The men’s basketball team dropped a back-and-forth match to the Eastern Michigan University Eagles 57-49 Saturday in Ypsilanti. The Huskies struggled with 3-point shooting and committed to many turnovers down the stretch enabling the Eagles to hand NIU its sixth Mid-American Conference loss of the season.
The Huskies defense fought back after allowing the Eagles to make a 9-0 run in the first half, by forcing four straight turnovers to help them take a 27-24 lead at the half.
In the second half EMU was able to create enough stop and converted fast-break points to slow the game down.
