Following a 62-59 loss in the first round of the MAC tournament in March, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team return to the court this season without former captains Chris Fowler, John Simons and Rayshawn Simmons.

The Chippewas open their season with an exhibition game against Slippery Rock on Nov. 5 and begin the regular season on Nov. 11 against Indiana University of Kokomo. Both games will be at McGuirk Arena.

"It’s an exciting team to be able to coach,” said head coach Keno Davis.
