Central Michigan completes Lone Star Showcase with loss to Arkansas-Little Rock

AUSTIN, Texas — Central Michigan men’s basketball coach Keno Davis wasn’t necessarily satisfied with his team’s 1-2 finish in the Lone Star Showcase.

But as is typical of the fifth-year CMU coach, he took a long-term view of his team after it closed the event with a 91-79 loss to Little Rock on Wednesday night at H-E-B Center.

“When a team can be physical on the perimeter and inside, when they can make shots going to the basket, from mid-range, and the 3-point shot, that’s how you get in the NCAA (Tournament) and we saw two of them on this trip,” Davis said after the loss, which came on the heals of a 102-71 defeat on Tuesday to St.
