Less than two minutes into the game, Central Michigan sophomore guard Kevin McKay was on one knee in front of the scorers table, ready to check in against Mid-American Conference leader Buffalo.
Even though McKay does not start, he averages the fourth-most minutes on the team, ahead of two starters.
“We really feel like we have six starters on this team,” said CMU head coach Keno Davis. “We don’t want our starters to all get tired at the same time, so it’s nice to be able to sub one out a minute into the game to get the rotation going.
