First off, Michigan, whom Coach John Beilein said was packing for more than one day proved right as rain as Michigan beat down Iowa in the first day of the Big Ten tournament 55-47. The game wasn't THAT close. U-M pretty much owned the day with Manny Harris leading the way with 19 and DeShawn Sims with 14. The Wolverines improved to 10-21 and will play tomorrow against Bucky the Wisconsin Badger at noon.
EMU was not as lucky as they fell to Western Michigan in the second round of the MAC tourney 70-61. EMU came back, way back, from 18 down at one point but in the last ten minutes, Western hit their free throws and did what they needed to do to win a chippy, very intense game between these two longtime rivals. Jesse Bunkley led the Eagles with 15 points. Jarred Axon added 14 and Carlos Medlock had 12. EMU did not lack for effort today, Western was just the better side.
We'll have a complete EMU season hoops wrap-up this weekend looking back over this last season (and we saw some real good things, conference wins improved again from 6 to 8 and EMU was 8-1 at home in the MAC) and ahead to next year.
