MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The end of an era and the passing of the torch.
These realities hit home Wednesday as the Central Michigan men’s basketball team fell to UT Martin, 76-73, in the opening round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament at McGuirk Arena.
Central Michigan finishes the season 17-16 and claimed a second-straight Mid-American Conference West Division title.
With the loss, the Chippewas not only saw the curtains close their 2015-16 season, but also said farewell to a group of seniors that helped change the culture around CMU basketball.
