Willie Mangum IV got his first start on the season, and did not disappoint, averaging over a point a minute. James Thompson IV also managed that feat in this game. And I use the word “game” loosely. EMU dominated an NAIA opponent. It was kind of like practice, but less competitive.
Aside from doubling them on the scoreboard, EMU out rebounded the Saints, 38-33. Where it was really ugly was ball control. Zero steals for the Saints, 17 for the Eagles. Total turnovers, you ask with baited breath? 30 for the Saints, and 5 for the Eagles. It was that bad.
