MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – On a night when one of Central Michigan’s all-time greats watched from a court-side seat, Josh Kozinski etched his name into Chippewa lore.
Kozinski hit eight 3-pointers en route to 24 points on Tuesday as the Chippewas downed Northern Illinois, 81-67, in a Mid-American Conference game before 1,820 at McGuirk Arena.
In attendance was CMU great Chris Kaman, who led the Chippewas to the MAC championship and an NCAA Tournament berth in 2003 before going on to a 13-year NBA career.
Kaman, and everybody else, saw Kozinski become the program’s all-time leading 3-point shooter, surpassing Braylon Rayson for the top spot.
