CHALLENGING WAY TO OPEN A SEASON: The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team had its hands full in the 2010-11 season opener as the Eagles dropped a 96-66 non-conference decision to the No. 2 ranked Spartans of Michigan State University, Friday, Nov. 12, 2010, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. The Eagles return home Wednesday, Nov. 17, for a noon game against Madonna University. The game has been designated as “Education Day” with several thousand local elementary students attending as guests of the University.
BOWDRY WINS MAC AWARD AFTER CAREER-BEST EFFORT: EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor, Mich.-Truman) turned in a career-best performance Friday, Nov. 12, at Michigan State and he earned the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week Award for his efforts. Bowdry scored a career-high 32 points, connected on a career-best five three-point field goals and tied his career-high with 15 rebounds against the No. 2 ranked team in the nation. His 32-point, 15-rebound double-double against MSU was the 24th of his career.
NEWCOMERS GET PLAYING TIME: Four EMU players saw their first-ever action for the Eagles in the 2010-11 season opener in East Lansing Friday, Nov. 12, against the No. 2 ranked Michigan State University Spartans. Junior Darrell Lampley (Linden, N.J.-Linden-Lakeland C.C.) started at point guard and, despite early foul trouble, managed to score eight points with two assists in 23 minutes of action. Junior point guard Adrian Burton (Detroit, Mich.-Cooley-Kankakee C.C.) came off the bench to score four points with three rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes. Junior forward Kenny Stewart (Williamsport, Pa.-Notre Dame Prep-Weatherford C.C.) did not score and had one rebound in five minutes of play and redshirt freshman J.R. Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.-Snider) scored two points with two rebounds in 10 minutes.
GREEN ON TARGET: Junior Antonio Green (Inkster, Mich.-Dearborn Heights Robichaud) turned in a strong performance in the season opener at Michigan State, scoring 12 points with four rebounds. He connected on 4-of-9 three-point field goals to lead the Eagles.
BOWDRY ON THE DOUBLE-DOUBLE: EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor, Mich.-Truman) has made a habit out of turning in double-doubles during his career. The 6-foot-6 Bowdry has recorded 24 double-double scoring-rebounding efforts with the latest a 32-point, 15-rebound effort at Michigan State, Nov. 12, 2010.
MULTIPLE LEAGUES REPRESENTED ON EMU SCHEDULE: The Eagles' 2010-11 non-conference schedule will have 13 different leagues represented. Detroit and Valparaiso are the only two opponents from the same league, the Horizon. All of the other opponents are the lone representatives of their conferences. Representing the Big Ten is Michigan State, the Colonial is James Madison, the Great West is North Dakota, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference is Canisius, the Missouri Valley is Drake, the Northeast Conference is Monmouth, the Southern is Samford, the Summit is Oakland, the Western Athletic Conference is Idaho, the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is Ferris State, the Wolverine-Hoosier representative is Madonna and the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association is Rochester College.
FOR OPENERS: With the season-opening loss at Michigan State Friday, Nov. 12, EMU now has a 65-49 record in season openers while Charles Ramsey is 3-3 in lid-lifters. The Eagles are 9-68 against the Big Ten, playing everyone except Northwestern.
BOWDRY IS PICK FOR MAC PRESEASON TEAM: EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) has been selected to the Mid-American Conference West Division preseason first team in a vote by the MAC News Media Association. Bowdry was the only player in the MAC to average double figures in points and rebounds last year, at 16.4 ppg and 10.0 rpg. In addition, Bowdry finished the 2009-10 season with 16 double-doubles, the 20th best effort in the nation.
FOR THE 114th TIME: The 2010-11 season is the 114th of men's intercollegiate basketball for the Eastern Michigan University Eagles. Eastern played its first season in 1897-98 and split games with Detroit, losing a 2-0 decision before coming back for a 4-0 victory. The 2007-08 season will also be the 34th 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 overall and 4-9 in league play. EMU has won three Mid-American Conference titles: 1987-88, 1990-91, and 1995-96, and the Green and White captured MAC Tournament crowns in all three of those years in addition to winning the tournament title in 1997-98.
