The Central Michigan women's basketball team hasn't done much wrong since the beginning of Mid-American Conference play.

On Saturday, Buffalo gave CMU its first conference loss — snapping a six-game MAC win streak.

In most scenarios, you would imagine a 6-1 conference record being good enough to be the top of your division.

Not for the MAC West Division.

CMU played its best basketball of the season during that win streak, yet the Chippewas find themselves in a three-way tie with Northern Illinois and Ball State for first place in their division.

Not to mention Western Michigan isn't far behind them at 5-2 for fourth place.
