EMU BACK HOME FOR BATTLE WITH WEST DIVISION LEADER BALL STATE: After dropping a road decision at Western Michigan Sunday, Jan. 16, the Eagles return to the friendly confines of the Convocation Center to host Ball State University Wednesday, Jan. 19, in a 7 p.m. Mid-American Conference West Division battle. The Eagles enter the game with a 4-12 overall record and a 1-2 MAC mark.
Ball State currently leads the MAC West with a perfect 3-0 mark and the Cardinals are 11-4 overall after recording a 64-55 win at home against Central Michigan, Jan. 15.
FINDING WEDNESDAY'S GAME VERSUS BALL STATE ON THE RADIO: Due to Governor Rick Snyder's State of the State address Wednesday, Jan. 19, the Eastern Michigan-Ball State game will be joined in progress on WEMU (89.1 FM). Eagle All-Access will carry the complete game with the pregame show beginning at 7 p.m. Subscription packages start at just $5.95 at EMUEagles.com/showcase.
EMU VS. BALL STATE: Ball State leads the series, 53-36, but EMU has captured five of the seven match ups, including both games last season.
BOWDRY TO RETURN FROM SUSPENSION: EMU senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) missed the EMU-WMU game Sunday, Jan. 16, while serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. He is scheduled to return for Wednesday's, Jan. 19, game against Ball State. The 6-foot-6 Bowdry is EMU's leading scorer (20.9 ppg) and rebounder (10.1 rpg).
SEASON'S LOW: When the Eagles were held to just 48 points in a 65-48 setback at Western Michigan Sunday, Jan. 16, it marked the lowest offensive point total of the season for EMU. The previous low-offensive effort this season was 49 points in a 54-49 loss to North Dakota at the Basketball Travelers Tournament in Idaho.
CONVO MARKS TIED: Several EMU Convocation Center records were tied during the Eagles' battle with Northern Illinois Tuesday, Jan. 11. EMU sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) tied the arena record for three-point field goals with eight. That mark tied EMU's EMU's Ricky Cottrill (12-1-01 vs. Tennessee Tech) and Marshall's Ronald Blackshear (3-3-03 against EMU). The Eagles made14-of-32 triples, tying their own record of 14 threes, set in that same Tennessee Tech contest in 2001.
POINT A MINUTE: EMU sophomore guard Derek Thompson (Detroit, Mich.-Melvindale-SEMO) set a career-best with 31 points against Northern Illinois, Jan. 11, and he did it in 31 minutes of action.
BLOCK PARTY: Sophomore big man Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) had five blocks against Northern Illinois, Jan. 11, his second-best career effort. His top shot-blocking effort is seven, Nov. 17, 2010, at home against Madonna.
