Marcus Keene looks perfectly comfortable in a Central Michigan basketball uniform.
The junior guard transferred from Youngstown State after liking what he saw when the Penguins faced CMU in 2014. After sitting out last season, he finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds Friday and showed a flair for the moment in Central Michigan’s 117-53 season-opening victory against Indiana University Kokomo at McGuirk Arena.
Holding the ball behind the 3-point line as the final seconds of the first half ticked off, Keene waved off a screen, stepped back and hit the shot. And smiled.
“I think what we saw out of Marcus is what we see every day in practice,” CMU Coach Keno Davis said.
