Freshman guard Presley Hudson celebrates her game-winning basket after the game against Bowling Green at McGuirk Arena, Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016.
Eight straight wins (and counting) since Jan. 20 isn’t bad for a team picked to finish fifth in the Mid-American Conference West Division.
CMU has won 13 of its last 16 games, remaining perfect at McGuirk Arena since its 64-61 loss to Memphis Dec. 15.
What’s even more impressive is how this team, which starts two freshmen and two sophomores, wins games it is not supposed to win.
Jan. 27: Three games into its winning streak, CMU trailed Western Michigan (15-10, 7-6 MAC) 51-50 at the 2:30 mark in the fourth quarter.
