Eastern Michigan Vs. University of Massachusetts Basketball

So I went to the Eastern Michigan Basketball game tonight.  They were playing the 21st Ranked University of Masschusetts Minutemen.  This is the first time Eastern has played a ranked team at the Convocation Center since 1994.  Based on what I saw of the game they played against Kentucky last week, they look like they are close to being up to the challenge.

 Caught a few shots during the practice.  Glenn Bryant taking a dunk.  I just missed a shot of someone hanging on the rim.

 Olalekan Ajayi going for the basket.  I tried to slow the shutter speed way down and panned.  I kind of like the abstract effect.

 I would have liked this a little more had I got the basketball in the pciture.

 Mike Talley going for the basket.

 Swoop!

 Raven Lee heading for the basket.

 Daylen Harrison getting mugged.

Another shot of Talley.

Eastern actually led by 4 at the half but UMass proved too much for them in the second half as they fell 69-57.  I think they are actually pretty close to being a power.   They will definitely compete for the MAC.
