Just as it was meant to be, the Central Michigan Chippewas and the Western Michigan Broncos proved how great of rivals the two teams are.
With multiple hard fouls and tough defense, CMU took down its rivals 53-51.
This was the first of two meetings between CMU (10-8, 5-2 MAC) and WMU (12-8, 4-4 MAC). They will meet up once more as the Chippewas will travel to Western on Feb. 27.
