Eastern Michigan (11/16/19)

[CMJ]

We take on the 3-0 Eagles of EMU.  Need to rebound after getting blown out in Arkansas.

EMU....6'10"...6'8"...6'6"...6'8"...6'10"...6'8"...7'0"...6'6"  Should be interesting.

And we shoot about 31%...should be a disaster.

Interestingly Vegas seems to like us in this one.

[NTEdgex2]

We’re driving up. Going to eat at NY sub first. 
 

GMG!

Freshman Guard Jalen Jackson not in uniform for warm ups... looks like he is out today.

Why does Cusa TV suck so bad? They don't let you cast to Chromecast. The cast button is there on game screen but it just isn't active. This means I have to mirror my entire phone to cast... Essentially means I can't use my phone for the duration of the game. Anyone figured out a better way to accomplish this?

5 min before tip and crowd looks sad. We had more here last Tuesday then today... 

[chrisfisher]

Just to continue my gripe about Cusa TV, when you go to full screen landscape, it doesn't take over the entire screen. The browser bar remains and covers up about 10% of your viewing area... Amateur hour!

Not a surprise unfortunately.  I figured most of our fans aren't gonna check in on a weekend game during football season.

They are big!

NT 6 -------- EMU 2

 

15:58 to go

 

Not a great start on offense, but the D is playing well.

[untbowler]

EMU is 3-0 beating up on non-D1 teams, they may be big but not very good

So what does that say about us at this point? This is looking to be a very tough matchup. 

[Andrew]

We are undersized typically, but I love watching our defense and hustle. Our offense on the other hand is poor. If we run into opponents with size who can play defense we will struggle. 

[CMJ]

NT 11 -------- EMU 6

 

11:35 to go

 

Neither side is gonna break any scoring records this year.  🙂

Hating this offense that is just passing between Gibson and Hamlet

Yeah... but then everybody hated Benfords motion offense. People will always hate offense when they aren’t scoring haha.

[chrisfisher]

All we seem to have in our arsenal is to play pass around the perimeter. No creativity whatever. No one seems certain what they are supposed to do on offense, which is why we can't seem to score points... Not confident or in rhythm with their shots. 

[CMJ]

EMU 15 --------- NT 14

 

7:45 to go

 

Definitely struggling on offense right now.  Unfortunately EMU hit four in a row - hence their first lead.

[bstnsportsfan3]

These refs are horrible, but then again what’s new... 

[CMJ]

NT 19 --------- EMU 19 

 

3:09 to go

 

I really don't know what to say other than this is gonna be a really tough brawl.  Neither team is gonna score much today, but they're both playing hard.

[Andrew]

Down 7 at half. We are what we thought we would be... well what most people thought we would be. We need a fix. That was worse than what others considered Benford ball. We have zero offense and have relied and dumb luck with the three ball and our above average defense. This won’t be enough in conference play. 

[CMJ]

EMU 29 --------- NT 22

 

Halftime

 

If we hadn't hit a few threes today, we'd really be struggling on offense.
