YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Despite 23 points from Addison Patterson, the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team dropped a 90-83 decision to IU Indy Friday, Nov. 14, inside the George Gervin GameAbove Center.
Patterson (Mississauga, Ontario/Bella Vista/Oregon/Nevada/Salt Lake CC/Tallahassee State/Northwestern State) was 4-for-4 from three-point range in a game that was tied at 74-74 with 5:49 left.
Mohammad Habhab (Dearborn, Mich./Dearborn/Central Michigan) produced 15 points and 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season while Jon Sanders II (Detroit, Mich./Southfield Christian/East Los Angeles College/Coastal Carolina/Northwestern State) scored 16 points in his first start of the season.
How It Happened
A fast-paced start saw Eastern open up a 15-7 lead, helped by eight points from Patterson.

The visitors extended their lead to 52-38, their largest advantage of the contest, before EMU notched a quick 8-0 spurt.
After IU Indy pushed its lead back out to double digits, the Eagles continued to claw their way back into the contest with an 11-2 run, capped by free throws from Braelon Green (Southfield, Mich./Southfield/Arizona State/Bowling Green), to tie the game at 74-74 at the 6:08 mark.
