To start off the game, the Eagles (9-6, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) wasted no time in taking the lead, as they scored the first eight points. From that point on, the Eagles’ lead did not falter. At half time, the score was 28-12 in favor of EMU.
At the beginning of the second half, the Eagles went right back to building their lead and with 12:47 left, EMU had a 25-point lead on the Huskies (6-8, 0-2 MAC).
The Eagles defense was tight throughout the game, and they rarely let the Huskies penetrate the paint. The Eagles, however, were able to get into the paint a lot in the second half. Although the team was not able to knock down any three-pointers, the post players were able to make many layups.
The Eagles will travel to face Toledo at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
