Going into the MAC tournament, can the Chippewas pull off the rivalry victory to prove themselves as one of the top seeds in the conference?
This contest is featuring two teams at completely opposite ends of the spectrum going into the Mid-American Conference tournament in Cleveland. Central Michigan (17-13, 10-7 MAC West) is hoping to add on to their three game winning streak, and earn a top seed in the tournament. Western Michigan (12-18, 6-11 MAC West) is fighting to stay away from the lowest seed in the tournament.
There is no doubt the hype will be with the Chippewas, as they will be celebrating the five seniors on the team, including John Simons, Rayshawn Simmons, and Chris Fowler.
