What to Know

The Eastern Michigan Eagles and the Western Michigan Broncos are set to square off in a Mid-American matchup at 7 p.m. ET March 1 at George Gervin GameAbove Center. WMU should still be feeling good after a victory, while the Eagles will be looking to regain their footing.

The contest between EMU and the Ball State Cardinals this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with EMU falling 75-64 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, WMU strolled past the Bowling Green Falcons with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the game 78-67. It took 14 tries, but WMU can finally say that they have a win on the road.

EMU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past four games.

The Eagles are now 10-19 while the Broncos sit at 7-22. WMU is 2-4 after wins this year, and EMU is 8-10 after losses.
