EAGLES BACK HOME TO HOST DRAKE: The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team returns from a five-game road stand to host the Drake university Bulldogs Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 8 p.m. in the second game of a doubleheader with the EMU women's squad. The EMU women are slated to host the University of Detroit Mercy at 6 p.m. followed by the men's matchup with Drake, a half hour after the conclusion of the women's contest.
EMU is coming off a tough five-game road swing that ended in a 75-60 loss at Idaho, Dec. 5, in the third and final game of the Basketball Travelers Invitational played in Moscow, Idaho.
Drake, meanwhile, is 2-4 on the year after a 78-67 loss at Colorado State, Dec. 1.
EMU VS. DRAKE: EMU and Drake will be meeting for the third time in the series with the Eagles holding a 2-0 edge. The two teams first met, Nov. 30, 1996, on Drake's home court in Des Moines, Iowa and Eastern recorded a 96-81 win. The other contest was played Nov. 15, 1997, in Bowen Field House and Eastern won, 86-58.
WELCOME BACK: The Eagles will be glad to see the inside of the Convocation Center after a tough five-game road swing that saw them go winless. Eastern will now host Drake Wednesday, Dec. 8, followed by a Saturday, Dec. 11, home game with the University of Detroit Mercy. Drake enters Wednesday's game with a 2-4 mark while the Titans of Detroit are 5-4 with a Dec. 8 date at Western Michigan on the horizon.
