YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Oh, how sweet it is, and still is even 30 years later. During the 1990-91 season, the Eastern Michigan University men's basketball program made history with a trip to the "Sweet 16" of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament for the first time in program history.
Commanded by legendary Head Coach Ben Braun, the Green and White finished with an impressive 26-7 overall record and a 13-3 Mid-American Conference mark. Eastern capped off the legendary season with a regular-season championship and the MAC Tournament title.
Three decades later, the 1990-91 team is still considered one of the best in program history and their stats support that notion.
