2017-18 EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE WEST DIVISION CHAMPIONS 2012 NCAA DIVISION I TOURNAMENT 1987-88 • 1990-91 • 1995-96 • 1997-98

SEASON NOTES BASKETALL STARTS HERE EMU and Spring Arbor open up the NCAA Division I basketball season with Friday's game. It marks the second instance that the Eagles have had the honor of starting Division I college basketball, previously opening the 2015 season against Vermont.

The 6-foot-10 front court member built on his MAC Freshman of the Year campaign by leading the team and ranking second in the conference with 11.2 rebounds per game and a 57.4 field goal percentage, while ranking third on the team and 16th in the MAC with 14.8 points per game in 2016-17.

EAGLES IN SEASON OPENERS Eastern Michigan has played 119 seasons, compiling a 70-49 record in season openers. Last year, the Eagles dropped a heartbreaking 93-90 double-overtime contest against Pittsburgh. The last season opener to go in favor of the Eagles, came in the 2015-16 campaign, where the Green and White started its season with a 70-50 blowout over Vermont, Nov. 13.

WHO'S WHO? Going into the season, the Eagles have just four returning players and have nine new additions to this season’s squad. Freshmen Malik Ellison, Bud Jones, Kevin McAdoo, Tariq Silver, Jorden Peterson, and Jalen King will join the Eagles, as well as Ty Groce (redshirt) and Isaiah Green (Lansing CC transfer). Three others, Paul Jackson, Terry Harris and Elijah Minnie sat out a season ago, and will see their first action donning the Green and White this year.

EMU PICKED TO FOURTH IN THE MAC WEST The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team was selected to finish fourth in the MAC West Division for the 2017-18 campaign, the Mid-American Conference announced Thursday, Oct. 26. The Eagles received 103 total points, which was just four points behind third place. Additionally, junior James Thompson IV was named to the preseason All-MAC West Division Team. OPENING UP AT HOME Eastern Michigan has kicked off the season at home in five of the past six seasons, posting a 5-0 mark in those games. EMU has outscored opponents 370-281 over that stretch, averaging 74.0 points per game, while holding opponents to 56.2 points per contest. HOME COURT ADVANTAGE Eastern Michigan has won 78 of its 102 home games during the Rob Murphy era of Eagles basketball. The Eagles have racked up a solid home-court advantage inside the friendly confines of the Convocation Center since the doors opened during the 1998-99 campaign. The Green and White has won 59.7 percent of the contests played in the building, piling up a 171-115 all-time mark. THE GUILD OF THIEVES EMU led the MAC in steals per game (9.6) and had four players in the Top-10 in total steals. Eastern’s steals per game ranked fourth in the country, while its 317 total steals ranked third. KING OF THIEVES EMU senior guard Tim Bond had one of the best defensive seasons in Eastern Michigan history during the 2016-17 campaign. Bond picked up 69 steals on the season. That number is the third-most in a single season in Eastern Michigan history. He led the MAC in steals at over two per game, and finished 19th in the NCAA for that category. The Baltimore, Md. native is a two-time All MAC Defensive Team member. BOND, TIM BOND Bond also put together a solid offensive season in 2016-17, averaging 9.1 points and four assists per game. His 132 total assists and 69 steals both led the team for Eastern a season ago, while his 26 three-point field goals and 25 blocks were each good for third on the team. THOMPSON ON PRESEASON WATCH LIST Following another standout season highlighted by Second Team AllMAC honors, James Thompson was named to the Preseason All-MAC West Division Team for the second straight season, league offices announced Oct. 26.

RETURNING FIREPOWER Even with the majority of its roster turning over from a season ago, Eastern Michigan returns plenty of firepower in the scoring column. James Thompson IV (14.8 ppg), Tim Bond (9.1 ppg), Jordan Nobles (4.6 ppg) and Jalen Brown (0.6 ppg) accounted for 40.4% of the scoring in 2016-17. The trio of Thompson, Bond, and Nobles shot a combined 49.5 percent from the floor, including Thompson's 57.4 percent that placed him among the top single-season marks in EMU history. FINALLY! After sitting out for the 2016-17 season to NCAA tranfer rules, Eagles' fans will finally get a chance to see redshirt juniors Paul Jackson, Terry Harris, and Elijah Minnie. Jackson played two seasons at Eastern Kentucky before joining Eastern Michigan, starting in 20 of his 30 games during his sophomore season. The 6-foot-2 point guard averaged 27.2 minutes, 7.1 points and five assists per game, while holding an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.2. Harris joins EMU after two seasons at Houston Baptist University. While there, Harris appeared in 29 total games. During his second season, the 6-foot-6 swing man averaged 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in just 12.4 minutes per game. Minnie spent two seasons at Robert Morris University, where he produced 14 double-digit scoring performances as well as three doubledoubles on his way to averaging 12 points and 6.6 rebounds per game during his sophomore campaign. The 6-foot-8 forward also averaged 1.9 blocks per contest. THE EAGLES ON ESPN3 Continuing the partnership with ESPN, the Eagles will be on ESPN3 and live stream every EMU men’s and women’s basketball home game. The Eagles’ men and women’s basketball games will all be provided to more than 115 million viewers across the world. Fans will be able to access these games online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. 44th MAC SEASON The 2017-18 season will be the 44th for the Eagles in the Mid-American Conference. The first year of MAC play for EMU was 1974-75 when the then-Hurons went 12-14 and 4-9 in league play. Eastern has added three Mid-American Conference championships to its shelf: 1987-88, 1990-91 and 1995-96. Additionally EMU captured the tournament title in 1997-98.

Easterm finished the 2016-17 campaign with a 16-17 overall record and a 7-11 mark in the Mid-American Conference. Sophomore James Thompson IV averaged 14.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game and was named to the AllMAC Second Team as well as the NABC All-District 14 Second Team. Junior Tim Bond was named to the All-MAC Defensive team for the second straight season behind the strength of 69 steals. The Eagles once again showed their prowess on the defensive end of the floor, as EMU led the conference in steals (9.6 per game) and blocked shots (4.4 per game) while allowing 73 points per game. In the 2015-16 campaign, the Detroit, Mich. native helped James Thompson IV to earn the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year award. Thompson is just the EMU student-athlete to earn the award in men’s basketball. Thompson was also named All-MAC Second Team after recording the third-most single season rebounds (352) in EMU history, along with the second-best single-season field goal percentage (.645) at Eastern, while Raven Lee nabbed All-MAC Honorable Mention accolades. Additionally, Tim Bond was named to the inaugural All-MAC Defensive Team after completing the season with the secondmost steals (67) in a single season. T h e Green and White saw its second-straight 20-ormore win season during the 2014-15 campaign as Murphy led the Green and White to a 21-14 mark on the year, capped by his second win over a Big Ten Conference opponent when the Eagles knocked off the University of Michigan, Dec. 9, inside the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. It was just the third time in EMU history that the Green and White have knocked off the Maize and Blue. In addition, Eastern made it to its second-straight postseason tournament when

For his efforts during the 2014-15 season, Lee was named to the All-MAC Third Team after averaging 16.7 points per game, the most since Brandon Bowdry posted 19.9 points during the 2010-11 season. Thus far, Murphy has coached a trio of All-MAC Third Team award winners, in addition to a pair of All-MAC Honorable Mention student-athletes. At the conclusion of the 2013-14 season after guiding the Eagles to a 22-15 record and the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament, Murphy was named a finalist for the Ben Jobe Award.

In Murphy’s second season at EMU, the Eagles registered a 47-44 victory against Purdue. It was the first time since the 1996-97 season that EMU had beaten a Big Ten opponent. During the 2012-13 campaign, the Eagles used their stingy defense to beat Northern Illinois, 42-25. In that contest, the Huskies scored just four points in the first half and converted on 8-of-61 field goals, including holding NIU to just 1-of-33 3-pointers in the game. The Huskies 13.1 percent field goal percentage was the lowest in NCAA history since the shot clock was implemented. The season concluded with EMU winning two games in the MAC Tournament for the first time since the 1997-98 season to reach the quarterfinals. After Murphy was hired on April 21, 2011, he and his staff worked tirelessly to implent his defensive philosophy and begin the process of reviving the EMU men’s basketball program. During Murphy’s inaugural season, 2011-12, the Eagles won Eastern’s first-ever MAC West

Division Championship. For his efforts in leading the team to that West championship, Murphy was named MAC Coach of the Year and Co-Coach of the Year in the NCAA District 14 Division I ranks by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). 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 title in 1997-98. 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. A graduate of Central State University 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 University staff for two seasons, 2002-03 and 2003-04, and the teams turned in back-to-back 22-9 seasons on the way to two Mid-American Conference East Division crowns. Both teams were invited to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). After that successful two-year stint as an assistant for the Golden Flashes, Murphy joined Head Coach Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse University men’s basketball program as an assistant. During his seven years on the staff, the Orange recorded a 180-67 overall record and played in the post season every year, with five NCAA appearances and two NIT stops. A native of Detroit, Murphy attended Mumford High School where he lettered in both football and basketball, earning All-State honors in football.

Despite leading by just four at the half, the Eagles’ (5-3) offense exploded for 48 second half points and held the Titans (1-6) to just six field goal makes in the second half on their way to downing Detroit Mercy in Calihan Hall for the first time since 1988. Senior Willie Mangum IV was the Eagles’ leading scoring, pouring in 21, while redshirt senior Ray Lee added 17.

Thompson broke the Eagles’ scoring drought with a free throw, which sparked a 15-5 run for EMU to knot things up at 17-17 with 11:43 to go in the half.

The Eastern Michigan defense began the game strong, coming out of the gate and forcing a couple early turnovers. Lee began the scoring, knocking down a mid-range jumper for the 2-0 lead. Scoring remained hard to come by, as the Eagles held a slim 3-1 lead at the 18:05 mark. Omaha took the lead a few minutes later, 7-5, eventually stretching it to 9-5 at the first media timeout.

The two squads began to trade buckets each way until Eastern was able to retake the lead with 7:24 left in the half, 23-21, and held on for the remainder of the first half. EMU extended that lead up to six, 30-24, with just under six minutes to go. The two squads went back-and-forth for the remainder of the half, as the Green and White came into the break with a four-point, 39-35, lead.

Toney converted a tough layup coming out of the break, pushing Eastern ahead by three, 18-15. The Green and White stayed hot on the offensive end, opening their biggest lead of the game to this point, 24-18, at the 8:31 mark. Both teams tacked on two more points, and at the third media timeout, Eastern led by six, 26-20.

Mangum led the offense with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting, with three long balls, while Thompson added seven points and six rebounds. EMU turned the ball over just four times, while forcing UDM into nine first half turnovers. The Eagles shot 44.1 percent from the floor and outrebounded Detroit Mercy, 17-16.

Toney sunk a pair at the line to put the lead back at five, but Omaha responded with a bucket to bring the lead back to three. The half came to an end with the Mavericks missing a shot at the buzzer, and the halftime score stood at 39-36 with the Eagles in front.

Lee opened the scoring again in the second half, knocking down a mid-range jumper to take a six point lead, 41-35. After a quick bucket by UDM, the Eagles took off on a 15-0 run, capped off by a three-ball from Jordan Nobles to give Eastern a 19-point, 56-37.

The EMU offense came out firing to begin the half, opening a quick seven-point lead, 47-40, on scoring from multiple Eagle players. Steele kept the momentum rolling for the Green and White, throwing down a big dunk on a nice feed from Toney. Lee then knocked down his first three of the game, moving the lead to double digits at 54-42.

After trading buckets, the Eagles again scored six-straight to jump out to a 24-point advantage, 65-41, with just under 12 minutes to go. The Green and White maintained a 20-plus point lead through much of the remaining half. EMU was able to extend its lead to as many as 30, 84-54, and outscored the Titans, 48-26, in the final 20 minutes of play on its way to an 87-61 victory.

Lee continued powering the Eagles, as another bucket from the senior forced the Mavericks to call a timeout with EMU ahead 58-45 at the 13:33 point. He kept it rolling in the following possessions, nailing two more three-pointers to put his total to 17 points on the day. From there, a steal and layup by Mangum pushed the lead to 68-51.

Eastern takes a long break from the hardwood, not playing until Dec. 11, when the Eagles welcome Siena Heights University at the Convocation Center. The game is scheduled for 2 p.m. in Ypsilanti.

Thompson sunk two more from the charity stripe, after which Mangum made a pair as well to bring the score to 88-72 with 2:25 left in the game. Thomspon finally nabbed his final few rebounds with less than a minute to play to secure the doubledouble, also sinking a pair of free throws put his stat line at 21 points and 11 rebounds. The final play of the game was a big one, as Bond threw down a big alley-oop for the final points of the game. At the buzzer, EMU walked away with a 94-77 victory. The Eagles continue the 2016 season on the road next week, Wednesday, Nov. 30, at Detroit Mercy. The game is slated to begin at 7 p.m. in Calihan Hall.

Following a turnover, Madray drove the lane, sinking a difficult layup with just under 30 seconds. At half, Eastern held a four-point lead, 34-30.

The game started out slow, with just a single point being scored by EMU in the first three minutes. A beautiful feed from Thompson to Steele for a dunk made the score 3-0 before Buffalo scored six of the next eight to take a 6-5 lead at the first media timeout. Buffalo scored the next bucket to lead 8-5, but EMU scored the next 11, which included three triples in a row, one from Bond and two from Mangum to retake a 16-8 advantage with just under 12 minutes until half. Out of the break, redshirt sophomore Jordan Nobles nailed a trey to tie the game, which was followed by a high-flying alley-oop from Lee to Bond to retake the lead with under two until the half. The Bulls hit a three to gain the lead back, which was answered immediately by a Thompson reverse layup to make it 34-33 Eagles with less than a minute until half. The final minute was an eventful one, following a Buffalo foul that put Lee at the line, the Buffalo coach was assessed a technical foul to keep Lee at the line to shoot four. The senior converted on all of them to give EMU a 38-33 advantage right before half. On Buffalo’s ensuing possession, they drew a foul, and made both freebies to put the halftime score at 38-35.

Nobles then drained a three to push the EMU lead to double digits, 38-27, with just under two minutes until the break. The Green and White stayed hot on the offensive end, increasing their lead to 45-29 with 39.5 seconds remaining. Eastern tacked on four more points to head into the break with a big 20-point lead, 49-29.

Eastern came out quick in the second half, as Nobles sunk a three within the first 1:30 of the half to push EMU’s lead to eight, 38-30. Steele continued having a big impact, bullying his way down low for a layup and shortly after drilling three straight jumpers to make the score 48-38. Nobles then extended the lead to 51-38 following his second three of the game, forcing the Chips to call a timeout.

Lee opened the second half with a three, followed by a jumper from Steele. At the 16:35 mark, the Eagles held a 56-38 lead, after which redshirt junior Nick Madray– Stephen Lewis tacked on two more for EMU. A floater from Nobles then put Eastern Michigan back ahead by 20, 60-40, at the first media timeout.

Another Thompson IV layup kept the momentum rolling, with the Baton Rouge, La. native following that up with two more free throws, putting the score at 59-45. Senior Ray Lee then scored his first points of the game, keeping the EMU lead at 14, 61-47. Heading into the final seven minutes of play, the Green and White led 63-50.

Thompson began the second half nailing a jumper to gain a five point lead, but UB answered with a three to cut it to two. After an EMU free throw, Buffalo and Eastern Michigan traded jumpers, which were followed by another Bull three ball to tie the game at 43. Buffalo gained the lead not long after with a trio of free throws, putting UB up 46-43 at the 15-minute mark.

As the clock ticked down, the Green and White held strong with a 28-point lead, 89-61, with just 4:17 left. Wofford-Humphrey continued his strong play down the stretch, knocking down a tip-in with roughly 2:30 to go. Redshirt sophomore Blake Brown closed things out with a pair of free throws, and the Green and White concluded the non-conference schedule with a convincing 98-72 victory over LBSU.

Nobles and Thompson IV converted four more free throws, pushing the lead to 17, EMU’s biggest lead of the game thus far. Bond then threw down an incredible dunk, taking off from near the free throw line over a few CMU defenders, sparking a quick scoring outburst from EMU. Shortly after Bond’s dunk, the EMU lead ballooned to 22, 74-52.

The Bulls stole the momentum soon thereafter however, going on a 9-0 run of their own, gaining a 57-54 advantage with just under nine to go. A Steele layup broke the streak, but UB scored eight more in a row to open its largest lead of the game, 65-56 with seven minutes to play.

The offensive attack continued with a three-point play from Nobles, putting him at 13 on the day. Steele continued his strong day, sealing his first career with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Eastern maintained their big lead over the final few minutes, as the score stood at 81-61 with just under two minutes to go.

Buffalo made the first two shots in the final act, one at 3:11 and the other at 1:53 to stay ahead by five. Unable to get the ball to fall their way, Eastern began to foul with under a minute to play. The Bulls made enough freebies to keep the lead, and hang on for the 77-68 win.

EMU drained the clock over the last two minutes, with redshirt senior Quaran Jones posting his first points of the game on a jumper. The game came to a conclusion with the Eagles emerging victorious by a final tally of 85-63.

Eastern gets back into action next week when it treks down to Ohio to take on Bowling Green University. Tip-off against the Falcons at the Stroh Center is set for 7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10.

Akron 70 AKRON, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team got into an early hole they could not get out of in a 70-63 defeat to MAC leader Akron University, Friday night, Jan. 20, at James A. Rhodes Arena. It was just EMU’s (12-7, 4-2 MAC) second loss in its last eight games, while Akron improved to 16-3 and 6-0 in the MAC. The Eagles spread the wealth with eight players contributing on the score sheet, led by seniors Ty Toney and Willie Mangum IV, who finished with 17 and 13, respectively. Sophomore Baylee Steele also finished in double figures, scoring 10 while pulling down a team-high eight rebounds. As a team, EMU outscored the Zips in the second half, 35-32, but the large first half deficit was too much to overcome. They out-rebounded the Zips by a 32-29 margin, while also outscoring UA, 36-28, in the paint. Eastern got into an early hole, giving up a pair of three’s and a fast break layup to trail 8-0 just two minutes into the game. A couple of free throws from redshirt junior Nick Madray got EMU on the board, but a third three pointer put Akron up 11-2. EMU’s first field goal came on a Mangum three pointer, but Akron led 13-5 at the first media timeout. Mangum kept up the scoring, getting four more on a swift pair of jumpers, but Akron had the responses and continued to lead at the under 12, 19-9. The Eagles kept it within single digits with layups from Toney and redshirt senior Quaran Jones, but Akron continued to bury three pointers to maintain a steady lead, which ballooned to 27-15 with just under eight minutes remaining in the first. The Eagles continued to work, but could not chip into the lead despite a three from junior Tim Bond, and continued to trail by a 34-22 margin at the under four timeout. Coming out of the break, senior Ray Lee drilled his first three of the game to get back within nine, but Akron held tough to maintain the 10 point halftime lead, 38-28. The second half began with Steele scoring six of EMU’s first eight points, but UA continued to have an answer and they still led by a 45-36 margin at the first stoppage of play. EMU continued chipping, getting within seven on a thunderous Bond dunk, but Akron still led by nine, 48-39, with under 12 to play. Both teams went ice cold over the next three minutes, with neither getting a field goal until under nine minutes to go. Bond broke the dry spell with a layup, but Akron went back-to-back with a three-point play and an alley-oop to wake the crowd back up and get back ahead by 12 with nine minutes to play. Akron’s lead extended to 15 on a three pointer out of the under eight timeout, but Toney answered with a layup to get into double figures, and Steele got another bucket to get back within 11. After not being able to get any closer, EMU trailed 63-52 coming out of the final media timeout. Eastern was not done yet though, getting to within six after a Mangum three pointer and back-to-back baskets, forcing an Akron TO. The Eagles got within four points after a steal and fast break bucket with 1:30 to play, but Akron stopped the bleeding with a free throw, and after a missed jumper, they got more two more free throws to get back up seven with 35 seconds to play. With the lead late, the Zips secured the 70-63 win. Eastern gets back into action this Tuesday, Jan. 24, with a home showdown with the Ball State Cardinals. Tip-off from the Convocation Center is set for 9 p.m. and will be broadcast on ASN.

Miami

YPSILANTI, Mich.– The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team dropped a home game to Ball State University, Tuesday, Jan. 24, by a final tally of 88-80. The Eagles (12-8, 4-3 MAC) came within three in the second half, but the Cardinals (13-7, 4-3 MAC) held on for the victory.

OXFORD, Ohio- The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team got back on track in a dominating 74-57 win over Miami University Saturday afternoon, Jan. 28, at Millett Hall. The Eagles (13-8, 5-3 MAC) had an efficient offensive and stifling defensive effort to pick up their first win in Oxford since 1996.

Eastern finished 27-of-68 (39.7 percent) from the field, including a 9-of-19 mark from downtown. The Green and White forced 19 turnovers throughout the game, turning them into 10 steals and 16 points off of those Cardinal miscues. The Eagles also completed the game with eight fast break points, while Ball State finished with just two.

The RedHawks (9-12, 2-6 MAC) had no response for sophomore James Thompson IV as the big man had 26 points and 20 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season and 30th of his career. It was the first Eagle to go for 20 and 20 in the modern statistical era which dates back to 1998.

Individually, senior Ray Lee had a big game, scoring 24 points, and sinking four three pointers. It was the Detroit, Mich. native’s eighth game notching 20-or-more points. Junior Tim Bond stuffed the stat sheet by tallying 17 points, five assists, four steals, and a block. Senior Ty Toney kicked in 14 points, four rebounds, four assists, and a pair of thefts, while Baylee Steele was strong defensively, recording a career-best five blocks in the game.

Also in double figures were senior Willie Mangum IV and junior Tim Bond who had 12 and 10 respectively. Bond also had a game-high seven assists, six steals, and two blocks while redshirt sophomore Jordan Nobles led EMU in blocks with a career-high four.

The hot shooting from BSU continued, as the lead ballooned to 27-18 near the eightminute mark. Lee sunk a big three to remain within single digits, as the score at the third media timeout of the half was 28-21. The 6-foot-3 combo guard then went to the charity stripe, sinking both to pull EMU within five, 28-23. The next possession saw Bond make a jumper, cutting the lead to just three, 28-25. Ball State scored on a three, but Lee came right back with a long ball of his own, and EMU remained behind by three, 31-28, with 3:19 to go until the break. The Cardinals scored a quick four points, making it 35-28 as the clock ticked down to halftime. A trio from the charity stripe then made it a 10-point game, 38-28. Eastern picked up one more bucket, and the halftime score stood at 38-30. Ball State scored first in the second half, increasing the lead to double digits, but Lee came right back once again with a three to make it 40-33. A jumper from Toney on the next possession cut the lead to five, but BSU came right back to make it 42-35. The first media timeout of the half saw Ball State ahead by nine, 44-35. Eastern continued to score, but Ball State did as well, preserving the double digit lead. As the 12-minute mark approached, the Cardinals held a 12-point lead, 57-45. Coming out of a timeout, Bond sunk a huge three and was fouled in the process. He then drilled the free throw to complete the four-point play, making it 57-49. Both teams continued trading baskets and BSU remained in front by double digits, 74-62, with less than four minutes to go. Lee then sank a three, and Jones downed a tough layup to pull the Eagles back within single digits, 76-67. With time beginning to become a factor, Eastern needed to put up a lot of points in a hurry. The Green and White came within eight, 79-71, on the heels of free throws from Lee, but a three-point play from Ball State put the lead back at 11, 82-71, with less than two minutes to play. EMU cut it to nine once again on another Bond dunk, after which the Baltimore, Md. native drilled a three to make it 82-76. Eastern kept it within single digits, but could not complete the comeback, falling to the Cardinals by a final score of 88-80.

As a team, Eastern controlled all facets of the contest, shooting 45.8 percent (27-of59) from the floor while holding Miami to 35.1 percent (20-of-57), including just 20 percent (3-of-15) from three. The EMU defense had 11 blocks, its second straight game with double digit blocks and third time this season. They forced MU into 19 turnovers, including 14 steals, which turned into 20 of EMU’s points. They also controlled the paint, out-rebounding Miami, 44-30, and out-scoring them down low, 38-28. The Eagles came out strong, gaining an early advantage, 8-2, behind six points from Thompson. After the first media, Bond drilled a three to extend the lead to 11-2, as the defense continued to clamp down on the RedHawks. Eastern’s double-digit lead held true the rest of the half, with Miami only able to get within 10. With under a minute left, back-to-back three’s from Mangum and Bond, the latter at the buzzer, put the Eagles up 41-27 into the half. EMU picked up where they left off in the second half, with a steal and lay-in by Bond in the first possession of the half, followed by buckets from sophomore Baylee Steele and Thompson to extend the lead to 20, 47-27, and forcing a Miami timeout. The RedHawks trimmed the lead down to 15 before a floater from Mangum snapped the streak, and made it 49-32 early on in the half. The lead stayed consistent up to the middle of the half, as they continued to stifle the RedHawk offense. Coming out of the under-12 timeout, Bond had the Eagles’ tenth block of the day, which led to a transition bucket and a 17-point Eagle lead. The advantage extended to 19 soon after on a Mangum jumper with 10 minutes to play. Miami wouldn’t go away though, going on a 7-0 run t get back within 12 with eight minutes to play. A Thompson slam on the alley-oop from Bond put the tally at 60-46 at the media timeout. Both offenses went cool over the next four minute stretch to make it 66-49 down the final stretch. The Eagles didn’t yield the lead any further though, coasting to the 17-point win. Eastern gets back into action next week, Tuesday, Jan. 31 when it hosts Kent State University. Tip-off versus the Flashes is set for 7 p.m.

Eastern next heads south for a matchup with Miami, Saturday, Jan. 28. Action from Oxford is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.

Thompson scored the Eagles’ first points of the game, bringing down an offensive board and laying it in to make it 9-2. The sophomore continued carrying the Green and White, knocking down a jumper and shortly after notching a steal and fast break layup. At the first media timeout, Kent State held a six-point lead, 14-8. Kent State tied it up shortly after at 20, and then briefly took the lead. Mangum came right back, evening things up again at 22, but the Golden Flashes then drilled a three to take the 25-22 lead. After a bucket from redshirt junior Nick Madray, the score stood at 25-24 with 3:45 remaining in the first half. After Kent State pushed the lead to three, Mangum drained a long ball to tie the game once again at 27.

The Golden Flashes scored the first points of the second half, tying the game at 35 shortly after.

Mangum then sunk his third long ball of the game, making it 41-38 EMU with 15:35 to go. The trend continued, with the Richmond, Va. native drilling his fourth three pointer of the game, keeping the EMU lead at three, 44-41. From there, both teams continually went to the free throw line, as the scoring slowed down and stood at 46-45 with 11:48 remaining. Following a media timeout, Kent tied the game for the 10th time at 47 apiece. Eastern roared back on the ensuing possessions, retaking the lead, 51-47, with less than 10 minutes to play.

As the clock ticked down, Eastern trailed by two, 62-60, with less than two minutes to go. A clutch bucket from Mangum kept the KSU lead at two, 64-62, with 1:24 remaining. Toney then sunk two huge free throws to even things up at 64 with just 39 seconds left. However, Kent State then converted four of their own to put the game out of reach for EMU. The game ended shortly after with a final tally of 70-64. The Eagles will next make the long trip west to DeKalb, Ill. for a bout with the Huskies of Northern Illinois. Action from the NIU Convocation Center is slated to begin at 3:30 p.m.

The Eagles (13-11, 5-6 MAC) were handed their third loss in a row when the Rockets (12-12, 5-6 MAC) knocked off the Green and White, 73-57, at John F. Savage Arena.

The Green and White finished the game 25-of-55 (45.5 percent) from the floor, mirroring the offensive performance from Northern Illinois. The difference came at the free throw line, however, as NIU finished 24-of-29 (82.8 percent), while EMU was 12-of-20 (60 percent). Eastern came out on top in second chance points, 16-10, in addition to also matching the Huskies with seven three pointers.

The Eagles’ offense struggled in the contest, shooting just 39.1 percent from the floor, meanwhile Toledo knocked down at a scorching 52.8 percent. The Rockets connected on 10 triples while the Green and White struggled, hitting just three threepointers in the game. Despite forcing 15 Toledo turnovers and turning the ball over just nine times, the Eagles were only able to manage 12 points off those flip flops.

Senior Willie Mangum IV paced the EMU attack, totaling 17 points with four three pointers, along with four assists. Both sophomore James Thompson IV and senior Ty Toney notched 12 points, with Thompson also pitching in seven boards and three assists, while Toney notched two rebound and two assists.

Senior Ty Toney paced the Eagle offense, scoring 13 points on 6-of-16 shooting, while senior Willie Mangum IV poured in 11. Sophomore James Thompson IV notched nine points and led the game with 11 rebounds, while junior Tim Bond and redshirt sophomore Jordan Nobles each contributed eight points each, respectively.

Thompson continued his solid overall start to the game, dishing a nice assist to redshirt junior Nick Madray for an easy layup. After that, a 5-0 Huskies run pulled NIU within two, 16-14, at the second media timeout of the half. After a brief lead for Northern Illinois, junior Tim Bond sunk EMU’s third three pointer of the game to make it 19-17. After the Huskies tied it up, Toney sunk a mid-range jumper to put the Green and White back in front by two, 21-19.

The Green and White opened the scoring with a Mangum floater before the Rockets scored six in a row on a pair of Jordan Lauf three pointers. Both squads went scoreless for over two minutes before Toledo knocked down a layup with 15:47 to go. Eastern responded with a 7-0 run to take their first lead of the game, 9-8, with 14:05 left in play.

Thompson was then hacked on a dunk attempt with less than 10 seconds to go, and the sophomore sunk both to keep EMU within seven. At half, the Huskies held a 40-33 lead in large part due to 16 free throws. The second half began with a beautiful feed from Toney to sophomore Baylee Steele, who scored his first points of the game and made it 40-35. A put back from Thompson continued the attack, making it 40-37 through the first three minutes of the half. An unfortunate swing went in favor of NIU shortly after, as Eastern nearly swiped the Huskies’ pocket for an easy bucket, but instead Northern took it right back for an easy dunk. The NIU offense continued scoring, pushing the lead to nine, 46-37, before Mangum sunk his fourth three of the game. After three more points for Northern, Toney went to the line on back-to-back possessions and tacked two for EMU, with the score standing at 51-42 with about 12 minutes left to play. The Huskies then pushed the lead to double digits, 54-44, at the media timeout. A three from Wofford-Humphrey cut the score back down to single digits, 55-47, but NIU came right back on the other end with a pair of free throws. Mangum then banked in a shot off the glass, pulling within seven, 56-49 as the 10-minute mark passed. As had been the trend, anytime that the Eagles began to chip away at the lead, NIU came right back and halted the run. At the 8:24 mark, Eastern trailed by 11, 62-51. Steele then showed off some quick hands, corralling a tough pass and laying it in for two. From there, the Eagles struggled to get things moving offensively, while the Huskies padded their lead to make it 68-53 with just over five minutes remaining. The onslaught continued, as NIU hit a three to push the score to 73-54.

After a UT make, Bond came back down the floor and finished an old-fashioned three-point play after finishing through Toledo contact to regain the lead, 12-10, with just under 13 minutes to go in the first half. The Rockets responded with five consecutive, knocking down their third triple to this point. Buckets were traded until the third timeout with Toledo holding a one-point lead, 19-18, with 6:35 to go. The two squads were offensively challenged through the remainder of the first half as the Rockets closed out the final five minutes with a 7-4 run and the Green and White trailed, 26-22, at the break. Toledo scored on four of its first five possessions in the second half, extending the Rocket lead to nine, 35-26. The Green and White was able to get back to within five, however the Midnight Blue and Gold responded by scoring eight in a row and taking a double-digit lead, 48-35, for the first time in the game at the 11:32 mark. The Eagles attempted to make a run as Mangum scored five-straight for EMU before Toledo’s Jonathan Williams connected on a triple to keep the double digit advantage with 10:16 to go in the game. Toney went on a 9-3 run of his own to bring Eastern back within seven, 54-47, with just over seven minutes to go. The Toney run, however, sparked a quick 8-0 Toledo run on the back of a pair of three pointers to give the Rockets a 15-point, 62-47, advantage. Toney ended that Rocket spurt with a floater on the next possession but UT remained in control down the stretch finishing on an 11-8 run to complete the victory over EMU, 73-57. The Green and White return home Friday, Feb. 10, to square off with the University of Akron at 7 p.m. The game will be a rematch of the Eagles’ 70-63 setback at Akron, Jan. 20, and will be nationally televised on ESPNU.

Thompson then threw down a nice dunk, getting fouled in the process. Senior Ray Lee then notched his third point of the game on a pair of free throws, but NIU remained in front by 17, 77-60. Wofford-Humphrey followed with a nice put back bucket, giving him seven on the day, which is just one behind his career-high. Redshirt sophomore Jordan Nobles then scored his first points of the game on a three, making it 78-65 with two minutes left. The Huskies chewed up clock from there, with the game coming to an end with a final tally of 81-69. Eastern remains on the road next week, making the quick trip south for a game against Toledo, Tuesday, Feb. 7. Action in Toledo, Ohio is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

YPSILANTI, Mich. – Eastern Michigan University’s men’s basketball team saw itself lose its fourth straight game Friday, Feb. 10, when the University of Akron put on a lights-out three-point shooting display at the Convocation Center, connecting on 18 triples. The Eagles (13-12, 5-7 MAC) ended up on the wrong end of an 87-76 decision as the Zips (21-4, 11-1) picked up their league-leading 11th Mid-American Conference victory of the season. Sophomore James Thompson IV continued his exceptional season donning the Green and White, putting up 19 points and grabbing 14 rebounds on his way to his 14th double-double of the 2016-17 campaign. Senior guard Willie Mangum IV was the Eagles’ leading scorer, posting 22 points, while fellow backcourt mate and senior Ty Toney added 17 points and five assists of his own. As a team, Eastern Michigan had an impressive offensive performance shooting 29of-64 (45.3 percent) from the floor, while hitting 41.7 percent of its three-point shots. However, the Zips connected on an astounding 18 triple tries in 34 attempts, while shooting 52.9 percent from both the floor and the long line. Despite out-rebounding Akron, 39-26, UA’s offensive output was too much for the Eagles. The scoring started when Akron’s Antino Jackson connected on a dead spot triple in the Zips’ first possession, giving UA a quick 3-0 lead, but the Green and White came back with a 7-0 run to take their largest lead of the game, 7-3. Akron responded with a quick four points, before the two squads traded buckets back and forth. Looking at an 11-9 lead with 14:27 to go in the first half, Eastern Michigan saw the Zips go on a 9-0 run on the back of three straight three balls and fell behind 18-11. The offenses traded blows until Akron gained its largest lead of the first half, 2717, after Daniel Utomi knocked down his second three pointer of the game at the 8:08 mark. The Green and White fought back to within five, 33-28, with 2:20 to go before scoring six in a row and taking their last lead of the game, 34-33, with 34 seconds on the clock. On the final possession of the quarter, Akron’s Isaiah Johnson converted a layup with just three seconds to go, giving the Zips the one-point, 35-34, lead at the half. Akron opened up the second half on a 27-14 run, going 9-of-14 from the floor and 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, stretching out its lead to 14, 62-48, over the first 10-plus minutes of the first half. The zips remained on top by double digits for the next few minutes before Mangum went on a 7-0 run of his own to bring in to within nine, 70-61, with 5:16 to go. Akron’s three point barrage continued hitting another pair of triples to regain the double-digit lead and the Zips cruised to an 11-point, 87-76, win through the final five minutes of game action. Eastern remains at home Tuesday, Feb. 14, when the Eagles welcome Ohio University to the Convocation Center. EMU is looking to sweep the Bobcats after defeating OU in Athens, Ohio, 53-49, earlier this season.

Thompson led the Eagles in the early goings, posting six points and three rebounds in the opening six minutes. OU continued attacking, opening an eight-point lead, 15-7, before Madray sunk a solid mid-range jumper to cut the lead to six. The Green and White built off the momentum, as Toney drove the lane and sunk the layup to make it a four-point game, 15-11, at the 11-minute mark. The scoring slowed down for roughly two minutes before Bond converted a pair of free throws to tack on two more for Eastern. After another long ball from Ohio, Toney converted one of his own, keeping the OU lead at two, 18-16. After a steal from Thompson, the Baton Rouge, La. native fired a pass to redshirt senior Ray Lee, who took it to the hoop and got EMU back within three, 24-21.

GAME 27 • Feb. 18, 2017 • University Arena• Kalamazoo, Mich.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Despite a hot-shooting afternoon, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team could not match Western Michigan University’s sharp-shooting in an 88-80 setback Saturday, Feb. 18, in Mid-American Conference action inside University Arena. The Broncos (11-15, 7-7 MAC) connected on eight three-point tries to squander a 58.2 percent (35-of-55) shooting performance by the Eagles (13-14, 5-9 MAC). Playing in his 129th career game in an EMU uniform, redshirt senior Ray Lee became the program’s all-time leader in games played surpassing Jamell Harris (2009-13). Lee returned to his previous form with his best game since Jan. 24 with a 27-point performance on 10-for-17 shooting. The total was Lee’s most since the season-opener in double-overtime at Pittsburgh, Nov. 11, 2016.. Senior Ty Toney and sophomore James Thompson IV were the only other Eagles in double figures with 13 points apiece, respectively. For the game, EMU shot above 50 percent for just the third time in conference play, but struggled from the free throw line going 12-of-21. With the victory, Western Michigan (11-15, 7-7 MAC) avenged an earlier loss to EMU at the Convocation Center and kept pace in a compacted MAC West Division. Meanwhile, Eastern Michigan (13-14, 5-9 MAC) dropped its sixth consecutive contest for the first time since the 2010-11 season. EMU jumped out to the early 8-2 edge just two minutes into the contest thanks in part to three steals on the defensive end of the floor. The Bronco’s offensive woes continued as the field goal drought grew for more than four minutes before Wilder answered with an off-balance shot in the lane to cut the EMU edge to four, 8-4, with 15:34 remaining. Lee’s early production continued to pay off with his first three-pointer since Jan. 24 to make it 18-13, however, Jarrin Randel answered with a trey of his own for the home team. Another triple promptly followed for the Broncos following an EMU strip at midcourt to give WMU its first lead of the game at 21-20 with 9:56 still to play in the half. The advantage continued to see saw back and forth with neither side able to build a leader larger than four. A layup by Haymond at the 3:06 mark finally broke the spell and gave the senior his 11th point of the half at 35-29. Eastern was red-hot from the floor in the first half, shooting a season-best 60 percent (15-of-25) with Lee leading the way with 10 points. WMU was even better from outside making five threes as they shot a 54 percent clip (15-of-28) overall. The other telling number of the stanza, the Broncos ability to get to open look with nine assists to just two for the Eagles. Out of the locker room, EMU went inside to Thompson on its first three possessions of the half to pull back within four, 43-39. Much as was the case though in the opening frame, each time WMU answered with a run of its own to keep the momentum squarely in its favor. The Eagles’ defense continued to be up to the task, but foul troubles were beginning to mount with four different players having to play with three-or-more fouls. Playing the odds, Haymond was able to sneak free down low to connect on his eighth field goal with 9:28 left to make it 67-54. Needing an answer, Lee drilled another trey to get back within single-digits. The sides would continue to battle but EMU was unable to get any closer than eight for the remainder of the contest as the Broncos captured an 88-78 victory. Eastern Michigan remains on the road Tuesday, Feb. 22, with a visit to Ball State University. Game time is schedule for 7 p.m. at Worthen Arena in Muncie, Ind.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team was eliminated from the Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament today, March 9, as the No. 1 seeded University of Akron defeated the Green and White by a final tally of 79-62. The Eagles (16-17, 7-11 MAC) pulled within single digits in the closing minutes, but Akron (25-7, 14-4 MAC) made clutch plays down the stretch to advance to the semifinals. Eastern finished the game 21-of-57 (36.8 percent) from the floor, while also going a strong 17-of-20 (85 percent) from the free throw line. EMU narrowly won the rebounding battle, 36-35, in addition to forcing 10 Akron turnovers. The Eagles turned those into five steals, cashing them in for 10 points off turnovers. Leading the way for the Green and White was sophomore James Thompson IV, who notched his 39th career double-double with 18 points and 16 boards. In fact, Thompson already had a double-double with nearly eight minutes remaining in the first half. Redshirt senior Ray Lee finished with 17 points, including a pair of three-pointers, in addition to three assists and three steals. Both junior Tim Bond and senior Ty Toney also hit the double-digit mark, scoring 11 and 10, respectively. After a slow start from both teams, the Eagles were the first on the board, as a put back from Thompson gave the Green and White a 2-0 lead through the opening minutes of play. The sophomore continued to carry the Eagles in the early goings, converting a three-point play to make it 5-1 at the 16:15 mark. The hot streak for EMU kept rolling, with Thompson nailing a mid-range jumper and following up with another dunk, putting the score at 9-3. The Baton Rouge, La. native tacked on two more before the first media timeout, giving him all 11 of EMU’s points. Akron continued to roll, going on an 11-0 run to open up a nine-point lead, 30-21, before Lee hit a free throw and a jumper, before Bond fired a long ball to pull within three, 30-27, at halftime. Akron opened the half with their fifth three-pointer of the game, pushing the lead back to six, 33-27. Toney scored EMU’s first points of the half, going two-for-two from the free throw line to keep it within six, 35-29. From there, Lee hit two more free throws to come within four, 35-31, before Akron returned the favor and converted a pair of their own. The first media timeout of the second half saw the Zips in front by eight, 39-31. Bond hit a mid-range jumper, but the clock became an issue for the Green and White, as Akron held a 13-point lead with three minutes left. Redshirt senior Quaran Jones (Fargo, N.D.-Ecorse (Findlay)) scored his first points of the game on a pair of free throws, after which Toney drove the lane to cut the lead to 12, 71-59. EMU added three more, but eventually were eliminated by Akron by a final tally of 79-62. With the loss, Eastern is eliminated from the MAC Tournament, putting an end to the 2016-17 season. The Eagles finished the year with a record of 16-17. Thompson finished his sophomore campaign with the 358 rebounds, besting his freshman year by six. The 358 boards ranks third in a single season at Eastern. Additionally, Lee completed the 2016-17 campaign with an 85.7 free throw percentage, good for the best mark in a year by an Eagle, he completed his career with 1,873 points, the fourth-most in school history.

FIRST DANCE

After recording a fourth-place finish in the MidAmerican 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, 9588, 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 Complex 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.

NCAA 1990-91: “SWEET 16” 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 chemistry 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 Championship. 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 capture the nation’s imagination as a true “Cinderella” team. Eastern was able to make it to the NCAA tournament 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 Score By Periods came up with two big wins in Syracuse. In the first Team 1st 2nd Final game, Eastern knocked off No. 5 seed Mississippi Eastern Michigan 35 41 76 Mississippi State 28 28 56 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 EMU in the NCAA Tournament 1987-88 March 18, 1988 # 2 Pittsburgh 108, # 15 Eastern Michigan 90 the No. 1 seeded Tarheels of North Carolina, turned 1990-91 March 15, 1991 # 12 Eastern Michigan 76, # 5 Mississippi State 56 back a charged-up EMU team, 93-67. March 17, 1991 # 12 Eastern Michigan 71, # 13 Penn State 68 (OT) Carl Thomas was magnificent against North Sweet 16 March 22, 1991# 1 North Carolina 93, # 12 Eastern Michigan 67 Carolina, scoring 27 points in 33 minutes to earn a 1995-96 March 14, 1996 # 9 Eastern Michigan 75, # 8 Duke 60 spot on the All-Regional team. March 15, 1996 # 1 Connecticut 95, # 9 Eastern Michigan 81 On the year, center Kennedy was named MAC 1997-98 March 12, 1998 # 4 Michigan State 83, # 13 Eastern Michigan 71 Player of the Year and joining him on the All-MAC first team was Lorenzo Neely while Carl Thomas was a second-team All-MAC pick.

HITTING THE ROAD FOR THE NIT

It just doesn’t get any more exciting than the Eagles’first-ever appearance in the National Invitation 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 memorable one with a heartbreaking 86-85 doubleovertime 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 necessity. 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 electricity Sunday, March 12, 1996, when the EMU squad, along with a huge group of fans and supporters, was on hand for the nationally televised NCAA Pairings Show. The packed house of fans roared with excitement and anticipation when it was announced that Eastern Michigan and Duke would be opponents 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) dominated, 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” DOME DANCE: SECOND ROUND

The second-round matchup had Eastern squaring off against No. 1-seeded Connecticut. The Eagles came out with a vengeance against the heavily favored Huskies, racing to a 13-point lead, 32-19, with 12:09 left in the first half. Eastern held a 48-47 halftime lead. The second half belonged to UConn, however, as the Huskies out scored EMU by a 48-33 margin for the 95-81 win. Seniors Tolbert and Theron Wilson closed out their magnificent careers in style, with Tolbert scoring 36, including seven triples, and Wilson adding 18.

NCAA 1997-98: “A TEAM OF DESTINY”

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 Manager 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.

A TEAM OF DESTINY HEADS 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 possessed 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 advantage 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.

POSTSEASON BOUND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1998

After a 16-year hiatus, the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team made its first postseason appearance since the 1997-98 campaign when the Eagles earned a berth into the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Under third-year head coach Rob Murphy, the Green and White possessed one of the most talented teams in recent history, as the Eagles had a historic season. It was the first season that Eastern had won 20 games in a single year since the 1997-98 season. In addition to that feat, it was also a year that saw EMU tie the most wins since the 1996-97 season. Eastern Michigan entered the Mid-American Conference Tournament as the No. 6 seed, earning its way to Cleveland, Ohio with a victory at home versus Central Michigan. On a neutral court, the Eagles used double-digit deficit comeback victories versus No. 7 Northern Illinois and No. 3 Buffalo in consecutive days to make its first run to the MAC Tournament Semifinal since the 1997-98 season. Despite a loss to the No. 2 seeded Toledo Rockets in the semifinal, the Green and White used its 21 wins to earn a spot in the 32-team field of the CIT. Eastern opened the tournament with a contest versus Norfolk State. In its first postseason contest in 16 years, the men’s basketball team came out victorious over the Norfolk State Spartans, 58-54, in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, March 18, at the Convocation Center. The win marks the first postseason victory in program history since the 1995-96 campaign as well as the most wins for the Eagles (22-14) in a season since they totaled 22 wins in 1996-97. EMU drained 19-of-46 (41.3 percent) from the field as well as 7-of-17 (41.2 percent) from three point land. Mike Talley had a team-high 14 points, including 11 in the first half. Ray Lee added 12 on 5-of-11 shooting. The Eagles shot 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) from the free throw line, making just enough down the stretch to secure the four-point win. On the opposite side of the floor, the nation’s number one field goal percentage defense forced 17 turnovers that led to 18 points.

BACK-TO-BACK POSTSEASON PERFORMANCES

It took 16 years for the Eagles to return to the postseason but the EMU men’s basketball team continued postseason play for the second straight season in 2014-15 by accepting a bid to the College Basketball Invitational when Eastern squared off with the University of Louisiana Monroe for the first time in school history. EMU saw its 2014-15 campaign end Wednesday, March 18, at Monroe, 71-67, in the first round of the 2015 CBI. The Eagles trailed by as many as 16 in the second half, but roared back to take the lead with just over eight minutes remaining. Eastern, however, could not hang on as the Warhawks used free throws to ice the game. Ray Lee led the Green and White in scoring with 17 points, on his way to becoming the first EMU studentathlete to notch 1,000 points in his career since Brandon Bowdry accomplished that feat, Jan. 3, 2010. Tim Bond put on a show as the “true” freshman went for 13 points, six assists, four rebounds, two blocks and two steals in the Eagles’season finale, while Trent Perry went a perfect 4-for-4 from the floor, including a pair of triples to record a career-high 10 points in the loss.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 71st year of service to our students. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championship events as it hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a four-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2019 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five-year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC recently served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and will also serve as host of the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, and select men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN will establish on-campus production capabilities that will provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN3. This will open up nearly 92 million households from ESPN3 for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced a four-year sub-licensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2018-19 season. During the 2015 season, the MAC tied a Conference record with seven programs receiving a bowl invitation. Bowling Green (GoDaddy Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Toledo (Marmot Boca Raton Bowl), Ohio (Raycom Media Camellia Bowl), Western Michigan (Popeyes Bahamas Bowl), Akron (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl), and Central Michigan (Quick Lane Bowl) represented the MAC in bowl games last season. The seven MAC bowl invitations matches the Conference record for programs receiving a bowl invitation in a single season, which also occurred during the 2012 bowl season. This also marks the eighth time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) in a single-season. In December of 2015, the MAC named Bowling Green QB Matt Johnson as the league’s Vern Smith Leadership Award Winner and MAC Offensive Player of the Year. Also receiving accolades, Akron LB Jatavis Brown earned MAC Defensive Player of the Year, Western Michigan RB Jamauri Bogan won MAC Freshman of the Year, NIU kick returner Aregeros Turner won MAC Special Teams Player of the Year Award and former Toledo head coach Matt Campbell won MAC Coach of the Year. Four MAC students were named 2015 Academic All-Americans as selected by the College of Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Buffalo senior tight end Matt Weiser and Kent State senior safety Jordan Italiano were named Academic All-America First-Team, while Kent State junior safety Nick Cuthbert and Bowling Green sophomore punter Joe Davidson were named Academic All-America Second-Team. In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Marmot Boca Raton, Popeyes Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Marmot Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Raycom Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the Mobile Alabama Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. During the 2015 football season, Bowling Green won the 2015 Marathon MAC Football Championship with a 34-14 win over NIU. This marked the second MAC Championship for Bowling Green in the last three seasons and the programs 12th overall Conference Championship. Bowling Green also clinched the East Division title for the program’s third consecutive East Division crown, while Northern Illinois won its sixth consecutive MAC West Division title as the Huskies won the tie-breakers in the four-way tie for first place in the West with NIU, Toledo, Western Michigan and Central Michigan. Bowling Green’s Matt Johnson set the Conference record for single-season passing yards (4,700), passing touchdowns (43) and the Falcons offense set the league record for single-season total offense (7,293 yards).

Eastern Michigan University 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 jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course, and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. 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 University, 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 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students

With nearly 22,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 4,000 graduate students. Our students represent 49 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are fulltime and 59 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 66 percent white; 18 percent black; 3 percent international; 3 percent Asian-American; 4 percent Hispanic, 0.2 percent Native-American, and 6 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitorystyle 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. Ninetyfour percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 17:1. 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 undergraduate research.

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

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 community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Representing more than 160,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

Our History

1897: MSNS is the first U.S. teacher’s college to become a four-year institution.

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 Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian 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 community 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 workers.

Board of Regents The Board of Regents is the governing body of Eastern Michigan University. Its current format was created when the State of Michigan ratified a new constitution Jan. 6, 1964. The Board comprises eight regents who are appointed to eight-year terms by the governor. “Other institutions of higher education established by law having authority to grant baccalaureate degrees shall each be governed by a board of control which shall be a body corporate. The board shall have general supervision of the institution and the control and direction of all expenditures from the institution’s funds. It shall, as often as necessary, elect a president of the institution under its supervision. He shall be the principal executive officer of the institution and be ex-officio a member of the board without the right to vote. The board may elect one of its members or may designate the president to preside at board meetings. Each board of control shall consist of eight members who shall hold office for terms of eight years, not more than two of which shall expire in the same year, and who shall be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Vacancies shall be filled in like manner.” -- Michigan Constitution of 1963 (ratified 1964), Article 8

Convocation Center

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 19th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and upgrade university facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedication game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for six Mid-American Conference Championships. EMU hosted the 2000, 2007 and 2014 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002, 2009 and 2016 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for 10 first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, eight first-round games for the men’s basketball squad and four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games. The building also played host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and a pair of contests during the 2014 Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Meanwhile, the EMU men’s basketball team hosted the first round of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the program’s first postseason home game. 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 acts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smashmouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, 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 conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. 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.

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program. 2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS   Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective studentathlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Do not visit a prospect’s school to acquire films or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility; • Do not have contact with a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives or friends) during any of their visits to EMU’s campus; • Do not contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.

The EMU Identity NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES 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” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result 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 appropriateness 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. GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.” EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 18 representatives in 56 years, 15 men and three women.

Student Athlete Support 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 support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the studentathlete 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 assistance 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 education 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. Tara MasterHunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel 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 and the team dentist. 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.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning

Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifically and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse collection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execution before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental toughness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vocal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.
