Box score.
TOLEDO, Ohio — The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team could not overcome a poor shooting night, dropping a 69-57 Mid-American Conference West Division game to the University of Toledo here Saturday (Jan. 17) night in Savage Arena.
The Eagles came up with a steady defensive effort, especially in the first half when they held Toledo to just 26 points, but Eastern made just 18-ofr-49 field-goal attempts (36.7 percent)which proved to be the difference in the game. Toledo, on the other hand, connected on 53.7 percent from the field (22-of-41).
The loss leaves EMU with a 3-14 overall record and a 1-2 MAC mark while Toledo improves to 3-14 and 1-2 in league play.
Redshirt sophomore Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) led the Eagles with 14 points while senior Tyler Jones (Belleville, Mich.-Belleville) added 10 and Zane Gay (Olivet, Mich.-Olivet) scored nine.
Toledo was paced by sophomore center Justin Anyijong with 17 while Tyrone Kent scored 13 and Jonathan Amos added 12.
After Eastern's stingy defense held Toledo to just 26 first-half points, the Eagles trailed at intermission, 26-22. The Eagles started the second half with a flurry, tying the game at 27-all with two free throws by Bowdry at the 17:46 mark.
Toledo's offense then came alive over the next seven minutes, rolling to a 48-31 lead with 10:08 remaining in the game. From that point on the Eagles could not make a significant dent in the Rocket lead and the home team closed it out with the 12-point win.
Both teams traded buckets through the early going and the game remained close before the Eagles opened up a four-point lead, 21-17, on a 3-pointer by Will Cooper (Detroit, Mich.-Pershing-Bridgton Academy) with 9:03 left in the half.
The Rockets came bck to take a 26-22 lead at the 4:10 mark on a layup by Justin Anyijong and the score stayed that way into halftime.
Cooper led the Eagles in the first half with five points while Bowdry added four, sitting for most of the first half with two fouls. Anyijong paced the Rockets in the first half with eight points.
