A good test, and one the Central Michigan men’s basketball team passed.
Cecil Williams and Shawn Roundtree Jr. scored 17 points apiece on Saturday as the Chippewas emerged victorious, 74-69, from a dogfight with Tennessee Tech before 1,956 at McGuirk Arena.
The win was CMU’s seventh consecutive and it lifted the Chippewas to 8-1.
“That’s a really good Ohio Valley Conference team, a team that’s got a chance to make some noise in their conference,” CMU coach Keno Davis said of the Golden Eagles (7-4). “I think we were fortunate not only to be able to win, but to have a team come in here that exposed some things we need to work on and challenged us and give us that experience going forward as we get closer and closer to the end of the non-conference season.
