With five games to go in the Mid-American Conference regular season for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team, two are against a familiar foe.

The Chippewas rekindle their rivalry with Western Michigan at 2 p.m. Saturday at University Arena in Kalamazoo.

CMU (14-12, 7-6 MAC) defeated Toledo 77-69 on Tuesday at McGuirk Arena. The victory propelled the Chippewas into a four-way tie for fifth place in the MAC.
