YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team dropped its Mid-American Conference home opener in heartbreaking fashion, falling 75-71 in overtime to Bowling Green State University Saturday, Jan. 6, inside the Convocation Center.
The Eagles (9-6, 0-2 MAC) erased a late four-point deficit to force the extra session and had the ball and an opportunity to win the game on the final possession of regulation. Eastern fell victim to a shot clock violation, however, and the Falcons (10-5, 1-1 MAC) rode the momentum in the extra session, as EMU fell for the first time this season inside the Convocation Center.
