Da’Sean Nelson is making his final year of eligibility his best. After making a name for himself at DePaul the last two seasons, the Toledo Rogers grad is tearing it up for the Eagles of Eastern Michigan.
Nelson and the Eagles had a sluggish start to the season before finding their footing. They started the season 1-2 with subpar shooting percentages. Since then they have turned the corner to go 3-1 in their last four games, the only loss coming in overtime. Nelson went from shooting less than 30% from the field to now consistently over 55%. He also only scored a combined 14 points in the first three games, he has scored 15 points or more in each game since.
Nelson is third on the team in field goals made, rebounds, assists and blocks. He is also second on the team in free throws made.
The Eagles have four non-conference games left before taking a run at the MAC title. All of their games are streaming on ESPN+.
