The best performance of the year for Eastern Michigan's basketball team. Played outstanding defense all game, and much improved offense in this game. EMU shot the ball much better, and were able to get 2nd chances. EMU's big guy's like Bryant, Riley and Balkema were able to rebound very well, and get some put-backs.
EMU was much more physical and aggressive in this game, including the guards, Jalen Ross, and Austin Harper who had 10 points. EMU was getting to the basket and taking some very smart shots, and able to score with ease.
This was a step in the right direction for EMU, only having 4 turnovers all game. Just to be in single digit's is quite an accomplishment for EMU, by far the best the Eagles have done in this category all season long.
Glenn Bryant had a monster game, with 17 points, 4 blocks, 1 steal, and went 4 for 4 from the free throw line. Bryant had a monster dunk to help put some intensity in this team. Harrison also with a good game having 9 points, and 5 rebounds to help out.
But EMU has to give Matt Balkema a lot of credit in this game. He was absolutely phenomenal in this game. He was so physical in the paint and was able to get a lot of the put-backs for EMU and a lot of the rebounds. He ended up with a total of 7 points.
As a team EMU scored 65 points, the 2nd most points EMU has scored this year. EMU scored 66 points in the first game of the season. EMU shot 47%, and 28% from 3 point range.
From here EMU will go on to play at Toledo on Saturday.
