University of Illinois - Chicago Vs. Eastern Michigan Basketball - Pre-Game

So I took the opportunity to go to the EMU basketball game again tonight.  The Eagles were playing University of Illinois - Chicago.   It was the opening game of the season for the Eagles and I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  Well at any rate, I was hoping for a good game.

Just before the team enters the court, the cheerleaders carry out the E, M and U flags.
