The Eastern Michigan Eagles started the game slow before Elijah Minnie took over. The 6’9 player had to sit out last season after transferring from Robert Morris. After finding themselves down 6-2, Minnie scored all 13 of the Eagles points as they took a 15-11 lead. Jordan Nobles hit a three and Minnie hit a couple more free throws and the game was effectively over. The final score was 92-60.
I generally don’t get too worked up over blowouts of lesser opponents but the addition of Minnie adds another long and lean body to the already formidable Tim Bond and James Thompson IV.
