On Thursday night, it was a the unofficial beginning of a new era of Eastern Michigan Men’s Basketball, as the Eagles played the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in a charity exhibition. It is a new era with an old twist, as new man Stan Heath last touched ground in green and white at EMU as a backup point guard for the Eagles in 1985.
In his first game as head coach, Heath saw the Eagles win 74-69 over an OU team that was without arguably their top player in Micah Parrish.
Here are some things which stood out from the charity exhibition with ticket proceeds going to the Covenant Academy.
