They are hot, as in sizzling.
The Central Michigan University men’s basketball team returns to action at home Friday night when it hosts Jackson State at 7 p.m. from McGuirk Arena.
The Chippewas (5-1) have won four-straight games and went 3-0 at the Great Alaska Shootout last week to claim the tournament title.
They beat San Houston State 71-60, Cal Poly 56-53 and Cal-State Bakersfield 75-72 in the last-ever Great Alaska Shootout title game as this annual event will cease going forward.
On paper the Chippewas are getting done via balance as four players are averaging over 11 points per game while three others are averaging six points or more.
