In the second-to-last game of the season, the Central Michigan men’s basketball earned a statement 24-point win over Mid-American Conference opponent Ball State to keep its home-court playoff hopes alive.
The Chippewas (17-13, 6-11 MAC) defeated the Cardinals (19-11, 10-7 MAC), 75-51, on Feb. 27 at McGurik Arena.
“We aren’t a finished product,” said CMU head coach Keno Davis. “It gets tiring to talk about how much you’ve improved when you don’t see it on the scoreboard. We were able to find a way to win tonight.”
CMU was led by sophomore guard Kevin McKay, who poured in 23 points and seven rebounds in the winning effort.
