Following in the footsteps of his father Tom Davis who won the Great Alaskan Shootout with Iowa in the 1986-87 season, Keno Davis and the Central Michigan basketball team carved its names into the tournament‘s record books.
The Chippewas (5-1) won three games in four days to win the 40th and final Great Alaskan Shootout by topping Cal State Bakersfield (4-3) 75-72 on Saturday night.
“We gave an extreme effort,” CMU head coach Keno Davis said. “We didn’t always make the right play, but we played extremely hard through three games, which is what you have to do to win a tournament.
