After playing arguably its best game of the season in a 10-point win at Ohio on Feb. 7, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team was tied for first in the Mid-American Conference West Division and was in a good position with two of its next three games at McGuirk Arena — where it had only lost one time all season.
The Chippewas, however, lost on the road to a faltering Miami (Oh.) squad on Feb. 11 and failed to complete a double-digit comeback to Buffalo last Tuesday.
