Sophomore Luke Meyer shoots the ball while being guarded by Ohio's Antonio Campbell during the game against Ohio at McGuirk Arena, Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016.
Just when the Central Michigan men’s basketball team seemed to have control, Friday, Akron stole the momentum. And vice versa.
A game littered with runs ended in favor of the Zips, as the top team in the Mid-American Conference held off the Chippewas 92-87 at Akron’s Rhodes Arena.
The Chippewas whittled down a 20-point deficit, with sophomore Josh Kozinski missing a 3-pointer with 24 seconds to play that would have brought CMU within two points.
