MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- Different year, entirely different look.

Same result.

Kevin McKay came off the bench to score 17 points on Tuesday as the Central Michigan men's basketball team downed Montana State, 75-48, in a nonconference game before 2,092 at McGuirk Arena.

It was CMU's sixth consecutive victory and it lifted the Chippewas to 7-1. They play host to Tennessee Tech on Saturday (1 p.m.).

A year ago, the Chippewas outgunned the Bobcats, 106-103, in Bozeman, Mont.

On Tuesday, CMU jumped to a 7-0 lead and never looked back, building a 37-20 halftime lead.
