MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – One possession, one rebound.
On a night that Marcus Keene set Central Michigan’s single-season scoring record, the Chippewas needed a little more.
Willie Conner scored 22 points and CJ Massinburg added 20 as Buffalo fought off a frantic Chippewa rally, handing CMU a 99-93 Mid-American Conference loss on Tuesday at McGuirk Arena.
“Toughness,” CMU junior Josh Kozinski said. “We need to have toughness. We got killed on the boards. Props to Buffalo. The tougher team won tonight. One rebound away.
