Following an 11-2 nonconference record and Great Alaska Shootout championship, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team leads the Mid-American Conference in wins so far this season.

The Chippewas will face off against Ohio (7-5) at 7 p.m. on Jan. 2 at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas are currently undefeated at home.

“It’s a new season, everyone’s 0-0 in the conference,” CMU sophomore guard David DiLeo said, regarding the start of conference play.

Led by senior forward Cecil Williams, CMU will attempt to start its conference schedule with a win despite being predicted to finish last in the MAC West Division.
