Late night open thread

EMU kicked the bejeesus out of the Toldeo Rockets tonight. We could have led with some headline like 'EMU Short Fuses Rockets' but the TRUTH is they kicked the bejeesus out of them. EMU beat Toledo 68-44 and the game was over apparently when Toldeo left their seeing eye dogs on the bus. EMU led 39-17 at the half and with just under 7 minutes to play the lead grew to 27.

Toledo managed only five points in the game's first 10:07 and went scoreless for 6:11.

Carlos Medlock had 20, Justin Dobbins had 14 and Zane Gay 10. Boy that loss Saturday in uncool Muncie stings. EMU is 3-2 in MAC West play and are at 1-3 Miami (OH), Saturday. EMU's next two games after that will be against top flight MAC competition in Kent State and Akron. If the green and white can win two of the next three, February could be fun.

In Madison tonight Michigan dropped a heartbreaker to the #11 Badgers 64-61. Michigan fought hard, and Manny Harris had a chance to make a play trailing 59-58 with just under a minute left but lost the ball. Manny's play at Michigan (and we're running out of adjectives to describe how well he's played) continues to shine. His game is PULCHRITUDINOUS (you can try to top that word in the comments section but in Scrabble Johnny's word is worth like a billion points and most likely illegal).

Other scores of games that were played tonight that some people went to and a score of the event was kept:

Kentucky 72
#5 Tennessee 66

Western Michigan 72
Central Michigan 52

University of Maryland at Baltimore County 62
Boston University 40

Chicago State 83
Cal State Northridge 75

And our Ypsi City Desk FEATURE SCORE of the night:
Utah Valley State 68
North Carolina Central 52

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark
