Keene to rule the MAC: Junior guard sets CMU single-season record, but his focus is on a conference championship

Junior guard Marcus Keene shoots the ball during the game against Buffalo on Feb. 14 in McGuirk Arena.

At the beginning of the season, Keno Davis doubted Marcus Keene's ability to keep up his scoring dominance.

Now, Keene is making history as Central Michigan men's basketball's all-time single-season leading scorer.

After scoring 27 points against Buffalo on Tuesday, Keene surpassed Dan Majerle, who scored 759 points during the 1987-88 season. Keene now sits at 775, the most points scored in a single-season by a junior in Mid-American Conference history.

With five games remaining in the regular season, Keene needs 99 points to become the MAC's all-time single-season scoring leader, set by Ohio's Dave Jamerson during the 1989-90 season.
