The Eastern Michigan Eagles are a streaky team, and when they are hitting their shots they have a chance to beat anybody in the MAC. They have certainly been hot here lately, winning seven of their last 10 overall, including a win over the Rockets in Toledo just a few days ago. My money is on the Eagles in this MAC Tournament contest.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Eagles swept the season series, and they've won three of the last four meetings outright. The Rockets are slumping, failing to cover the spread in five of their last six overall.

2. Home Cookin' - The Eagles are a stellar 13-3 at home this season, while the Rockets have a losing record away from Toledo. Eastern Michigan couldn't miss the last time they played Toledo at home, hitting 68% from the field, and an inexplicable 68.8% from beyond the arc.

3. X-Factor - Junior guard Raven Lee led all scorers in the Eagles 91-85 home win over the Rockets, and he has totaled 44 points in two games against Toledo this season.

Selection: This is a play on the Eastern Michigan Eagles (10*)
