Let Rocket Watts shoot as many threes as he wants.

Ball has to be in Noah’s hands here.

Nice that he's out right now. His defense on Emoni is good.

Tyson and Noah have scored our last 14 points. Putting the team on their backs.

How was that not a foul? Lovejoy got blatantly pushed.

Great game! Two evenly matched teams. Great comeback by us.

Tough loss. Fun game to watch, but we let that slip away on so many occasions. Oh well. Grow from this. Nice to have the Tyson Acuff we all expected.

Stan needed to get the ball in Emoni's hands more down the stretch.

Lol - you read too many highlight clips.

One of the reasons we lost the game is because Noah didn’t get the rock!

We're pretenders! Many games too play ahead! Kent St, Toledo, Akron simply have more depth! Maybe, not more talent! Let's see if Heath can make a difference! We're 1-3!

That's the Emoni factor.

Just remembered that OU has the most annoying play-by-play guy ever. Not looking forward to listening to him.

"OF COURSE"!!!!

I think we lost the game with what 19 seconds to play when the EMU player made a silly foul with us up 4 points, giving Oakland two easy points and a chance to tie if we messed up (which we did) to end regulation time.

AGAIN!

For everyone who wanted to bench him after two games.

To be clear, no one wanted him benched. I did note that he started the season shooting 1/14 on threes, and hoped if he did not find his 3 point shot soon that he not take as many. I think that was the harshest criticism he received- and I think it was reasonable… anyway, glad he found his shot.

Watched the overtime only. Seemed like a good game. But yes, Emoni needs to be shooting in the end of the game. I love Lovejoy, but giving a freshman the ball at a critical time in overtime led to a turnover as one could expect.

Should make T-shirts.

That’s funny. Did not reallize the joke until I typed it out in my own post. Would make a great t-shirt!

This seemed like progress from the Bradley game. And I know it is early yet. But it stings to be 1-3 so far given the make up of this team. Seemed like a good game though.

My question for you guys is how good is Toledo this year that they dismantled Oakland so bad????

So I'm an EMU football fan and Oakland basketball fan. Here's my thoughts.....
1. Toledo is fantastic. In my opinion they are much better than EMU basketball and dominated us (Oakland) Offensively, they are unstoppable.

2. I'm not a fan of Emoni at all. I was at the game today and sat behind the Eagles bench. Between listening to the 'know it all' Uncles of a few EMU players and the overall complete lack of basketball knowledge spewing from your fans it was a watch for your team.

3. Emoni is talented, sure but will not get you to the tourney. He doesn't play great defense, does not rebound exceolptionally well and was a complainer during time outs. He sits on the left side 3 point line and can shoot in spurts.

4. Noah Farrakhan is a guy I enjoyed watching. He's a competitor and is very good.

I went to the Toledo- Oakland game. Toledo is a legit top 25-35 team. I would pick Toledo to win the MAC followed by Kent, Akron, Ohio

Yeah was is interesting is that Watts is what 6'3 guarding 6'9.
