Big time game at Reese Court today, as the Eagles look to get some revenge agaisnt UC Irvine. I want to start some discussion on this game/during the game.
Keys
1. Shoot better from 3 than UC Irvine. Last game agaisnt Irvine, EWU was only 4-21 from three.. While UC Irvine shot 11-19. With their Big 7'6 player in the paint, it will be difficult for the Eagles to get much going down there. They must take and make the three ball today.
2. Going along with Key #1.. they must get Mamadou Ndiaye in foul trouble. He really hurt Eastern last time they matched up. 10blocks in only 19 minutes! They must attack him to get some early fouls, or it will be very tough for Eastern to get many easy buckets.

Notes
-Last time they played, Eastern had played 2 games the days before. Jim Hayford likes to play his starters big minutes, so I'm guessing they ran out of gas a little bit.
-In the second half, Irvine scored 38, while Eastern scored 36. They can play with this team.

Let me know what you all think. Go Eagles! :thumb:
 
Eastern leads by 2 at half! 11-2 run to end. Eagles are forcing turnovers, taking charges, and attacking the zone well! If the threes keep falling, this will be a EWU W!
