Men's basketball opens a two game road trip against Ball State

After playing over half of the season with a perfect home record, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team suffered its first loss of the season at McGuirk Arena to Toledo on Jan. 13.

The Chippewas have struggled recently, losing the last three games of Mid-American Conference play.

Toledo was the third consecutive game the Chippewas (12-5, 1-3 Mid-American Conference) have allowed more than 75 points (79 being the lowest against Eastern Michigan) which is well above their season average of 68.1 points allowed per game, the top mark in the MAC.

Sophomore guard Kevin McKay said he and his teammates failed to guard the Rockets shooters, which went 14-of-32 from 3-point distance while pouring in 93 points.
