In the eyes of Central Michigan men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis, the apparent rivalry with Western Michigan is actually non-existent.
“There’s no difference in who we played,” Davis said. “If we had beat them, it doesn’t mean any more to our program other than having one more win.”
The Chippewas (16-12, 5-10 Mid-American Conference) made a two-hour trip to Kalamazoo to battle with Western Michigan (16-12, 8-7 MAC) on Feb. 20 at University Arena.
CMU lost in overtime on a last-second miss by sophomore guard Kevin McKay, falling 83-81.
“Had we won or lost the game, in the big scheme of things, that one game isn’t that important,” Davis said.
