In a league of his own: Keene breaks MAC scoring record

Lost in the shuffle of another double-digit loss was perhaps one of the bigger accomplishments in Central Michigan men’s basketball history.

Two weeks after breaking the CMU program record for points in a single season, Marcus Keene took it a step further Tuesday night.

The junior from San Antonio, Texas scored 21 points against Eastern Michigan to break the Mid-American Conference single-season record, set by Ohio’s Dave Jamerson in 1989 (874).

Keene needed 15 points to break the record and hit a couple free throws mid-way through the second half to achieve the milestone.
