Eastern Michigan won their tuneup while their opponent in this one, the Oakland Grizzlies, suffered a defeat in their opener. I think the huge advantage on this Eastern Michigan will be their imposing size inside, where games are typically won or lost. Mike Samuels (6-foot-11, 285 pounds), Jerome Hunter (6-foot-9, 250 pounds), and Olalekan Ajayi (6-foot-11, 245 pounds) are imposing for any team. Oakland got 39 of their points last game from Petros and McKune inside, but are not going to get easy looks here, and I think in the end it will be the telling story in this one. the Golden Grizzlies last six vs. a team over .600 have them at 0-6 ATS, and Eagles have dominated the Horizon at 8-1 ATS in their last nine. Eastern Michigan in this one.
