Pretty sure all 5 of our guys just beat them down the court.

I hope you have the chance to fulfill your dream, but if you are going to go UM you should do it for practical reasons, not for reasons of vanity.

Jeebus! Has he fallen on the depth chart. I remember when Illinois wanted him bad and I thought it was such a coup when we got him. He was the sporting news shooter of the year and like one of the best players in the state of Illinois. Apparently he went the way of Gavin Gronginger.

Dashonte Riley; former Syracuse big from class of 09 - was a 4* prospect. Already has 3 blocks. He's not EMU's typical talent.

Eastern actually has a couple very good shot blockers. They block something like 17% of thier opponents shots.

One thing I have seen is Hardaway has picked up his defensive intensity compared to last year. Either maturity or the freshmen have sparked him. Last year he played some lazy defense.

Is Morgan growing a 1970s mustache/sideburns combo? I heartily approve if this is the case.

The band played The Victors at the end of the half, as is customary, and the routine of clapping and fist pumping, etc. was hilariously uninspiring. They all looked like they were being punished. At least the ones that were on TV.
