MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Central Michigan men’s basketball team has lost four consecutive games.

The first three in that stretch were white-knucklers that could have easily gone in the Chippewas’ favor.

That wasn’t the case on Tuesday at McGuirk Arena.

Levi Bradley scored 18 points to lead five Huskies in double figures as Northern Illinois handed the Chippewas an 89-66 Mid-American Conference loss.

The Chippewas, who were a step slow all night, fell to 16-12, 6-9 MAC. NIU is 15-13, 7-9.

“I just feel like we weren’t ourselves tonight,” said CMU senior guard Braylon Rayson.
