Eastern came into the game knowing it wasn't going to be a very easy will. IL-Chicago came into this game with some good looking wins over Iona, Northwestern and Colorado State. This didn't turn out the way the Eagles would have liked with a 74-48 loss, and a 6-3 record.
Eastern kept the game pretty close in the first half staying within 1 or 2 points most of the time. Going into halftime IL-Chicago led 24-19. But the 2nd half was much different. Chicago got off to a very fast start incraseing their lead to 11 before the Eagles got another basket.
Eastern only shot 33% in this game, and only 10% from behind the arc. Bryant led the team in scoring with 10, he was the only player to reach double didgets. Sims had 9, and Thompson with 8. Again in this game the Eagle had way to many turnovers. 19 turnovers was a big part to this game.
The Eagles move on to play 11-0 Michigan next. It won't get any easier because after the Wolverines stands Oakland, Kentucky, then move into conference play.
