Eastern Michigan men's basketball team has a 1pm date (and what an UGLY date it is) with Ball State in Muncie, Indiana today as EMU looks to go three up and one down in MAC West play. EMU was led by Jarred Axon with 23 hitting SEVEN threeballs in Wednesday nights win at Northern Illinois. EMU also had three others in double figures.
Ball State? Well they are 2-13 and their program is embroiled in a whopper of a mess. They fired their coach of last season, Ronny Thompson (son of former Georgetown legendary coach John Thompson) over a possible rules violations and Thompson was beat up pretty good and fired. It was later found out Thompson had not lied during an internal investigation last May as was alleged.
On a sidenote, what jackassery by Ball State spokesman Tony Proudfoot when asked if the school had reached some kind of settlement with Thompson. Proudfoot would not directly admit one existed telling reporters they were free to file Freedom of Information Act briefs to find out. What a tool. They'll be coming back to you in a week with documents in hand and what will your weasley excuse not to talk about it be then, Tony?
So, 1PM in Muncie, 1PM here in Cool City

Halftime score in Muncie

And Ball State is this close after shooting 50% from the floor in the first half. NO WAY they can match that in the second. EMU won't let 'em

How not t take great advantage of a situation. Ball State just hustled a little more, worked the ball inside a little better and when EMU had a chance to tie it late they never got a shot off. It's really too bad, Tuesday night at the ACC vs Toledo could have been SUCH FUN because if EMU had won today they'd have been in first.
