It's been a tough year to say the least for the fighting Eagles from Ypsilanti. Before the season began, starting point guard Carlos Medlock went down with a season-ending injury, making it 2 years in a row Eastern has lost a starter for the year. With Medlock, Eastern was expected to contend for the West Division title, so Coach Charles Ramsay loaded up the non-conference schedule with Purdue, Georgia, St. John's, Michigan, and Illinois among others. Left without Medlock, the Eagles have been forced to rotate senior Tyler Jones and freshman L.J. Frazier, both significant downgrades from Medlock. The results have not been good, especially considering the Eagles notched their first win against a D-1 opponent just a couple of weeks ago, beating Central in double overtime. Now, the Eagles are without Solomon Farris, their 3rd leading scorer, who has been suspended for the rest of the year. No senior leadership plus no confidence has translated into a tough year for Eastern Michigan.
