Men's basketball hosts MAC Tournament game, can advance to Cleveland

Riding a two-game winning streak into the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team can book their trip to Cleveland with a win.

The No. 8-seeded Chippewas (18-13, 7-11 MAC) will host No. 9 Bowling Green (16-15, 7-11) at 7 p.m. on March 5 in McGuirk Arena.

This is the first time a MAC Tournament game has been hosted at McGuirk Arena. CMU is 6-7 in first round games and 15-23 overall in the MAC Tournament all-time.

CMU is coming off a 84-71 win against rival Western Michigan at Riepma Arena, which was rescheduled due to the shooting at Campbell Hall on CMU's campus March 2.
