We will find out some things tomorrow.. How will we handle Thompson and their new 6-9 transfer. How will we handle the Zone.. We are going to need our good shooters to hit the open shots playing a zone creates. EMU is not an elite MAC team we need to win this one especially at home.

The EMU teams of recent years have struck me as teams that would be dangerous if they played smart basketball. Fortunately for us, they haven't had much luck doing that. Here's hoping that trend holds up for another year.

We need to take our level of play up several notches now. We haven’t played that well the last few weeks and Persons hasn’t really been the same since the Valpo game. Emu is long and athletic and we struggle against that. We have no One who can check Thompson. Hopefully our shots are falling against their zone.

Maybe not, but on a given night as tough an out as anyone. MAC slightly weaker at the top this year, but next teams down, past top half, maybe stronger. We're better, too, but we face a dozen games like this where if they play well, we will have a hard time. Might need our best game.

On their board, they claim we've figured out their zone: csnbbs.com/thread-838790.html

One poster hates us most for that game in Ypsilanti where the refs swallowed their whistles on that weird play. I guess Whitford should have offered to change the score. They also call BSU - EMU a rivalry. I would consider WMU more of one but maybe WMU doesn't feel the same way, I don't know.
One thing I do know is that they like to blame the refs for their losses. They lost to Oakland because of the officiating and Syracuse as well.

I attended the infamous game at Eastern a couple years ago. I lived in Northville, 20 minutes away at the time. On the way out after the game had concluded, a gentlemen who must have been 80 tried to start a fight with me. THEY WERE MAD. Sounds like they can't let it go.

If that happens then I really will have to question whether or not we have really turned the corner

I lived in Northville as well at one time. Moved in the day before our 2008 debacle at Ford Field for the MAC FB Championship. Nice community but I was working for a Russian steelmaker and absolutely hated the billionaire oligarch Alexi Mordashov I had to see/deal with way too often. I left after one year and built my current home on Kentucky Lake outside of Murray, KY. One of the best decisions I have made!

If that happens then I really will have to question whether or not we have really turned the corner Depends on which team we are--the one that beat ND, or the one that's slogged through meh games the last couple weeks. Need our shooters to be ON against that zone, and Moses needs to be assertive against those bigs they have (and not get turned over 5+ times) Time for Persons to break of out his mini-slump.

Our recent play has been horrendous, but the competition has been even worse. Hopefully we'll get it together.
