averaged 2.7 points while Strickland averaged 2.3 points and 2.5 rebounds. The Eagles will be counting on the presence of three front-court transfers to help make the Green and White a strong contender for the 2012-13 MAC title. Two of those transfers, glenn Bry-ant (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) practiced with the team last year while sitting out their transfer season and should make an immediate impact on the floor. The third transfer, James Still (6-10, 205, Jr.-detroit, Mich.-comminity-henry ford c.c.), enjoyed an out-standing high school career at Detroit Community before playing at Provi-dence College as a freshman two years ago. He was an All-Region performer at Henry Ford C.C. in Dearborn, Mich. last year and joined EMU this summer. In addition to the transfer group, Murphy and his staff added two very talented freshmen to the roster this past year. Freshmen guards Ray Lee (6-3, 170-detroit, Mich.-romulus) and Jalen Ross (5-11, 176-Greensboro, N.C.-greensboro day school) turned in exceptional high school careers. Lee was ranked as the 19th best point guard in the country by Scout.com and

Eastern Michigan University Head Men’s Basketball Coach rob Murphy has his Eagles prepared to continue the success that began in his first year at the helm. Murphy, who took over the head coaching duties in April 21, 2011, saw his first team picked to finish sixth in the Mid-American Conference West Division. Murphy and the Eagles surprised everyone, however, with a 9-7 league record on the way to capturing the school’s first-ever MAC West Division championship. Along the way Murphy was reward-ed for his success by being named the MAC Coach of the Year as well as the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Co-Coach of the Year for District 14 in Division I. To make the immediate future bright for Murphy and the Eagles is the fact that eight lettermen return to go along with four talented transfers and two outstanding freshman recruits. Of the eight lettermen back, a total

Eastern will play five teams that par-ticipated in the NCAA Tournament last season (defending national champion Kentucky, Syracuse, Michigan, Ohio, and Purdue) and seven others that competed in other post-season events (Buffalo, Toledo, Kent State, Bowling Green, Akron, UMass, and Oakland). “Not every school gets an opportuni-ty to play the reigning national champs so the Kentucky game is a great one for our program,” Murphy said. “Getting a chance to play the best competition along with a program with so much tradition is what most players dreams of.” Included in the 2012-13 home sched-ule is an appearance by Big Ten Confer-ence power Purdue as well as the inau-gural “EMU Ice Man Classic”, named for Eastern Michigan Hall of Fame player and NBA great george gervin. “The “Ice Man” Classic will be a great tournament to kick-off our season,” said Murphy, the 2011-12 MAC Coach of the Year. “We look forward to Mr. Gervin’s return to the Convocation Center along with our students, fans and community.” Eastern is slated to open the 2012-13 season with a home exhibition game against the University of Michigan-Dearborn on Nov. 2. After that exhibition tilt the Eagles move right into regular-season action, host-ing the first-ever EMU “Ice Man Classic”, Nov. 16-18 at the Convocation Center.

HEAD COACH ROB MURPHY

title in 1997-98. We feel that his ex-perience with outstanding teams has prepared him for this opportunity.” Murphy took over the EMU job with a strong understanding of high school basketball in the state of Michigan. He spent six years coaching in the Detroit Public School League (1996-2002), four as the head boys basketball coach at Detroit Crockett Technical High School. He led Crockett to the Class B State Championship in 2000-01. A graduate of Central State Univer-sity in Wilberforce, Ohio, 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 Uni-versity 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 assistant for the Golden Flashes, Murphy joined Head Coach Jim Boe-heim’s Syracuse University men’s bas-ketball 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 attended Mumford High School where he let-tered in both football and basketball, earning All-State honors in football. He and his wife. TeNesha, have one son, Robert II (5) and a daughter, Ryann (2).

Rob Murphy put an instant mark on the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball program in the 2011-12 season, his first as the head coach. Named to the position April 21, 2011, Murphy and his staff worked tirelessly in the pre-season and when the dust had settled at the end of the 2011-12 season, the Eagles found themselves on top of the Mid-American Conference West Division, the first-ever division title for EMU. And while that sudden success was a pleasant surprise for EMU fans, it left Murphy and his staff ready for bigger and better results in 2012-13. For his efforts in leading the team to that West championship, Murphy was named MAC Coach of the Year while also earning Co-Coach of the Year honors in the NCAA District 14 Division I ranks by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). EMU Director of Athletics, Dr. Derrick Gragg, had this to say about Murphy when he was named head coach: “We are excited about having Rob Murphy leading our men’s basketball program into the future. 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, leading 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

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.

At Detroit, Mondro worked pri-marily with the Titans’ perim-eter players and his influence helped current Philadelphia 76ers guard Willie Green earn Horizon League Player of the Year accolades in 2003. In addition to his on-the-court coaching, Mondro played an active role in scouting and in scheduling, while also serving as the staff’s recruit-ing coordinator and director of the Perry Watson Basketball Camp. Mondro left De-troit after the 2007-08 season to join the Loyola (Chi-cago) University men’s basketball staff as an assistant coach. Mondro had a tremendous im-pact on the Loyola program during his three seasons on the staff, coaching two of the top play-ers ever to wear the Maroon and Gold - J.R. Blount and

Andy Polka. During his tenure, Loyola recorded 44 total wins, and the Ramblers graduated each of its seniors during that stretch. 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.

Kevin Mondro is in his first year as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Eastern Michigan University. He was named to the post, June 1, 2011.

MEn’s hOOPs OPEns With ExhiBitiOn WinRob Murphy Era Starts with a flourish

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team officially opened the Rob Murphy Era with a convincing 81-55 win over a visiting Earlham College team here Sunday, Oct. 29, in an exhibition game in the Convocation Center. Murphy was named EMU’s head coach, April 21, 2011, and Sunday’s exhibition was the first outing for the 2011-12 Eagles and his team was strong on both ends of the court, shooting 54.4 percent from the field, hitting 31-of-57 field goal attempts while holding Earlham to just 38.3 percent from the field while forcing 19 turnovers. Offensively, EMU had four players in double figures with senior guard Antonio Green (Ink-ster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) leading the way with 17 points, followed by transfer guard Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) with 15, junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) and junior forward Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) with 13 each. Junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) scored nine points with a team-best eight rebounds. Earlham was led by Justin Barger and Ryan Taylor with 11 points each. The Eagles raced out to a quick 10-2 lead in the game’s first four minutes with Thompson scoring five of those points. Eastern slowly and methodically boosted its lead to 18, 27-9, with 7:34 left in the first half when transfer guard Harper connected on a layup plus foul shot. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, New Jersey-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) would boost EMU’s advantage to 26, 41-15, on a spinning drive to the hoop at the 3:01 mark left in the half. The visitors would cut it to 20 with just three seconds left when Josh Green fired in a long jump to make it 46-26 heading into the locker room. Thompson and Green led the first-half charge with 11and 10 points respectively while Green also added five rebounds. Justin Barger paced the visitors with nine. The Eagles came out of halftime intermission on fire both offensively and defensely, scor-ing 21 points in the first 10 minutes of the second stanza while holding the Quakers to just seven. Murphy was able to substitute freely over the final eight minutes as EMU posted the 81-55 victory. EMU will have one more exhibition, Monday, Nov. 7, against Marygrove College before opening the regular seaswon Friday, Nov. 11, at home against the University of illinois-Chicago at 7 p.m.

EMU MEn’s hOOPs clOsEs ExhiBitiOn sEasOn With WinEagles now prepare for regular-season opener at home against UIC

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team closed out its 2011-12 exhibition season with an 85-51 win over a visiting Marygrove team here Monday night, Nov. 7, in the Convocation. That exhibition victory was the second in a row for the Eagles and new first-year Head Coach Rob Murphy’s squad will get ready to open the regular-season schedule Friday night, Nov. 11, right here in the Convocation Center against the University of Illinois Flames. Game time is set for 7 p.m. In Monday’s exhibition, EMU had four players in double figures with junior forward Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) and redshirt sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Ft. Wayne, Ind.-Snider) scored 15 points each while junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) had 11 and redshirt sophomore Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud-Adrian College) tallied 10. Senior forward kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago Bartlett) scored eight points with a game-high 13 rebounds. The Eagles shot 56.7 percent from the field, making 34-of-60 while limiting Marygrove to just 29.1 percent on 16-of-55. EMU held a 42-29 advantage on the boards. Marygrove was paced by freshman guard Darryll Dixon with 16 points. Eastern jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the game’s opening stages on lay-ups by anto-nio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) and Balkema. The visitors would erase that early deficit, however, gaining an 11-8 lead at the 14:43 mark on a triple by Dixon. The Eagles came back to tie the game at 11-all on a Sims lay-up with 13:59 followed im-mediately by an Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) lay-up and the home squad continued to build on that slim lead, taking a 34-24 advantage heading into halftime. Balkema led the way in the first half with 10 points while Strickland added eight and Sims six. The Eagles shot 53.6 percent in the first 20 minutes, making 15-of-28 shots while holding the Mustangs to 36 percent on 9-of-25 from the field. Eastern had 17 first-half boards to 15 for Marygrove. The Eagles opened the second half with a flourish, running off four answered points to take a 43-29 lead and boosted that to 18 points with 16:57 left on two quick threes from Sims. From that point, Eastern would methodically boost its advantage to 25, 74-49, with 3:49 left and cruise to the 85-51 victory.

EMU STARTS ROB MURPHY ERA WITH WIN OVER UIC, 68-57Eagles rally in the second half of the season openerYPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Rob Murphy era of Eastern Michigan Univer-sity men’s basketball had a rousing start as the Eagles recorded a 68-57 non-conference win over the University of Illinois-Chicago here Friday, Nov. 11, in the Convocation Center. Murphy, who was named EMU’s head coach April 21, rallied from seven points down mid-way through the second half to out-score UIC, 33-16, over the game’s final 12 minutes to gain the victory. The Eagles had three players in double figures, led by junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) with 17 followed by senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) with 12 and junior forward Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) with 10. Senior forward Kamil Janton (Tarnow, Poland-Chicago Bartlett) added seven points with seven rebounds. UIC was led by forward Paris Cotton with 19 points and 11 rebounds while Daniel Barnes added 10. Eastern shot 46.2 percent for the game, hitting 24-of-52 shots while holding UIC to just 39.6 percent on 21-of-53. The Eagles also won the battle of the boards, 37-34. The Eagles scored first on a lay-up by Balkema and for the next seven minutes the two teams traded baskets before EMU went on a mini-run, taking an 18-11 lead at the 8:50 mark on a jumper by Thompson. The visitors came back from that deficit to take a one-point lead, 19-18, with 5:42 left when Matt Bush hit a long three-point field goal from the right baseline. The teams once again traded points through the final stages of the first half before a Barnes jumped with 53.2 cut the EMU lead to 27-26, the final points of the half. Thompson paced the Eagles in the first 20 minutes with eight points while Barnes, who began his collegiate career at EMU as a freshman before transferring, had seven for the Flames. UIC came out of halftime on fire, racing to a 31-27 lead in the first two minutes and built their advantage to seven, 38-31, with 16:42 on a triple by Barnes from the top of the circle. Eastern turned up both their offensive and defensive efforts at that point, out-scoring the visitors 14-7, over the next seven minutes to knot the score at 45-all on a free throw by Thompson at the 9:04 mark. The Eagles would continue to keep its offense rolling, building a six-point lead, 59-53, with 3:48 left when Thompson made a twisting put-back lay-up off an Anthony Strickland (Yp-silanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud-Adrian College) miss. UIC would pull within four, 59-55, with 3:14 left on two free throws by Marc Brown, but the Flames would get no closer as the Eagles built the lead to double digits at the end. Eastern will now travel to Houston, Texas Tuesday, Nov. 15, to square off against Texas Southern University in a Auto Owners Spartan Invitational game.

EMU rEcOrDs rOaD Win at iUPUiEagles go to 3-1 with 66-64 win in The Jungle

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team made it two straight wins and its first on the road in the third-of-four games of the Auto-Owners Spartan Invitational Sunday afternoon, Nov. 20, with a 66-64 victory at IUPUI. The Eagles put four players in double figures including senior Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.), who led the way with 16 points. Eastern Michigan held off a feisty Jaguars team in a game which saw 12 lead changes. Following a seemingly comfortable 12-4 lead to begin the game, IUPUI fought back and took the lead for a short while prior to halftime. In the second half, the two teams traded the lead numerous times before EMU went ahead for good with 1:06 remaining on an An-tonio Green free throw. The Eagles (3-1) shot 21-of-41 (51.2 percent) on the day, with Lampley (16 points), an-tonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) (14), junior Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) (13) and redshirt sophomore J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snid-er) (11) all reaching double figures. From the line, EMU shot at a solid 21-of-30 (70 percent) clip. Junior Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) and Green were sharp on the boards as well, grabbing nine and seven rebounds, respectively. Despite putting up 64 points, the Jaguars struggled offensively at times, shooting just 31.1 percent on 19-of-61 attempts. Alex Young was the leading scorer in the game with 21 points on 7-of-22 shooting. He also notched a double-double by hauling in a game-best 14 boards. Eastern Michigan took charge early in the contest with a 12-4 run. Balkema contributed six of those points through the first 5:02 of action. The second half began ominously for the Eagles, as a 7-1 Jaguars’ run gave them a 32-29 lead before Lampley drilled a three-pointer and filled a layup in consecutive possessions to put the Eagles back ahead, 34-32, with 17:25 to play. The Green and White led by one, 57-56, with 2:36 to play before Sims stretched the mar-gin to three points with a floater that found the basket. However, the Jaguars quickly re-sponded as Ian Chiles sunk a layup and converted on his free throw off a foul on the initial shot to tie the game, 59-59. With 18 seconds to play and EMU up one, 62-61, Kamil Janton fought his way under the rim and put in a layup on a nice pass from Lampley at the top of the arc. Lampley would seal the game with a pair of free throws as the Eagles ended the game 66-64 winners. The Eagles return to the Convocation Center Wednesday, Nov. 23, for a Thanksgiving eve contest with Rochester College. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. Wednesday’s game is not part of the Spartan Invitational.

EMU Falls tO Michigan statESpartans win in first-ever Convocation Center visit

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team could not overcome an early cold-shooting effort, falling to the Michigan State Uni-versity Spartans, 72-40, here Sunday, Nov. 27, in the Convocation Center in an Auto-Owners Spartan Invitational game. For the Spartans it was their first-ever visit to the Convocation Center and was also the last of four games for each team as part of the invitational hosted by Michigan State. Michi-gan State finshed 4-0 in the invitational while EMU was 2-2. The loss leaves EMU with a 4-2 overall record while MSU improves to 4-2. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles shot just 20 percent in the first half, making 6-of-30 shots, to fall behind 25-13 at intermission. Eastern picked up the offensive pace in the second 20 minutes, making 10-of-26 field goal attempts, but it was too little too late in the setback. The Eagles finished the game shooting 28.6 percent, making 16-of-56 field goals while MSU was connecting on 28-of-58 for 48.3 percent. The Spartans dominated the boards, 49-29. Redshirt sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) led the Eagles with 14 points while redshirt sophomore guard Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Ha-ven-Glen Oaks C.C.) added six. Junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) scored four points with seven rebounds and four blocked shots. Draymond Green led the Spartans with a double-double, scoring 14 points with 13 re-bounds while Adreian Payne added 12 points and eight boards and Keith Appling scored 11. Junior forward Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) hit the game’s first basket on a layup, but the Spartans jumped to a 10-2 lead with 13:23 left in the half on a layup by Payne. The visitors gained a double-digit lead, 14-4, at the 11:05 mark on a jumper by Austin Thornton and finished the first half with a 25-13 advantage. After that tough first half the Eagles managed to put some offense on the board early in the second half, scoring 10 points in the first five minutes, but the closest the home squad would get in that stretch was 13,35-22, at the 15:13 mark. The Spartans would up their advantage to 32, 59-27, with 5:58 and they would cruise the rest of the game. The schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Eagles with a nine-game road stretch on the agenda, starting with a Nov. 29 non-league game against the Syracuse University Orange in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y.

Despite holding Syracuse to just 32 first-half points in Head Coach Rob Murphy’s first return to Syracuse since taking the head job at EMU, it was a 52-point outburst from the Orange in the second half that proved to be too much for the Eagles as they fell, 84-48.

Syracuse shot 13-of-30 from beyond the arc in the game, good for a .433 percent. The Green and White jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead but a pair of buckets gave the Orange a 5-2 lead. Eastern went shot-for-shot with Syracuse until the 7:44 mark when things were tied at 21 points apiece. The Orange went on an 11-3 run to close out the half, giving them an eight-point, 32-24, lead at the break.

Eastern opened up by hitting the first two buckets of the game, as Lampley hit a three-ball and Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) hit a mid-range jumper to give EMU a 5-0 lead. The five-point difference ignited an 11-0 run for Colgate, giving them an 11-5 lead, which they never relinquished throughout the rest of the half, leading 29-27 at the break. Eastern shot .323 from the floor, while the Raiders were .545 shooting the in the opening half. Lampley was the only Eagle in double-digits with 11 points, while Colgate's Moore had all 14 of his points in the first 20 minutes of play.

EMU DROPS 66-53 DECISION AT DRAKELampley’s 20 and Thompson’s 18 not enough for the Eagles

DES MOINES, Iowa (EMUEagles.com) —The Eastern Michigan University men’s basket-ball team dropped a road contest, 66-53, at the Knapp Center on the campus of Drake University Thursday, Dec. 8. Despite shooting .625 from the three-point line in the first half, the Eagles didn’t have enough fire-power to take down the Bulldogs. Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) paced the Eastern Michigan offense with 20 points, while Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State) notched a season-high 18 points of his own, going 6-of-10 from three-point land. Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) led EMU on the glass as he snatched nine rebounds for the Eagles. Eastern shot .400 percent from the floor, going 18-for-45 and .500 from the three-point line, making 7-of-14 attempts. Drake had three men in double-figures with Ben Simons leading the way with 16 points. Jeremy Jeffers and Jordan Clarke added 11 and 13, respectively. EMU won the rebound battle, 31-30. Drake opened up the scoring by jumping out to an early 4-0 lead. It took Eastern nearly four minutes to pick up points when Lampley hit an 18-foot jumper at the 16:24 mark to spark a nine-point Eagles’ run, making it 9-2 in favor of the Green and White. Lampley went three-for-three with seven points during that run. The Bulldogs responded by grabbing the next five points, to tie the game up at nine points apiece, however, Thompson hopped off the bench to hit a trio of three-point buckets putting EMU up 18-11.Thompson continued his hot-shooting ways by hitting another trey to put EMU up 23-17 with just over two minutes remaining in the half. After trading buckets through the end of the half, the Eagles went into the locker room lead-ing 27-24. Drake opened the second half with an eight-point run taking a 32-27 lead in the first three minutes of play. Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud-Adrian) opened up the scoring for Eastern with a drive to the lane, picking up the Eagles first bucket of the half at the 16:04 mark. The Eagles were unable to hit another shot until Thompson knocked down another one from beyond the arc making it 35-32 with the Bulldogs on top. Drake then went on a 7-3 run to take a 42-35 lead with just under 10 minutes left in the game. A three-ball brought the Eagles to within four, 47-43 with just over four minutes left in the game, leading Eastern and Drake to trade buckets until the Bulldogs took an 11 point lead with two minutes left. The home team was able to extend their lead to 13 on last minute free-throws and took the game 66-53. The Eagles continue their nine-game road swing with a trip to West Lafayette, Ind. to take on Big Ten Conference opponent, Purdue University, Dec. 10. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. at Mackey Arena in a game to be televised on the Big Ten Network.

WEst laFayEttE, ind. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped a road non-conference matchup with the Purdue Boilermak-ers (9-2) here Saturday, Dec. 10, at Mackey Arena. Despite trailing just seven at the half, 29-22, the Eagles (4-6) struggled from the floor shooting 5-of-19 in the second half which led to the 61-36 loss on the road. That point total was the lowest for an EMU team since EMU opened the 1956-57 season with a 54-34 home loss to Hope College, Dec. 5, 1956. At Purdue the Eagles were led by Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-Southeast Missouri State) after he dropped 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting, while pull-ing down seven rebounds. Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan (Wyo.) J.C.) chipped in with six points. Leading the attack on the glass for the Green and White was Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) with eight rebounds. Harris added eight points and four blocks for Eastern. As a team, the Eagles shot 13-of-42 from the floor, good for a .309 percent. Robbie Hummel was the offensive catalyst for the Boilermakers with 13 points, while Terone Johnson notched nine. On the glass, Hummel led Purdue with eight rebounds. The home team shot 20-for-55 from the field and 9-of-28 from beyond the arc. Despite quickly falling behind by an 8-0 run, the Eagles were able to use a pair of three-pointers to pull within three, 13-10, at the 11:44 mark of the opening half. EMU and Purdue continued to trade buckets through much of the half, until the Boilermakers went on an 8-2 run to take a 26-17 lead over Eastern with 4:31 remaining. The Eagles continued to fight bringing the game to within seven, 29-22 at the half. The Boilermakers opened up the scoring in the second half with a quick three-pointer to give Purdue a 10-point, 32-22 lead. Ryne Smith widened the lead for the home squad by knocking down a trio of free-throws, putting the Boilermakers up 35-23. Purdue con-tinued to extend their lead as the Boilermakers took advantage of Eastern’s shooting woes. EMU was unable to convert on a field goal attempt in the first 8:48 on the second half. Purdue took a 15-point lead, 42-27 as the Eagles went 1-for-11 from the floor to start the half. After trailing by as many as 26, the Green and White could not surmount the comeback necessary, falling 61-36.

EMU rEcOrDs rOaD Win at raDFOrDEagles snap five-game losing streak with 52-48 victory

RADFORD, Va. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team used a strong second-half shooting effort to snap a five-game losing streak and post a 52-48 road win against the Radford University Highlanders here Tuesday, Dec. 20, in a non-conference game played in Dedmon Center. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles, now 5-6 on the season, came back from a 21-all halftime tie to hit six three-point field goals in the second half on the way to the win over Radford, now 3-10 on the season. Eastern built a six-point second-half lead with 43.9 seconds left and made some crucial foul shots down the stretch to preserve the win. Senior Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan C.C.) led the Eagles with a career-high 13 points, including making 3-of-4 triples, two straight during a key stretch midway in the second half. The Eagles finished the game shooting 41 percent from the field, making 16-of-39 and shot a blistering 46.7 from beyond the three-point arc, making 7-of-15. Eastern also had a strong effort from the free-throw line, making 13-of-17. Eastern also held a 32-28 rebound edge. Radford shot just 32.1 percent, making 17-of-53 field goals and just 8-of-27 triple tries. The Highlanders had two 18-point scorers in the game with both Jareal Smith and RJ Price hitting that mark. The game marked the debut of 7-foot center Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day-Syracuse) who was playing his first game as an Eagle after being granted an NCAA eligibility waiver after transferring from Syracuse University this fall. He scored eight points with four rebounds in his EMU opener. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) put the Eagles on the board first with two free throws at the 19:29 mark. Riley made the most of his first jumper for the Eagles, connecting on an eight-foot bank shot at the 15:28 mark and he would add another short banker at 14:31 to give the Eagles an 8-7 lead. The home squad would build a five-point lead, 21-16, on Smith’s second three-point field goal of the half, but the Eagles would fight back to tie it at 21-all on a triple by Dailey at the 2:17 mark. Radford would open the second half out-scoring the Eagles, 10-6, to gain a four-point lead, 31-27, at the 13:53 mark, but two free throws and two triples by Dailey put the Eagles on top, 33-31, at the 12:08 mark of the second half. EMU would go on to slowly build a six-point lead, 46-40, with 43.9 left and saw its advantage dip to two twice in the late going before holding on for the four-point win.

Green led all scorers in the first 15 minutes with eight while Lampley’s three topped the Eagle effort. The Hokies began the second half much like the first ended, on a 6-0 run for a 33-9 lead before Lampley finally broke a 11:54 scoreless drought going all the way back to the 11:22 mark of the first half with two free throws. Green would then hit a long three and a 12-foot jumper to put a little life back into the EMU offense, making it 45-20 with 13:10 left in the game. The Hokies would build a 27-point lead, 61-34, with 5:31 left, but the Eagles managed to cut it to 21, 71-50, at the end. The Eagles will now have a short break before heading to California, Dec. 29-30, to play in the Carrier Classic in Santa Clara. Eastern will meet host Santa Clara University in the first game, Dec. 29.

Junior center Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) scored nine points for EMU.

The Eagles would chip away at that deficit, cutting it to three, 13-10, on a layup by redshirt sophomore Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) with 10:21 left in the first half. The Broncos would rally from that point, increasing its lead to 13, 23-10, with 3:55 left on a layup by Foster. but the Eagles fought backto cut it to seven at the half, 25-18, after out-scoring the Broncos, 8-2 over the final 1:19.

Santa Clara would come out of intermission on fire, hitting the first seven points for a 32-18 lead before senior guard Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheri-dan C.C.) quieted that run on a tip. The Eagles would creep as close as 11 points, 36-25, on a three from Lampley with 14:07 left in the contest, but the home squad would boost its margin back up to 15 midway through the half and would continue to build on that advantage the rest of the game.

EaglEs DrOP lOW-scOring tilt tO air FOrcEEMU scores just 37 points in Cable Car Classic setback

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team lost a low-scoring contest to Air Force here Friday, Dec. 30, in the consolation game of the Cable Car Classic in SCU’s home court, the Leavey Center. Both squads played tight zone defenses and patient offense and the Falcons of Air Force proved to be more adept, recording a 42-37 victory over EMU. Air Force built a late eight-point lead, 40-32, with 3:27 left in the game, but the Eagles came up with a furious comeback, cutting the deficit to three, 40-37, with 38.1 seconds left but a series of EMU field-goal attempts fell short. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles, now 5-9, on the year, were led by antonio green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) and Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) with nine points each while Harris added nine rebounds and Green had eight boards. Air Force, now 7-4 on the year, was paced by Todd Fletcher with 18 points. EMU shot just 37.5 from the field, making 15-of-40 shots while Air Force was only at 31.9, hitting 13-of-41. Eastern won the battle of the boards, 30-27. The Eagles turned in a solid offensive effort in the first half and opened up with a quick 10-5 lead through the first seven minutes with Green scoring five of those points. Eastern would build its lead to seven, 20-13, at the 3:29 mark on a long bank shot by Green, but the Falcons would score the final five points of the first half to cut EMU’s halftime lead to two, 20-18. EMU would shot a hot 50 percent in the first 20 minutes, making 9-of-18 field-goal attempts while holding Air Force to just 35 percent on 7-of-20 attempts. The Eagles held a slim 12-10 edge in rebounding. Air Force opened the second half on a three from the top of the circle, giving the Falcons a quick one-point lead at 21-20 and would methodically build their lead to four, 26-22, taking advantage of some sloppy ball handling by the Eagles. The Falcons would continue to take charge on offense, combining steals with poor EMU shooting to go on top by 10, 35-25, with 7:31 left. The Eagles went to the full-court pressure over the game’s final seven minutes and man-aged to cut their deficit to four, 40-36, with 1:29 left on a jumper by senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.). Lampley would add the second of two free throws with 38.1 seconds to cut the Air Force lead to three, 40-37, with just 38.1 left, but the Eagles would get no closer.

EMU OPEns Mac sEasOn With rOaD Win at niULampley leads Eagles with 16

DeKALB, ILL. (EMUEagles.com) — Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) made six straight free throws in the final 1:34 to boost the Eastern Michi-gan University men’s basketball team to a 47-40 win over Northern Illinois University here Saturday, Jan. 7, in the Convocation Center in the 2012 Mid-American Conference opener for both teams. Holding a slim 41-40 lead with 2:23 left in the game, the EMU defense held the Huskies scoreless the rest of the way and NIU, forced to foul Lampley to get the ball back, saw the 5-foot-10 Eagles’ point guard make all six of his charity tosses on the way to a 16-point performance. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles, now 6-9 overall and 1-0 in league action, shot just 36.1 percent from the field, making 13-of-36 attempts, but shot a blistering 79.2 percent from the free throw line, making 19-of-24. NIU, now 1-12 overall and 0-1 in the MAC, was held to just 29.2 percent shooting from the field on 14-of-48 attempts and the Eagles turned the Huskies over a whopping 18 times. NIU did win the battle of the boards, 31-29. The Huskies were led in scoring by Tim Toler with 11. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day-Syracuse University) opened the game with two quick buckets and the Eagles made eight of their first 12 field goal at-tempts to forge a 19-10 lead in the first nine minutes of the game. The EMU offense cooled at that point and Northern was able to out-score the Eagles, 12-0, over the next six minutes to take their first lead of the game, 20-19, with 5:13 left on two free tosses by Toler. The Eagles finally broke a seven-minute scoring drought on two free throws by Lam-pley to take a 21-20 lead with 4:46 left in the half. Zach Miller would hit his second three-point field goal of the half to boost NIU to a 26-22 lead with 1:01 left and the Huskies would head to intermission with a 26-23 lead. After scoring 19 minutes in the first nine minutes the Eagles would score just four more the remainder of the half, making 8-of-19 field goals. The Eagles came out of halftime fired up, out-scoring the Huskies by a 11-3 count in the first five minutes to go up by five, 34-29. NIU would go to the long ball at that point, with Toler and Tony Nixon firing home triples to put NIU back on top, 35-34, with 13:22 left. The action would slow considerably over the next several minutes with Eastern hold-ing a two-point lead, 37-35, wth 8:58 left. The Eagles would not relinquish that lead the rest of the way, with Lampley finishing things off by making all six of his free throwns during that final 1:34. EMU ends a 45-day road streak Wednesday, Jan. 11, with a MAC contest against in-state rivial Central Michigan University. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Convocation Center.

EMU FALLS AT HOME TO CENTRAL MICHIGAN, 60-56 Chippewas rally in the second half to knock off the Eagles

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A strong second-half effort by Central Michigan University was too much for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team to overcome in a 60-56 loss to the Chippewas here Wednesday, Jan. 11, in the Convocation Center in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. Central came back from a 25-19 halftime deficit to take a late seven-point lead with 2:34 left in the game, but the Eagles would not quit, cutting the deficit to two, 58-56, with 11.6 seconds left on a layup by freshman guard Antoine Chandler (Windsor, Ont., Canada-W.F. Herman). Eastern then fouled guard Austin McBroom and the Chippewa guard made both free throws and the Eagles could not answer as Central walked off with the four-point win. Eastern, now 6-10 overall and 1-1 in the MAC, had four players in double figures, led by junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) with 12 points while senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) with 11 and guards aus-tin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) and Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) scored 10 each. Central Michigan, which improves to 7-8 overall and 2-0 in the MAC, was led by Derek Jackson with 15, Austin McBroom with 13 and Trey Zeigler with 11 points. The Eagles shot 42.9 percent from the field, making 21-of-49 shots while CMU was held to 39.2 percent, making 20-of-51 attempts. EMU won the battle of the boards, 35-30, but Central won the free-throw contest, making 13-of-21 while EMU made 10-of-15. The Eagles raced to a 6-1 lead in the first three minutes on a jumper from Lampley, a layup from Harper and two free throws from Harris. The Eagles would crank up the offense over the final three minutes, building a 25-17 lead with 57.8 left on a monster dunk by Harris, but CMU would close out the first-half scoring on a hook by Zach Saylor to make it 25-19 EMU’s lead. Central came out of halftime and made up the deficit in the first three minutes, tying the game at 25-all at the 18:21 mark. CMU would build up a 45-38 lead with 8:36 left on a long three at the shot-clock buzzer by Jackson. The Eagles would fight back to cut the Chippewa lead two, 50-48, on a triple by Lampley with 4:17 left, but Jackson would hit a huge three for CMU at the 2:34 mark to put CMU up, 55-48. A layup by Green with 38.9 seconds left would pull the Eagles within four, 56-52, but the Eagles were forced to foul the rest of the way and the visitors made their free throws to record the 60-56 win. The Eagles will stay in MAC West Division play Saturday, Jan. 14, when they travel to Mun-cie, Ind. for a 2 p.m. game against the Ball State University Cardinals.




grEEn ‘s last-sEcOnD thrEE lEaDs EaglEs tO WinThree-point shot with 1.5 seconds left is the game winner

MUNCIE, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) —Senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dear-born Heights Robichaud) buried a three-point field goal from the top of the arc with just 1.5 seconds left to break a 48-all tie and give the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team a 51-48 win over the Ball State University Cardinals here Saturday, Jan. 14, afternoon in a Mid-American Conference West Division game in Worthern Arena. The Cardinals took a five-point lead down the stretch, but senior guard Quintin Dai-ley (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan C.C.) three-point stroke pulled Eastern within two, 48-46. Dailey then evened things up with a pair of free ones, making it 48-48 with a minute and a half to play. Ball State took a timeout with 42.4 seconds left, but Eastern’s stingy defense held the Cardinals scoreless on their final possession, setting EMU up with the final play of the game. Green hit his three-ball with just 1.5 seconds remaining to give the Eagles the 51-48 victory. Dailey led the Eagles’ offense with 13 points while Green chipped in with 11 points of his own. Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) notched nine points with four assists, while Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) was the catalyst on the boards, hauling in eight caroms to lead Eastern. EMU used a 57.9 shooting percent-age in the second half to give the Eagles their second MAC win of the season. Despite losing the opening tip the Eagles were able to jump out to an early 4-0 lead on a pair of two-point buckets by Harris and Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lake-land C.C.). The first 10 minutes of the opening half proved to be a struggle offensively for both teams as they combined for just 14 points, with EMU leading 8-6. Eastern was able to extend its lead to seven, 13-6, with a Green three pointer. The Car-dinals clawed back to within one, 13-12, on a dunk by Jarrod Jones. Harper broke a five-minute scoring drought at the 4:31 mark with a layup to bring the Green and White to within five points, 20-15. The Eagles and Cardinals traded buckets through the remainder of the half, with BSU leading 27-21 at the break. Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Detroit Country Day-Syracuse) opened up the second half scoring, cutting the deficit to four, 27-23 on an inside post move and Harris brought Eastern to within two, 27-25, on a put-back dunk with 17:15 remaining. The Cardinals would respond with their first three-point bucket of the game, extending their lead to 30-25. After the Eagles cut the lead to three, Randy Davis hit his second consecutive three-ball giving BSU a 33-27 edge. Eastern went on a 5-0 run to bring them within three, 35-32 after Harper knocked down a trey and Green hit a mid-range jumper. EMU and Ball State swapped buckets back and forth through most of the second half as the Eagles trailed 42-36 with 6:44 remaining in the game. Dailey was able to cut the Cardinal lead to four, 45-41 with a tip-in, prompting J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) to hit a pair of free throws making it 45-43.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — It was a battle for first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division here Wednesday, Jan. 18, in the Convocation Center and the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team came up with a hard-fought 62-59 thrilling win in overtime. The two teams combined to put on an entertaining show for the fans and in the end it was some great clutch shooting by both teams and hard-nosed defense and strong foul shooting down the stretch that helped Eastern record the win. Senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) hit a long three from the top of the arc with just 4.6 seconds left in regulation to give Eastern a 53-50 lead. Western's Nate Hutcheson answered with a three from deep in the right corner at the buzzer to tie it at 53-all, forcing the overtime period. Eastern would go up by four, 59-55, with 1:20 left in overtime, but Matt Stainbrook would cut it to one, 59-58 with 1:06 left on a three-point play the old-fashioned way, making a layup and adding the foul shot on the play. Junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) would then make the second of two free throws to put the Eagles up by two, 60-58, with 41.9 seconds remaining in over-time. Green would then get another chance to put it out of reach, making both ends of a two-shot foul for a 62-58 EMU lead with just 17.9 left. Western's Demetrius Ward would then split two free throws, making the first and missing the second to cut it to three, 62-59, with nine seconds left. Eastern rebounded the miss but the Broncos forced a turnover, giving the visitors one more chance to tie it. This time around Western's Hutcheson’s three-point chance at the buzzer was off line, giving Eastern the three-point victory. Green led the Eagles, now 8-10 overall and 3-1 in the MAC, with 11 points while red-shirt sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Ft, Wayne, Ind.-Snider) added 10 and sophomore guard Austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.) had three points with seven assists while celebrating his 21st birthday. Harris added 10 rebounds for the Eagles. Western, now 8-10 overall and 2-2 in MAC action, was led by Hutcheson with a game-high 23 while Stainbrook added 12. The Eagles will stay at home in MAC West Division play Saturday, Jan. 21, when they host the University of Toledo in a 2 p.m. game in the Convocation Center.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basket-ball team kept a share of the Mid-American Conference West Division lead with a nail-biting 41-38 win over the University of Toledo here Saturday, Jan. 21, afternoon at the Convocation Center. With the score tied at 36-all with 3:05 left in the game, senior guard Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan C.C.) hit his second consecutive three-point field goal to put the Eagles up by three, 39-36. EMU junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) would then slam home a dunk with 2:20 left to boost EMU to a 41-36 advantage. Toledo’s Rian Pearson would cut the lead to three, 41-38, on a layup with 1:56 left and that score would hold for a final. Toledo had one shot to tie the game with nine seconds left, but it fell short and EMU controlled the rebound and held on to the ball for the victory. The 4-1 MAC start by Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles is the best for an EMU team since the 1996-97 squad posted a 4-1 start. EMU is 9-10 overall. Eastern did not have a player in double figures as Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) had nine points with Harris adding eight and Matt Balkema (Warren, Mich.-Cousino) finishing with seven points and eight rebounds. Toledo, now 9-10 overall and 1-4 in MAC action, was led by Rian Pearson with 12. Eastern would finish the game shooting 32.6 percent, making 15-of-46 shots from the field while Toledo made just 30 percent of its attempts, hitting 15-of-50. Eastern also held a large, 40-27, rebound advantage. The two teams suffered through some poor shooting and sloppy ball handling in the first half. Eastern would jump out to a 10-4 lead through the first nine minutes of the game. Toledo would then respond with a 10-0 run to go up 14-10 with 6:38 left. Eastern would finally break a seven-minute scoreless streak with two free throws by Lampley to make it 14-12 at the 4:41 mark. The last scoring of the half came at the 3:41 mark when EMU’s Derek Thompson (De-troit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) hit a long three to give the Eagles a 15-14 lead into inter-mission. The offense picked up a touch at the beginning of the second half as Eastern went up by four, 24-20, with 14:07 left on a triple by Lampley. Toledo would answer that surge with five consecutive points of its own for a 25-24 lead at the 13:20 mark. Eastern would build several leads over the next few minutes, but the Rockets contin-ued to have answers and came back to tie the game at 36-all on a triple by Brown with 4:50 remaining.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped a 65-47 road contest to Mid-American Conference East opponent Univer-sity at Buffalo here Tuesday, Jan. 24, at Alumni Arena Despite trailing by just one at the half the Eagles were unable to hold the Bulls at bay in the second-half with the loss the Eagles giving EMU a 9-11 overall record and a 4-2 MAC mark. Despite the loss the Eagles remained in a tie for first in the West Division with Ball State after the Cardinals dropped a 70-58 home decision to Akron. Against the Bulls, Eastern struggled from the field, shooting just 16-of-47 from the field for 34.0 percent, while shooting a frigid 14.3 percent from beyond the arc. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) was the high scorer for EMU after dropping 14. Quintin Dailey (Las Vegas, Nev.-Bishop Gorman-Sheridan (Wyo.) J.C.) added 10 while Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) chipped in with seven points of his own. Sophomore center Da’shonte ri-ley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day-Syracuse) was a defensive standout with a career-high seven blocks, while adding eight rebounds in the Eagles’ loss. Riley’s seven blocks also tied him for second most by an EMU player in a single game. Junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) opened the scoring by knocking down a pair of free throws at the 18:12 mark, giving the Eagles the early 2-0 edge. The Bulls responded taking a 5-2 lead before going on a 15-3 run to take a 15-5 lead at the 12:04 mark. Lampley knocked down three straight buckets for seven Eagles’ points in a row, bring-ing the Green and White to within five, 14-19, near the eight-minute mark in the opening half. Green gave the Eagles their first lead since the 16:58 mark by hitting a triple from the corner with 3:50 remaining, making it 23-22 in favor of the Green and White. The Bulls ended the half by taking a 24-23 lead on a Titus Robinson dunk with eight seconds left on the clock. Buffalo ran out to a nine-point lead to start the second-half after completing an early 14-6 run, making it 38-29. Filzen extended the Bulls’ lead to 14 when he hit a pair of three-balls to make it 44-30 with 11:09 left in the game. After being called for a flagrant foul on an elbow to the face of Eastern’s antoine chan-dler (Winsdor, Ontario-W.F. Herman Secondary) Buffalo’s Tony Watson hit a deep three-pointer to give the Bulls a 49-35 lead with under eight minutes to play. Mitchell Watt extended the UB lead to 16 on a dunk to put the Bulls on top, 57-41. The Eagles were unable to surmount a comeback and fell by the 65-47 score.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basket-ball team took over sole possession of the Mid-American Conference West Division race with a 55-50 win over Bowling Green State University here Saturday, Jan. 28, evening in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game in the Convocation Center. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles, now 5-2 in league play and 10-11 overall, out-scored Bowling Green, 12-7, over the final three minutes to record the home victory. EMU senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) led the way with a 20-point night while redshirt forward Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added eight points and six rebounds, including two clutch free throws with just 6.3 seconds left that gave the Eagles a 55-50 lead which ended up as the final score. Bowling Green, now 9-11 overall and 3-4 in the MAC, was led by the duo of A’uston Calhoun and Dee Brown with 12 and 10 points respectively. Bowling Green eased out to a 17-11 lead in the first 10 minutes before Lampley would connect on an arching two-point field goal near the lane and a long triple from the top right side of the arc to cut it to 17-16, with 9:54 left in the half. The Eagles would then score the next four unanswered points, on two Riley free throws and a driving layup by Lampley, to take a 20-17 lead with 7:06 left in the half. The teams traded baskets before Eastern would forge a 25-all tie on a dunk by Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) with 1:24 left and the half would end with that deadlock. Neither team could find the range in the early stages of the second half and the score remained tied at 25-all through the first 2:30. Eastern would finally break the deadlock, going on a 12-7 run over the next five min-utes to take a 37-32 lead with 11:46 left on a triple by Lampley. Strickland would add a layup just 32 seconds later for a 39-32 EMU advantage. Bowling Green would fight back to tie the game once again at 43-all before Lampley would bury a long three from in front of the EMU bench to put Eastern on top, 46-43, with 3:12 left. After a free throw by BG’s Torian Oglesby made it 46-44, EMU’s Antonio Green (Dear-born Heights, Mich.-Robichaud) would fire home a three from the right baseline for a 49-44 EMU lead with 2:20 left. Redshirt guard J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) would then take a nice feed from Lampley to hit a layup with 58.6 left for a 51-44 EMU lead. BG’s Jordan Crawford would answer with a long three to cut it to four, 51-47, but Lampley and Strickland would both make two free throws each over the final 34 seconds to help EMU preserve the 55-50 victory. The Eagles will stay in MAC cross-divisional action with a trip to Oxford, Ohio Wednes-day, Feb. 1, for a 7 p.m. matchup with the Miami University RedHawks.

OXFORD, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team could not hold on to a double-digit lead late in the game and then were out-scored 16-11 in overtime to drop a 62-57 decision here Wednesday, Feb. 1, evening in Millett Hall in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game. Eastern would boost its lead to 11 in regulation, 45-34, with 3:28 left, but the Red-Hawks would mount a tremendous comeback and tie the game at 46-all with 17.2 sec-onds left on a triple by Jon Harris. The Green and White then moved it down court and had a couple of chances to win it in regulation, but an Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) drive to the hoop was off the mark and a follow-up tip was also missed, forcing the overtime session. In the overtime it was all Miami as the RedHawks would build an eight-point lead before closing it out with the five-point win. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles fall to 10-12 overall and 5-3 in MAC action while the win gives Miami a 6-14 overall record and a 2-6 league mark.

Sophomore Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day-Syracuse Univ.) had eight points and 11 rebounds for the Eagles. Miami was led by Julian Mavunga with a 19-19 double-double scoring-rebounding effort while Quinten Rollins added 10. Eastern shot an even 50 percent, making 22-of-44 attempts from the field while shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the three-point arc, making 4-of-12, and making just 9-of-17 free throws for 52.9 percent. Miami shot 41.7 percent for the game, making 20-of-48 shots from the field, made 5-of-13 triples for 38.5 percent and 17-of-25 free throws for 68 percent. The RedHawks won the battle of the boards, 33-27. Eastern jumped out to a 9-6 lead at the 12:52 mark of the first half on a layup by Strickland. Miami would slowly creep back into the game with guard Josh Sewell connecting on two consecutive threes, with the second coming at the 6:13 mark to give Miami its first lead of the game at 12-11. The host team would go on to build an 18-13 lead after the Eagles would go scoreless for more than three minutes. Thompson would close out the first half for the Eagles with two straight threes to cut Miami’s lead to three, 22-19, at intermission.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Kent State’s Randal Holt hit a three pointer from the top left of the arc to give the Golden Flashes a 59-58 lead with 23.5 seconds left and the Golden Flashes would added three free throws to hand the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team a 62-58 loss here Wednesday, Feb. 8, evening in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional game in the Convocation Center. With the score knotted at 56-all, EMU sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider), called on to replace senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland) who was injured on the previous play, connected on a jumper to put the Eagles up two, 58-56, with 48.7 left. That set up Holt’s long three and sealed the game for the Golden Flashes. The Eagles had one last chance to win the game, but a Lampley drive to the hoop with under 10 seconds left was blocked by several Golden Flashes and the visitors added those final three charity tosses to boost their record to 17-6 overall and 7-3 in MAC ac-tion. With the loss the Eagles fall to 10-14 overall and 5-5 in MAC play, but EMU held on to first place in the MAC West Division. Eastern had three players in double figures with Lampley leading the way with 18 points while senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Ro-bichaud) added 12 and junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) chipped in 10. Senior forward Justin Greene, the MAC Player of the Year in 2011, would lead Kent State with 17 points while senior guard Carlton Guyton added 11 and junior forward Chris Evans totaled 10. The win boosts Kent to 17-6 overall and 7-3 in league play. Eastern would finish the game making 24-of-54 field-goal attempts for 44.4 percent and the Green and White would connect on 6-of-12 three-point field goals. Kent made 22-of-47 attempts for 46.8 percent from the field and 5-of-18 from beyond the arc for 27.8 percent. The Eagles held a 30-29 rebound edge. Eastern opened the game with an offensive flurry, racing to a 14-5 lead in the game’s first six minutes. The two teams would then trade baskets through the middle part of the half and Kent would score the final three points to take a 32-31 lead into intermission. Kent ran off the first five points of the second half to take a 34-31 lead, but the Eagles answered that challenge, out-scoring the Flashes, 11-4, to go on top 42-38, with 15:44 left in the second half and the game would remain close through the final stages. The Eagles will stay at home to the Convocation Center Saturday, Feb. 11, to host Ohio in the annual EMU Athletic Hall of Fame Game. The tip is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men’s bas-ketball team closed out its six-game trip through the Mid-American Conference East Division with a convincing 68-55 win over the Ohio University Bobcats here Saturday, Feb. 11, in the Convocation Center. The game was E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame Day as well as Polish-American Day. The Eagles jumped out to a 9-0 lead to start the game and never looked back in re-cording their 11th win of the season against 14 losses and, more importantly, the Eagles kept possession of first place in the MAC West Division at 6-5. Junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) scored a season-high 23 points to lead the Eagles while senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added 13 and junior forward Jamell Harris (Eu-clid, Ohio-Euclid) chipped in 12 to go along with a team-best seven rebounds. Ohio, now 19-6 overall and 7-4 in MAC action, was paced by D.J. Cooper with 15 and Reggie Keely with 14. The Eagles shot 50 percent for the game from the field, making 18-of-36 attempts and also shot a blistering 66.7 from beyond the arc, making 8-of-12 threes. In addition, Eastern made 24-of-33 free throws for 72.7 percent. Eastern also won the battle of the boards, 34-28. Ohio, meanwhile, was making just 31.3 percent from the field, hitting 15-of-48 and the Bobcats would shoot a poor 23.1 percent from three-point land, making 6-of-26. Eastern started the game on a roll, building that 9-0 lead at the 10:14 mark of the first half. The home team would keep the lead at eight, 19-11, with 4:24 left in the first half, but the visitors would cut the deficit to four, 19-15, with 3:06 left and the half would end with EMU up by a 27-17 count. EMU opened the second half with a 12-point lead, 31-19, with 16:06 left on a layup by Harris. Ohio would cut the deficit below double figures, but Harris would come up with a high-flying alley oop dunk off a great feed from Thompson at the 12:14 mark to put EMU up 10, 35-25. The visitors would creep back into the game after that dunk, cutting it to seven, 35-28, on a triple from Stevie Taylor, but once again the Eagles would answer, this time on a triple from Thompson to put EMU back up 10, 48-38, at the 5:57 mark. Ohio would get as close as five several times late in the game, the last time at 56-51, with 2:45 remaining on a triple by Cooper, but the Eagles slowly built it back to double digits in the last two minutes, finally making it 13 at the final buzzer. The Eagles will return to action Tuesday, Feb. 14, at Central Michigan.

EMU DrOPs rOaD tilt in MOUnt PlEasantThompson leads EMU with 18 points off the bench

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team could not overcome an early Central Michigan University lead and fell to the Chippewas, 55-52, here Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012, in the McGuirk Center. The home team built a nine-point lead, 54-45, with 52.2 seconds left, but EMU would fight all the way to the end, getting it to three with 00.5 left on a triple by junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO), but CMU would then get the ball safely inbounds, thrwarting the Eagles' comeback. The win gave the Chippewas a 2-0 record against the Eagles this season. Eastern, now 11-15 overall and 6-6 in MAC play, was led by Thompson with 18 points while junior center Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid), added 10 points and seven rebounds. Central Michigan, 8-17 overall and 3-9 in MAC play, was led by freshman point guard Austin McBroom with 14 while Trey Zeigler scored 11 with nine rebounds. Eastern would finish the game shooting 41 percent, making 16-of-39 field-goal at-tempts, but the free throw line hurt the Eagles as they made just 16-of-25 charity tosses for 64 percent. Central shot 46.9 percent from the field, making 23-of-49 shots and the Chips were 6-of-18 from behind the three-point line for 33.3 percent. CMU made just 3-of-10 free throws, but managed a big edge on the boards, 36-23. Central came out on fire in the early stages of the first half, taking a 17-6 lead at the 11:08 mark after making five three-point field goals. Eastern would gradually work its way back, cutting the Chippewa advantage to sev-en, 19-12, with 3:39 left after Matt Balkema (Roseville, Mich.-Warren Cousino) and Lampley both hit free throws. After CMU went up 24-16 at the 1:05 mark on a lay-up by Zeigler, the Eagles would score the final four points of the half to trim the deficit to four, 24-20, at intermission. The second half started slowly with both teams trying to find some consistency on offense, but Eastern would cut it to a one-point game three times from 12:39 to 11:53, with the last one a jumper by Anthony Strickland (Ypsilanti, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud). McBroom would then take over for the Chippewas, scoring on three straight jump-ers to boost the home team's lead back to 10, 42-32, the last one at the 7:52 mark. The Chips would once again built a 10-point lead, but EMU refused to go away, cur-rint it to six, 48-42, on two straight triples by Thompson, the last one at the 4:07 mark. The Eagles move out of Mid-American Conference action for the final time this regu-lar season when they travel to Green Bay, Wisc., Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012, for a 1 p.m. (CT) matchup with the Green Bay Phoenix as part of the Sears BracketBuster event.

(EMUEagles.com) — The last non-conference regular-season game ended on a sour note for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team as the Eagles dropped a 54-49 decision to the Green Bay Phoenix here Saturday, Feb. 18, in the Resch Center in the annual Sears BracketBuster matchup. Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Mid-American Conference Eagles came back from an eight-point deficit with 3:42 left to cut the deficit to three, 50-47, with 1:48 left on a three-point field goal by senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lake-land C.C.). After two free throws by Green Bay’s Keifer Sykes boosted the home team’s lead back to five, Eastern senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) made two of three free throws with 24.3 seconds left to make it 52-49, but 7-foot-1 center Alec Brown would connect on two free throws with 21.5 left and Green Bay would hold on to post the five-point win. Eastern, now 11-16 on the season, was led by Lampley with 13 points while junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added 12 points. Green Bay, which improved to 12-14 with the win, was paced by guards Sykes and Kam Cerroni with 10 points each. Brown had nine points with 13 rebounds. Eastern shot 32.7 percent from the field, making 18-of-55 field goals and 6-of-21 triples for 28.6 percent. The Eagles made just 7-of-14 free throws for 50 percent and were out-rebounded, 41-29. Green Bay shot 40 percent from the field, making 18-of-45 field-goal attempts and the Phoenix were red-hot from the free-throw line, making 15-of-18 for 83.3 percent. The Eagles came out with a 4-0 run to start the game on a jumper by junior for-ward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) and a layup by sophomore guard austin Harper (Grand Haven, Mich.-Grand Haven-Glen Oaks C.C.). The home squad would finally heat up enough on offense to take an 8-7 lead at the 11:38 mark on a layup by Brennan Cougill. Thompson would then hit the first of two straight threes to give EMU a 10-8 lead with 10:22 left, but the Phoenix would run off the next six points for a 14-10 lead. The Phoenix would built their advantage to as much as seven, 24-17, with 1:10 left in the half, but junior guard J.R. Smith (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) would bury a long three from the top of the three-point arc to cut the lead to four, 24-20, with 52.6 left. Neither team was able to add any points the rest of the half. Green Bay came out of halftime with five answered points to forge a 29-20 lead before Harris quieted the crowd with a layup to make it a seven-point game, 29-22, with 16:07 left. The Phoenix would built its lead back to 10, 38-28, but EMU had the answer once again, going on a 7-0 run to cut the deficit to three, 38-35, with the last three of that series coming on a triple from Thompson at the 6:40 mark. The Eagles kept coming back late in the game, setting up the exciting finish.


EMU Wins With FUriOUs sEcOnD-halF cOMEBackEagles erase a 13-point deficit in the final 12 minutes

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — A furious second-half comeback propelled the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team to a 48-45 win over a visiting Northern Illinois University team here Wednesday, Feb. 22, in a Mid-American Confer-ence men’s basketball game in the Convocation Center. Trailing by 13, 39-26, with 11:49 left in the game, the Eagles went on a 15-0 run to take a 41-39 with 3:08 and the home team never relinquished that advantage, posting the three-point win. With the win, Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles, now 7-6 in the MAC West and 12-16 overall, kept their lock on first place in the West Division. The loss drops NIU to 3-23 overall and 2-11 in league action. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) led the Eagles with 21 points to go along with four rebounds, five assists and three steals. Junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added 10 points. Sophomore center Da’Shonte Riley (Detroit, Mich.-Country Day-Syracuse) had six points with six rebounds. NIU had two players, Abdel Nader and Tony Nixon, with 10 points each. Eastern connected on 13-of-41 field goals for 31.7 percent and the Eagles made 17-of-24 free throws for 70.8 percent. The Eagles forced 17 NIU turnovers, but lost the rebounding battle, 42-28. Northern Illinois shot just 30 percent, making 15-of-50 field goals and just 4-of-21 three-point attempts for 19.0 percent. Eastern opened up with a 3-0 lead to start the game and pushed it to three, 7-4, with 11:54 on the clock when Lampley connected on a long triple. Lampley would finish the first-half scoring at the 1:29 mark on a long two-point field goal to knot the game at 22-all. Northern started the second half with a 6-0 run, on two jumpers by Bader and a layup by Bolin to go up, 28-22. After Lampley halted the NIU streak with two free throws, the Huskies ran off four more points to take the game’s biggest lead, a nine-point advantage at the 15:52 mark. The Huskies would go to the long back, with Antone Christian hitting two threes, to increase their lead to 13, 39-26, at the 11:49 mark of the second half. Eastern would have a quick answer to that NIU run out, scoring 15 unanswered points to take a 41-39 lead with 3:08 left, on two free throws by Lampley. Northern would finally break a nine-minute drought on a free throw by Kevin Gray to cut the EMU lead to one, 41-40. Eastern would then go up by four, 44-40, on a triple by Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) with just 2:19 left and the Eagles would hold the lead the rest of the way.

EMU hOlDs On tO First in thE Mac WEst With WinSeniors Lampley and Green lead the Eagles on Senior Day

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —It was only appropriate that two seniors, guards Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) and Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) would be the players to lead the Eagles on Senior Day here Saturday, Feb. 25, in a Mid-American Conference West Division game against the Ball State University Cardinals. Senior guards Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) and antonio green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) scored 13 and 10 points respectively to lead EMU to a 61-50 win over Ball State University in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. With the win, Head Coach Rob Murphy’s Eagles improve to 8-6 in the MAC West and 13-16 overall to keep their lock on first place in the West Division. Ball State falls to 13-14 overall and 4-10 in MAC play. In addition to Lampley and Green, Eastern redshirt sophomore guard J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) had nine points, junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) added eight points with six rebounds and junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) added eight points. Ball State was led by Jarrod Jones with 14 points while Tyrae Robinson scored five points with 10 assists and Tyler Koch added nine points. Eastern finished the game shooting 36.2 percent from the field, making 17-of-47 attempts, but followed up a poor 25 percent first-half shooting effort with a 50 percent second-half output. EMU also managed to control the backboards, recording a 33-23 advantage. Eastern also shot a blistering 87 percent from the free throw stripe, making 20-of-23 attempts. Ball State shot 47.6 percent for the game, making 20-of-42 shots, but the Cardinals made just 4-of-11 free throws for 36.4 percent. Ball State opened the game with a quick five points before Lampley halted that streak on a jumper. The Cardinals would build their advantage to seven, 19-12, with 3:35 on the clock, but Eastern would go to the long ball, with two straight threes, from Green and Sims to pull the Eagles within two, 22-20, with 1:34 left. That 22-20 score would stand as the teams headed to intermission. Ball State would open the second half on a dunk by Jones and EMU would answer with two straight alley-opp dunks by Harris on passes from Lampley to tie the score at 24-all. The Eagles would make it a 9-0 run after a two-point goal by Green and a three from Sims, putting EMU up, 29-24, with 17:04 left. EMU would once again go to the alley-opp combination of Lampley to Harris to stake a 10-point lead, 43-33, with 10:13 left in the game. Ball State would come back to cut it to three, 43-40, with 7:55 left on a three by Tyler Koch, but the Eagles would come back to boost their lead to 10, 54-44, on two Lampley free throws with 2:05 left and the Eagles would go on to post the 11-point victory.

EMU WINS LAST-SECOND THRILLER AT WMU, 54-53Darrell Lampley’s teardrop floater wins it for Eagles

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) hit a four-foot teardrop floating jumper on the right side of the lane with one second left to give the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team a 54-53 win over Western Michigan University here Wednesday, Feb. 29, in University Arena in a Mid-American Conference West Division game. Lampley’s winning shot, which bounced three times before finding the bottom of the net, was set up after Western took a 53-52 lead on a layup and foul shot by Flenard Whit-field with just 17.2 seconds left. The Eagles worked the ball down court with junior Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) dishing off to Lampley for the winning drive to the basket. Western then tried a court-length pass that went out of bounds, giving the Eagles possession under their own bucket. Lampley inbounded the ball to junior center Matt Balkema (Roseville, Mich.-Warren Cousino) as the buzzer sounded ending the game. The win helped the Eagles improve to 9-6 in the MAC and gave EMU its first-ever MAC West Division title. Eastern is now 14-16 overall in Head Coach Rob Murphy’s first year at the helm. Lampley led the Eagles with 15 points while senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added 12 and Thompson tallied nine. The Eagles shot 40.4 percent from the field, making 19-of-47 shots and hit 84.6 percent from the charity stripe, making 11-of-13. Western Michigan, now 12-18 overall and 6-9 in the league, was paced by Mike Doug-las with 15 and Whitfield with 14. Western also held a 29-25 edge on the boards. Thompson hit the first basket of the game on a short jumper, but WMU would score the next six points for a quick 6-2 lead in the first five minutes. The home squad would go on to build a seven-point edge, 13-6, before Eastern would once again cut into that deficit, making it a three-point game, 13-10, on two free throws by Lampley with 9:15 left in the half. The Eagles would keep chipping away at the deficit, trimming it to one, 21-20, on a short hook by junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) at the 3:36 mark. Western’s Shayne Wittington would score on a dunk with 14.1 seconds left in the half, but EMU redshirt sophomore J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) would put an exclama-tion point on the first half with a three at the buzzer to give the Eagles a 26-25 halftime lead. After the Broncos opened the second half on a basket the Eagles would run off eight unanswered points to take a 34-27 lead 16:51 left. The Broncos would slowly chip away at that deficit over the next 10 minutes and even-tually gain a 40-40 tie on two free throws by Whitfield at the 7:12 mark. The Eagles would meet that challenge and go up by six, 48-42, with 5:50 left on a three from Green, but Western would once again answer the call, with Whitfield making the first of two free throws to tie the game at 50-all with 1:02 left in the game. Thompson would then score on a driving layup to give the Eagles a 52-50 lead, but his second free throw would miss the mark, giving the Broncos possession with 39.1 seconds left and setting up the final flurry of activity over the game’s final few seconds. The Eagles are scheduled to close out the 2011-12 regular season Saturday, March 3, in a MAC West Division battle with the University of Toledo Rockets. Game time is 2 p.m.

EaglEs Fall in Final rEgUlar-sEasOn gaMEToledo uses strong offensive effort to forge 76-51 home win

TOLEDO, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — An offensive-minded University of To-ledo team spoiled the regular-season finale for Eastern Michigan University as the host squad posted a 76-51 win over the Eagles here Saturday, March 3, in a Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball West Division game played in Savage Arena. The Rockets connected on 24-of-52 field-goal attempts for 46.2 percent, made 19-of-26 free throws for 73.1 percent and won the battle of the boards, 41-37, on the way to the victory. The Eagles, meanwhile, shot just 31.3 percent from the field, hitting 20-of-64 at-tempts and just 3-of-20 three-point attempts for 15.0 percent. The game was the final 2011-12 regular-season game for both teams and leaves the Eagles with a 14-17 overall record and a 9-7 MAC mark. Eastern had already won the MAC West Division title entering the game and with a 9-7 league record, the Eagles will get the No. 5 seed in the upcoming FirstEnergy Tournament. The Eagles will host a first-round game Monday, March 5, against No. 12 seed Northern Illinois in the Convocation Center at 7 p.m. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) led the Eagles with 13 points while senior guard Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) added nine and junior Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) chipped in eight. Junior forward Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) scored seven points with nine rebounds. Toledo, now 16-15 overall and 7-9 in MAC play, was led by sophomore guard Rian Pearson with 27 points and 11 rebounds. Curtis Dennis tallied 21 and Dominique Buck-ley chipped in 11 points. The two teams traded baskets in the early going, with Thompson tying the game at 12-all with 14:45 showing on the first-half clock. Toledo broke that tie with a string of 9-0 mini-run to go on top, 21-12, before redshirt sophomore J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) hit the second of two free throws to finally break the Rocket run. The Rockets boosted their lead to nine, 25-16, but the Eagles responded with six un-answered points, the last on a three from Green, to cut the deficit to three, 25-22, with 5:28 left. Toledo’s offense came back to take a 10-point lead, 35-25, at the half. Pierson was too much to handle for the Eagles in the first 20 minutes as the 6-foot-4 sophomore tallied 17 points whle Dennis Curtis added 10.


EMU Upset by NIU in First Round of MAC TournamentNo. 5 seeded Eagles’ offense is flat in loss to No. 12 seeded Huskies

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — It had all the drama of a big tournament game and in the end the Northern Illinois University Huskies would make their shots count down the stretch to post a 55-52 upset win over the Eastern Michigan University Eagles here Monday, March 5, at the Convocation Center in a first-round game of the 2012 FirstEnergy Mid-American Conference Tournament. The visitors would build a five-point lead, 53-48, with just 30 seconds left, but EMU would cut the deficit to three, 55-52, on a three-point field goal by junior guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) with 12 ticks left. EMU was forced to foul again and after the Huskies missed the first of a 1-and-1 free throw situation, EMU’s Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) would get a chance at a three-point field goal to tie the game at the buzzer and his shot hit the backboard, bounced several times and finally spun out of the cylinder, ending the Eagles hopes at a last-second tie. The loss ends the No. 5 seeded Eagles’ season at 14-18 overall while No. 12 seeded Northern Illinois advances to the next round of the tournament, Wednesday, March 8, at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio against Western Michigan. The Broncos recorded a 69-63 win over Ball State Monday to advance to the next round. Other first-round games Monday had No. 11 seed Central Michigan upsetting No. 6 seed Bowling Green, 54-53; No. 7 seed Toledo beating No. 10 seed Miami, 60-53, and No. 8 seed Western Michigan beating No. 9 seed Ball State, 69-63. In the loss to NIU, EMU would shoot just 34 percent for the game, making 16-of-47 shots and 6-of-23 triple tries for 26.1 percent. Northern would connect on 48.7 percent from the field, making 19-of-39 attempts and would also shoot 42.9 percent from be-yond the arc, making 9-of-21. Senior guard Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) closed out his EMU career with 13 points and six assists while Harris would score 13 points with eight rebounds. Northern, which won its first road game of the year in 15 attempts, was led by Tony Nixon with 14 points while Aksel Bolin tallied 13. The Huskies opened the game with a three-point field goal by Bolin at the 19:42 mark, but both teams struggled offensively the rest of the half with Northern finally managing an 18-11 lead at intermission. The Eagles shot just 13.6 percent from the field in the first half, making only 3-of-22 attempts while the visitors were shooting 41.2 percent, making 7-of-17. EMU was 0-of-9 from beyond the arc and Northern hit 3-of-8 triples. NIU scored the first bucket of the second half and would build its lead to eight, 24-

Mid-American Conference



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.

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.

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.

NCAA 1987-88: “FIRST DANCE”



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.

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.

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.

NCAA 1995-96: “DOME DANCE”



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.

The 1997-98 EMU Men’s Basketball Squad: Front row (L-R) Manager Chad Double, Manager Nate Purcell, Assistant Coach Mike Shedd, Assistant Coach Lorenzo Neely, Head Coach Milton Barnes, Assistant Coach Tony Harvey, Assistant Coach Todd Lickliter, Manager Lonnie Griffin, and Man-ager Ben Bosserd. Back row (L-R) Jon Zajac, James Head, Derrick Dial, Jamaal Jenks, Avin Howard, Earl Boykins, Sharif Fordham, Charlie Eibeler, Corey Tarrant, Nkechi Ezugwu, and Ajani Williams.

Where We’re located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 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 campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jog-ging 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.Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, 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 exclusive 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 23,000 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; Educa-tion; 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.

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 apartments and include living/learning center options.

Faculty/staff Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral de-grees 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. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th 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.

“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 Founded in 1849, 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 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 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 Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Vil-lage residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

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.



President Susan Martin

Entering her fifth year as the presi-dent 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 162-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Since joining EMU she has led the institution in two consecutive years of enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and en-hanced the living and learning facilities by making $195M in capital improve-ments to the campus. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included build-

ing on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, comprehensive fundraising and earning the public’s trust.

The mark of an exceptional athletics program is the progress that is made each year. And under the leadership of athletics direc-tor Dr. Derrick gragg, the Eastern Michigan University department of athletics has turned in successful campaigns in each of his first five years at the helm. During Gragg’s first year at EMU in 2006-07, the department set a school and Mid-American Conference record by capturing a remarkable eight team conference titles, adding a league post-season crown and recording two runner-up finishes.

In 2007-08, Gragg’s second as athletics direc-tor, EMU followed up the record-breaking eight championships in 2006-07 with four league regular-season titles and one MAC Tournament crown and the Eagles secured the Reese Trophy which is awarded annually to the top overall men’s athletics program in the league. Eastern had won the prestigious Reese Trophy three previous times (1987-88, 1990-91 and 1995-96). Gragg was nationally recognized for his lead-ership in 2008-09, earning the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA) Administrator of the Year Award. He received the award at the BCA National Convention and Expo Awards Banquet, May 29, 2009, in Indianapolis, Ind.

Eastern continued to excel in 2009-10 with a trio of MAC team titles, 30 individual MAC Cham-pionships and 60 student-athletes named to the All-MAC teams. Gragg also helped spearhead the construction of EMU’s $3.9 million multi-purpose indoor athletic practice facility located near the north end of Rynearson Stadium. The 2010-11 season proved to be another record-setting campaign for EMU Athletics. The women’s outdoor track and field team won in 11 years to go along with the men’s cross country team capturing its 15 MAC crown. The Eagles finished near the top in the battle for the Mid-American Conference all-sports championships.

NCAA Complaince



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 rehabilitation 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. Increas-ing 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 country. 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.

Student Athlete Support



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.

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 compre-hensive 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 Excellence 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.
