Junior Guard Marcus Keene fights through the Western Michigan defense, Feb. 3rd in McGuirk Arena
Coming into this rivalry season finale, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team had lost six straight games, while Western Michigan had won seven in a row.
Both teams came ready for a victory to close the regular season, but it was the Broncos who pulled away at the end.
WMU topped the Chippewas by a final score of 88-80.
Senior guard Braylon Rayson and junior guard Marcus Keene led CMU with a combined 63 points on 20-for-43 shooting.
Rayson said he was aggravated by a play early in the game, which got him going on his five-straight 3-pointer streak in the first half.
