MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan can get out and run and shoot the ball with the best of ‘em.
When it comes to the post, few can match Akron and Isaiah Johnson.
Johnson, a 6-foot-10, 290-pound senior, scored a career-high 33 points Tuesday in leading the Zips to an 89-85 victory over CMU in a Mid-American Conference men’s basketball game at McGuirk Arena.
“Nobody else in the league has Isaiah Johnson – their other players are really talented too – but when you have a guy that you can center your entire offense around and go to on almost every possession, we didn’t have the answer for that,” CMU coach Keno Davis said.
