Eastern Michigan has been a thorn in Central Michigan’s side for years.
On March 8, 2014 the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team entered its Mid-American Conference regular-season finale in Ypsilanti with a MAC mark of 16-1. All the Chippewas had to do was win the game, against a 6-11 EMU team, and they would have won their first conference regular-season title since the 1984-85 season.
Leading 69-60 with six minutes left in regulation the Chippewas imploded from there on out as EMU tied it at 77-77 with 14 seconds left before reeling off a 22-7 run in overtime to win 99-82.
