On a night where sloppy offense and turnovers plagued the the Central Michigan men’s basketball team, they made enough big shots to pull away with a victory.

The Chippewas defeated Jackson State University (2-6) by a final score of 70-63, giving them a fifth straight win and a 6-1 overall record.

Head coach Keno Davis said coming in they knew the Tigers would give them a fight, but said it speaks a lot about to how CMU beat them in nearly every statistical category.
