Don't sleep on eastern Michigan. They are good. We will need to be clicking for most of the game.

Per KenPom:

SMU is projected to win 74-65 (79% Win Probability)

When SMU has the ball:
SMU Off: Scoring 107.7 pts. / 100 possessions (#44)
EMU Def: Giving up 97.6 pts. / 100 possessions (#90)
SMU is grabbing 51.6% of available offensive rebounds (#3 nationally)
SMU is turning it over on 27.6% of its possessions (#245) - will regress to the mean, especially considering that many of our TOs were unforced

When EMU has the Ball
EMU Off: Scoring 104.8 pts. / 100 possessions (#81)
SMU Def: Giving up 93.0 pts. / 100 possessions (#33)

I get to sit on the floor today hooray

EMU is coming off a 2OT loss on Friday night to PITT 93-90. I've got to imagine that the Eagles did not leave Pitt until very late Friday night or early Saturday morning. I think that the quick turnaround will play into our favor - hopefully we push the pace (we are #330 in adjusted tempo (# of possessions / game)).

EMU's Ray Lee played 42 of 50 minutes on Friday and scored 27 points on 7-13 shooting (2-9 from downtown) and 7-7 from the stripe.

Tim Bond, who fouled out after only 26 minutes, was their most productive offensive player (129 offensive rating) scoring 21 points on 6-8 shooting and 6-8 from the line.

The Iggggles look to have size on the block with 5 guys 6'9 or taller (15 offensive rebs). We'll need to get bodies on these guys and limit second chance points.

Expect a TON of 3's from us against the 2-3 zone they run. On the other end they are going to try to pound the ball inside on us. Not a team to sleep on. Hope everyone shows up and cheers on the ponies to give us that big time home court advantage.

Not even a chair?

Great weekend if we can go 2-0 on the hardwood with a victory on the gridiron.

My view

1/3 full at tipoff

94 on the floor is a barometer

Love you man!

Noticed on StubHub they were selling seats that used to sell for 800 for big games for 30 bucks 104...

Crowd looks horrible on the feed

Late arriving getting my better

I see 94 on the floor
That rhymes

Announcers are saying it is full so at least we are getting good pub whether it is or not
