I really feel like when Eastern Michigan changed their name from Hurons to eagles they missed an opportunity to go with Emu instead.

Starting to get into the flow of the game now. Like that Frank switched to zone.

Clerc is cool, yes. He's really settling in nicely. Luka is still struggling but give him time.

Did Bettiol travel back to Italy over Christmas break? He seems to be jet lagged.

Tonight so far: 2 points and 1 rebound in 8 minutes, 3 fouls and a -10.

Frank has gotta be tearing into him during timeouts.

Agreed! I think a couple of the calls were soft, but he’s got to be better at defending without fouling. And then he was a liability on the floor for a couple possessions where EMU scored so back to the pine he goes.

I think he's must be running a fever tonight because he can't even stay on the floor.

He's now on the bench doing a stretch on his left leg, with a big rubber band. After he checked out the last time, he went over to get some help from Trainer Dave.

The crowd needs to get on this Patterson when EMU visits Mullins 1/31
