        Eastern Michigan will be traveling to Syracuse for this monday night match up. Be sure to watch the game on ESPNU at 7PM est. The Eagles come into the game with a 5-1 record, Syracuse is #6 in the nation with a 5-0 record.

       Eastern will have to play some good defense, and be able to rebound the ball very well to beat Syracuse. Coach Murphy is a former coach at Syracuse so he knows how they like to play. Riley and Harrision, EMU need's a big game out of. Both average about 7 rebounds a game. This will be the most physical team EMU has played all year and need to play lights out.

      Ray Lee has really come to life the past few games, he's averageing 6 points a game. Harrsion and Thompson are going to huge for EMU in this one. If Eastern Michigan can score in the paint as much as possible it should be a close game. The Eagles cannot allow Syracuse to get open shot's or drive the ball at the basket. Southerland is a tough player to stop but a quick double team can force him to have a off night for the Orange.

       The Eagles need to keep up with Syracuse big time if they plan on winning. Can't afford to give up any easy baskets. The team that wins will be the one with the most points in the paint, and possibly the least amount of turnovers.
