Three days after the fact, a men's basketball game between Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan has reportedly been flagged for suspicious wagering.

According to a Friday evening report from David Purdum of ESPN, the sports betting integrity watchdog Compliance 360 distributed an alert flagging three high-stakes wagers on the Chippewas' first-half spread. Central Michigan outscored the Eagles 39–33 in the first half and won the game 82–63.

A separate Eastern Michigan game had been flagged for suspicious activity back on Dec. 21, according to Purdum. The Eagles won that game 86–82 over Wright State—overturning an 11-point halftime deficit.

"We became aware of the matter on Wednesday and a review is underway," an Eastern Michigan spokesperson told Purdum. "At this time we do not know anything further about what may have precipitated the suspicious activity."

The Eagles are 7-9 this season, and currently sit in eighth place in the MAC with a conference record of 1-3.
