A nail biting finish to the EMU vs. Oakland basketball game. Eastern falls to Oakland 59-57 on a last second shot by Oakland's Ryan Bass. Eastern had some struggles in this game but were able to come back late in the 2nd half to tie it.
Going into halftime Eastern was only down 5. Just trying to keep it close going into the 2nd half. But Oakland got off to a fast start, getting a 35-21 lead before EMU scored there first basket of the half.
The Eagles then had to start playin catch up, and did a good job getting it tied at 50. Late in the game JR Sims comes up with a steal and is fouled to make 1 free throw to tie the game once again. Oakland got the ball and let's the clock run to about 3 seconds before they make a game winning shot to make it 59-57.
Eastern played sloppy most of the game and turnovers again haunts this team. Ross led the team in scoring with 17 points, 2 steals and 3 rebounds. Thompson is the 6th man of the game for EMU, with 11 points.
Eastern now on a 3 game losing streak heading in to play Siena Heights, then Kentucky. The Eagles are 6-5 now and are hoping for a good showing once the conference season rolls around.
