As much as I despise Michigan and would love to beat them again, they’re probably gonna win comfortably. We will have no answer for Dickinson at all, and they’ll just keep force-feeding him until the game is out of hand. Awful matchup for us.

We’ll always have 2014 though. Probably my favorite EMU athletics moment ever.

Not so fast - we win the PG match up with Noah and we win the SF match up with Emoni. Acuff match up is neutral.

If we get out and run, have a fluid offense and hit some key 3 point shots this could go down to the wire. If it’s a one possession game at the end I like our chances.

I agree with Sam that there is a huge mismatch at center. But UM lost 4 of their 5 starters so hard to say how they will be beyond him- to Luckey’s point. Llewelyn was a nice add at PG and maybe Bufkin has a sophomore leap, etc, so might make up for all that. We will have to wait and see, but I am still optimistic.

But I also agree with Sam that Dickinson has a huge advantage in the post. However if we can get him away from the basket to guard our 5, then Dickinson doesn’t have the quicks to guard a turtle. Hopefully he doesn’t foul us out when he’s on offense. Mo would probably be sitting down within 4 minutes :-)

Now with the roster finalized this should be the next major basketball news.

The MAC tweeted that basketball schedules will soon be released. No more details than "soon" so I'd guess tomorrow or Friday.

Want Dickinson shooting away from the basket so he's not shooting at the riim where he shoots an astronomical 78 percent.

Turns out it's ready today. However, it's just the conference schedule.

For what its worth, this was also the date that the 2018-19 schedule was released (it popped up in a facebook memory because I was a little *too* excited for the team to play Duke).

Oh gosh, was that the game where we earned an NCAA record for lowest points in a first half?
