Not unlike last season, the offense goes into the toilet when Noah isn’t on the floor. Would love to see Emoni move around some screens off the ball. Kinda stagnant.

I don’t care if I’m talking to myself in this thread.

This is going to be a FUN season.

I'm enjoying your commentary! Bates and Farrakhan are special!

Emoni from half court hoooooo boy!

I haven't seen anything in this game that changes my prediction we will be competing and winning the MAC with Bates on the team. Quite the show so far.

Keep it going, EMU. Beat scUM.

Bates 17 Farrakhan 15 in the first half! Up 45-42! Somehow we've to stop Dickinson in the 2nd half! Heath has already restored the storied program!

Emoni and Noah are special. Legend was looking fantastic before that 3rd foul (that was completely on Noah for that awful pass). Our front court is going to have some growing pains, but our guards are good enough to win games for us.

Golson had a quietly good half. He’s a rock on the glass, had some nice passes, and throws his body around so well. I thought Acuff was steady too, after missing some threes. If he can get his shot to start falling, he will be vital to our success.

I don't know how it sounds on TV, but the EMU fans here are just as loud as Michigan fans. It is a LIVELY crowd both ways, but we're punching above our weight.

By the way, the woman sitting next to me is wearing Michigan gear but told me "I'm an Emoni Bates fan" and has been cheering every Emoni bucket. I can see why with Bates outscoring Dickinson.... (I'm trolling)

It sounds very loud. You can hear the crowd every time Emoni even touches the ball. Bummed I’m not there. And I wish it could’ve been at the Gervin Center.

As good an EMU game as in decades...

Not sure why legend hasn’t been back in the game. Screw the foul trouble, we are getting dominated inside again.

BTW, who picked EMU to finish 7th in the MAC????

Free throws. The perennial struggle at EMU, no matter the coach.

Very true! Win or lose EMU basketball is back! This will really be challenging, because Michigan is shooting FT on every foul, and Dickinson we simply can't handle! Bates and Farrakhan might have to both score 30!

That pass from Lovejoy. Wub.

Man, this is going to be a fun season!!! Bates is back to being a first round draft pick.

Oh no. Please don’t be serious.
