In the biggest rivalry game of the season, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team came up short in overtime.
The Chippewas (16-12, 5-10 Mid-American Conference) fell to Western Michigan (16-12, 8-7 MAC), 83-81, on Feb. 20 at University Arena in Kalamazoo.
“We work so hard and we have such great young men on this team,” said CMU head coach Keno Davis. “We are in every game. Western Michigan circles this game and talks about it all year."
CMU jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but the Broncos responded with a 17-2 run, giving the home squad a 17-7 lead.
