MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Four nights after surrendering a season-high 98 points at Brigham Young, the Central Michigan basketball team flipped the script.

John Simons scored 18 points and Luke Meyer added 14 points and a career-high 13 rebounds Tuesday as the Chippewas topped Howard, 72-52, at McGuirk Arena.

The win lifted CMU to 6-5. The Chippewas play at William & Mary (6-3) on Dec. 29.

CMU held the Bison (7-6) to a season-low point total, and star guard James Daniel to a season-low 19 points, just two of which came in the second half during which he went 0-for-6 from the floor.
