SPOKANE, Washington — Cassie Breen said players on the Central Michigan women’s basketball team could have potentially played at “bigger schools.”
But the senior guard said those players chose CMU.
“That’s who we’re going to play for, Central Michigan, because it’s across our chests,” Breen said.
CMU (30-4, 17-1 Mid-American Conference) has won the MAC Tournament and its first two NCAA Tournament games to advance to the Sweet 16 against Oregon at 6 p.m. EST March 24 in Spokane Arena. The No. 11 Chippewas, in their 50th annual season, are the lowest remaining seed in the tournament after conference rival Buffalo fell to South Carolina.
