Junior Guard Marcus Keene fights through the Western Michigan defense, Feb. 3rd in McGuirk Arena

After starting 0-3 in conference play, a third-straight Mid-American Conference West Division title appeared unlikely for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

In the preseason poll, the Chippewas were predicted to finish in last place in the division and looked deserving of that ranking.

Junior Marcus Keene once again put on a show scoring 41 points on 15-of-25 shooting and 9-of-18 on 3-pointers as the Central Michigan men's basketball team topped Ohio, 97-87 Tuesday night.
