The men’s basketball team continued its winning ways with a convincing 84-68 triumph over Eastern Michigan (EMU).

It was a back-and-forth start in this one as the Eagles shot 48% from the field and a blistering 85% from deep. Despite the lights-out shooting, the Dawgs entered the locker room up 41-36 behind 14 points from junior guard Finley Bizjack and 13 points from graduate forward Michael Ajayi.

“They came in, and they were on fire in the first half,” head coach Thad Matta said.
