Game 21- Eastern Michigan

[clarkwgriswold]

I don't know what's worse- the feed or the EMU team.

It’s a walk on shoot out! Crowd is into it

Is the band cheering for Evan Wilson? They are going crazy when he touches the ball 😂

[LoyalZIP]

John Groce failed to win a close game tonight. Very disappointing. 

[Reslife4Life]

They all are holding pictures of Evan, what? 😂

Tavari made a great pass and Scott just needs to finish strong at the basket.  No need to reverse and then get hurt.

They had signs with Evan's face on them that read "The Band Doesn't Forget."

Just think if we had better big men and guards!

Yes, he must have done something at their last game.

Darn Tavari, I had EMU plus 30.

Stan Heath should feel guilty for cashing his paycheck for this masterpiece.

Maybe they don't forget the walk-ons who could start on their team? 🤣

That looked like the worst team we faced.  Unforced turnovers, did not box out, and could not shoot from the outside.  Not sure if the team lacks talent or bad coaching but they just looked bad.

Someone needs to get to the bottom of this Evan Wilson EMU band mystery. @Hilltopper? 😁😉

I love winning by 30 on the road and going down from 88 to 93 in the NET. Edit: I read it wrong we went up 5

I am shocked no one has brought up the bizarre strategy Groce employed at tip-off, electing to start 4 guards and Baker?! I guess it worked, but man was I shocked.

I didn't watch the game but watched the replay, so I saw this and kept looking for Darrion Baker on the floor during the first few minutes.  No..that's Dawson.  Wait..nope that's Ali.  Hmm.

I saw Baker listed and I had to look at the box score.

A production student working the graphics was probably told to make a graphic of the “starting 5” for Akron.  To them, that meant jersey numbers 1-5. The lack of sports knowledge of some people who produce these games would stun you.

As they broke for the second half the scoreboard showed 14:52 left in the second quarter.  Not a good night for the EMU broadcast team!
