TV announcers doing a good job explaining EMU's weaknesses: last in the MAC in rebounding. Again the front court is not getting the job done.

And if a team doesn't rebound well, they won't run well. Hence, a bunch of offense after the other team's made baskets.

WMU has 6 offensive rebounds and we are still in the 1st half.

Turnover city. Emoni with 2 TOs late.

Noah with 4 turnovers, and Emoni is its 3 turnovers… in the first half! Those would be bad numbers for a whole game.

Nice half for Billingsley, 7 points, 4 rebounds, and a steal… although 2 turnovers.

Down 8 at half 36 to 28

Are Steve and I the only ones watching anymore?

Very very painful to watch. Emoni must have at least 4 TOs and very poor shot selection forcing it up when teammates are open. Even Noah having silly unpressured turnovers. Do we have any assists???

Win or lose this game - it’s going to be a loooooong season.

Nobody wants to box out for rebounds, we don’t move the ball (no assists), too many bad shots (looking at Emoni), too many TOs (Emoni, Noah, team). Very painful to watch this basketball!

Can we get to 10 wins?

It's hard to watch this team! Only down by 6! Billingsleys best half at EMU! If Emoni hits his average then we will win! 21! Farrakhan needs to put in A different position, this isn't the same player we saw last season! Adjustments coach Heath! This isn't A very good WMU team! Gave up 102 last game to Toledo! Let's get to 2-1 in the MAC! Akron will be much more difficult!

How long is Heath's contract?

BTW, I'm enjoying the WMU ESPN+ telecast. The PxP is good. The color guy is better, yet. Is he a former coach, if so who?

The color guy has backdoor screens. Shell 4 on Bates.

What I like is that the PxP man calls the EMU roster as easily as he does the WMU team. He has all of the EMU players numbers down.

Stat time: EMU 3 Offensive Rebounds. WMU 12. Enough said?

Your question is valid! We're looking at 4-12, and 1-2 in the MAC! This is the easiest part of our MAC schedule! Murphy was a much better coach! Like him, or not, he would've gotten way more out these players!

We have a game.

Yes, Those two missed FT really hurt!

Western is terrible! I'm done commenting on this team. On to football.

I'll take the bait (not Bates). When does spring ball begin?

Jerry Weaver, I believe it's WMU first D1 win this season!
Perfectly said as usual!

Close. Houston Christian is actually a D-I team. Southland Conference.

So this was their 2nd win and 1st conference win.

I don't want to quote a number or percentage but D-I hoops has maybe grown by say 50 teams in the last 25 years.

I guarantee you Houston Christian, Incarnate Word, etc. were not D-I 25 years ago.

BTW, what just hit me: Houston Christian was formerly known as Houston Baptist.
