EMU TO MEET FIRST MAC EAST DIVISION TEAM THIS SEASON: The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team begins its annual six-game schedule with teams from the Mid-American Conference East Division when the West Division Eagles travel to Athens, Ohio for a Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2011, 7 p.m. contest against the Ohio Bobcats in the Convocation Center. The MAC schedule is set up for the first five games to be played against teams from the same division. The next six are crossovers by division and the final five regular-season games are back in the same division.
EMU VS. OHIO: EMU and Ohio will be meeting for the 65th time with Ohio holding a 42-22 edge in the series. The two teams split the last two seasons with EMU taking a 70-61 victory in Ypsilanti, Feb. 6, 2010, and Ohio prevailing, 57-45, Feb. 7, 2009, in Athens, Ohio.
EMU enters the Ohio game with a 2-3 MAC mark and a 5-13 overall record. Ohio is 1-4 in MAC action and 8-11 overall.
SETTING A LOW MARK: The 79 total points scored in EMU's 41-38 win over CentralMichigan Sunday, Jan. 23, 2011, marked the lowest two-team total points in the 13-year history of the Convocation Center, breaking the mark of 88 set in a 46-42 Ball State win over the Eagles, Jan. 10, 2009. EMU's 41 points in Sunday's game ties the home Convo record from a 78-41 loss to Akron, Feb. 3, 2009. CMU's point total of 38 is the second lowest for an opponent in the Convocation Center, trailing only Rochester College's 29 total points in an 89-29 loss to EMU, Dec. 7, 2004.
BLOCK PARTY: Sophomore Jamell Harris (Euclid, Ohio-Euclid) has recorded 44 bloocked shots this season, the seventh-best single-season effort in school history. Harris has played in 49 career games, earning 10 starts. His 66 career blocks ties him with John Bowler (2003-06) for the ninth spot in EMU history.
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.
BOWDRY MAKES IT 32: When senior forward Brandon Bowdry (St. Louis, Mo.-Taylor (Mich.) Truman) scored 19 points with 13 rebounds in a 71-48 win at Toledo Saturday, Jan. 8., it was the 32nd double-double of his career.
