Bowling Green went just 3-5 over their first eight games, beating Air Force, Oakland and Morgan State in that time. The Falcons are 3-2 since then with wins over Hampton, Fairmont State and OH Dominican.

Matched up against South Carolina on Friday, Eastern Michigan was down by 10 points at halftime. The Eagles kept the pace from there but still lost 74-64. Emoni Bates led the team on 36 points with six rebounds. 

PICK: I’ll probably go with Bowling Green here. Probably also staying away. There’s not a lot to get excited about here. That said, Bowling Green has managed 66 or more points in seven straight outings so they should score pretty well in this one; it’ll be a good game. The Falcons haven’t exactly faced major competition over their last pair, however they should match up well in this one. As for EMU, they’ve got some pretty nice scoring outings over their last six games so it wouldn’t be surprising to see a high total on Tuesday.
