Radio: WKRS 1220-AM, WJOL 1340-AM, WLBK 1360-AM
The skinny: If the Huskies win on Senior Night, they will leap into fourth place in the MAC West division. They’ll have to do it without the nation’s No. 7 scorer in senior guard Xavier Silas (22.3 ppg), who’s out for the second game in a row with an injured left ankle. Silas and classmates Michael Patton and Jeremy “Red” Landers will be feted before the game. EMU had big dreams this year, but they haven’t panned out despite the exploits of senior power forward Brandon Bowdry, who averages 20.0 points and 9.6 rebounds.
