CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — The Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt Conference have revealed the second set of matchups for the 2024-25 MAC/SBC Challenge, with the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team scheduled to compete against Georgia State University on Saturday, Feb. 8, at a time yet to be announced. The MAC/SBC Challenge commenced on Nov. 4, featuring the women of the MAC hosting their SBC counterparts, and this time the SBC will host the MAC. The first round of games saw the MAC secure victory in 8 out of 12 competitions, leading 8-4.
EMU (1-13, 0-4 MAC) and GSU (7-9, 1-4 SBC) will face off for only the second occasion in the series’ history. The Eagles achieved a 69-59 triumph over the Panthers on Nov. 12, 2016, at the Morehead State University’s Donna Murphy Classic in Morehead, Ky., marking the inaugural meeting between the two institutions.
The Eagles hold a 1-2 record in the MAC/SBC Challenge after losing 75-71 to visiting Texas State University on Nov. 4, which was the season opener for both teams. Eastern finished with a 1-1 record in last year’s inaugural event, beginning with a 62-58 defeat against Georgia Southern University on Nov. 11, 2023, followed by a 81-69 victory at home against the University of South Alabama on Feb. 10, 2024.
Up next for the Eagles is a home MAC matchup against the University at Buffalo on Wednesday, Jan. 15, within the George Gervin GameAbove Center in Ypsilanti. The game is set for a 6:30 p.m. start and will be broadcast live on ESPN+. Fans can also tune in live on WEMU (89.1 FM) and The Varsity Network with Tom Helmer calling the action.
