Top-seeded CMU women hold off surging EMU in MAC Tournament quarterfinal

CLEVELAND - Forget about the first 29 regular-season games and forget about the fact that they won the Mid-American Conference regular-season title.

All that came before is now nothing more than history and that fact needs to be remembered.

On Wednesday afternoon the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team turned in perhaps its worst game of the season in its MAC Tournament opener versus Eastern Michigan University.

As it was the top-seeded Chippewas turned the ball over at wholesale rates all afternoon, yet somehow had enough moxie to hold off the ninth-seeded Eagles 67-64 from Quicken Loans Arena.
