EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY· Office for Alumni Relations • Volume 1, Number 3 Spring Issue 1998 '97-'98 Men's Basl,etball Season One for the Record Bool,s! • A solid core of five returning seniors set the stage as experience combined with skill, providing second year Coach Milton Barnes with the opportunity to make yet another mark on the world of college basketball. The team had its fair share of seasoned veterans, but none were more touted than the duo of Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial. The two pre-season All­ Mid-A.merican Conference (MAC) selections did not disappoint as they played beyond all expectations to prove that they were one of the best backcourt duos in the country. Even without Boykins and Dial, this year's squad was one of experience and skill. Senior forwardJames Head was a super sub last season as he earned All-MAC honorable mention honors after leading the team in steals and notching 11 double­ doubles during his career. Fellow-senior forward was Jon Zajac, who had been with the program just two years after starting his career at the University of Buffalo. Rounding out this senior-led squad was center Nkech.iEzugwu, who averaged 3.7 points and 2.8 rebounds while playing in all 32 games last season. The Eagles finished third in the MAC West Division race and entered the MAC Tournament as the fourth seeded team. Eastern posted a convincing win over Toledo, 98-79, in the quarterfinal round, to advance to the semifinals against the number one seed - Ball State. Eastern won a thriller in overtime, 93- 92, to become the only team in MAC tournament history to make four appearances in a championship game. Eastern prevailed, 92-77, over seventh seeded Miami to earn the '98 MAC Championship and the league's automatic berth into the 64-team fieldof the NCAATo urnament. This championship was EMU's fourth in the past 11 years. The '97-'98 season ended at the NCAA East Regional in Hartford, Conn. The fourth seeded Michigan State Spartans handed the thirteenth seeded Eagles an 83-71 setback in the firstround of the tournament. However, that did not take away from the Eagles' outstanding season. Eastern finished the season with a 20-10 mark and a 13-5 MAC record. '97-'98 Season - A""ards & Highlights .. On Monday, March 9, 1998, the EMU Basketball Program paid tribute to those Here are a select few of the awards earned by Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial who helped contribute to their successes during the year.

  • 2004-05 NBA Season Preview - by MATTHEW HATFIELD Friday, October 29Th, 2004
    2004-05 NBA Season Preview - BY MATTHEW HATFIELD Friday, October 29th, 2004 Eastern Conference: Atlantic Division: 1. New York Knicks - Probably class of a worthless division. I know that sounds harsh, but the Nets are the lone club in this division to play over .500 ball the past two years. The Knicks have to know they must win now because the future looks bleak due to some of the moves made by Isiah Thomas to acquire Stephon Marbury and others. Backcourt has gone from average to exceptional by adding Marbury last season and Jamal Crawford in the offseason. Allan Houston and Penny Hardaway back them up. Frontcourt size still appears missing in my opinion. Somewhere between 40-48 wins. 2. Philadelphia 76ers - Allen Iverson could be due for one of his best seasons ever. New Head Coach Jim O’Brien won with the Celtics and helped them return to the postseason. He brings discipline and emphasis on defense. Samuel Dalembert is the best center in the Atlantic. His rebounding, defense and sparingly scores. Don’t be stunned to see the Sixers use Iverson some at point guard. It will allow them to get rookie Andre Iguodala into the lineup alongside forwards Corliss Williamson and Glenn Robinson. 3. Toronto Raptors - Must shoot the ball better and more consistently, plus get some rebounding from someone other than Chris Bosh. Have three very great talents in Vince Carter, Jalen Rose and Donyell Marshall (all of which want the rock in their hands). Signing fabulous ball handler Rafer Alston helps if Alvin Williams does not play up to par.
