Take that Woodsy Owl, EMU 78-BGSU 68

Back in the day, Bowling Green's mascot looked like a fat owl, not a falcon. Hence Woodsy Owl. EMU bounced Bowling Green right back down US 23, to I-75 and right back to Wood County tonight with a smart 78-68 victory. EMU, who is undermanned for both health reasons and a dismissal from the team, keeps fighting hard and have now won 2 of 3, and both wins were against teams at least two games up on Eastern in the conference standings. Charles Ramsey has his guys working hard through these dog days of February, and that's a sure sign a team is buying into what he has to say. EMU isn't gonna win the MAC or barring a Cinderella run in the MAC Tourney they're not going to the dance. But they ARE going out and representing, which has been missing the last few seasons.

Junior Carlos Medlock was just phenomenal tonight, 26 points and 5 for 5 from threeball land. He could have hit some from the bench area he was so hot tonight but he didn't want to show off. They also wouldn't have counted since that's out of bounds. In one of the stranger stats lines you'll ever see, Junior Wendale Farrow, according to the ESPN game stats, had ZERO minutes credited, was 0-1 from the field but chipped in with 6 points on 6 for 6 shooting from the free throw line.

EMU is 5-6 in the MAC and 9-14 overall. EMU is home Saturday at the ACC against the CMU Chumpewas. 2pm tipoff
