YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball team was unable to halt Bowling Green State University's perfect start to Mid-American Conference play in an 80-67 setback Tuesday, Jan. 22, inside the Convocation Center. All five EMU (8-11, 2-4 MAC) starters reached double-digits in the contest, but BGSU (14-5, 6-0 MAC) pulled away late in the first half to secure its 10th consecutive victory.

Senior James Thompson IV (Baton Rouge, La.-Parkview Baptist) paced the Green and White with 16 points and 12 rebounds, matching a career-high with a pair of triples en route to his eighth double-double of the campaign.
