Central Michigan shot an airball when a slam dunk was most needed.
The Chippewas entered Tuesday night’s home game versus Northern Illinois at McGuirk Arena in desperate need of a positive result, having lost three games in a row including a heartbreaker of an overtime defeat against Ball State three days earlier.
Instead, CMU put together its biggest dud of the season.
In a game where the lead did not change for the duration of 40 minutes, the host Chippewas were drilled 89-66 by the Huskies for their fourth consecutive defeat in front of a crowd of 2,531 that paled in comparison to the jam-packed arena three days earlier.
