MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Once again, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team struggled from 3-point range.
But the Chippewas will gladly trade that for the type of defensive performance they put on on Saturday.
CMU held Ohio to a 36.5 percent shooting in stifling the Bobcats, 72-49, in a Mid-American Conference game before 3,333, the largest crowd of the season at McGuirk Arena.
The 49 points was far and away Ohio’s lowest point total of the season, and it was more than 30 below its season average.
The win lifted CMU to 10-9, 3-3 MAC.
