Star Wars fever is about to hit McGuirk Arena.
With the premiere of ‘The Force Awakens’ less than a week away, Central Michigan men’s basketball will be hosting Star Wars Night on Saturday as the Chippewas host Texas Southern at 4:30 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to dress in their favorite Star Wars get-ups as they pack the stands to watch CMU (4-4) host the well-traveled Tigers (1-7), who will not play their first home game until Jan. 2.
Central Michigan head coach Keno Davis says it was the idea of the Chippewas’ marketing department for the Star Wars galaxy to collide with the basketball spectrum.
