The lead was in favor of the home team for more than 37 minutes as the Central Michigan men's basketball team coasted to a 95-86 victory over Southern Utah.
The win moved CMU (8-2) to their fifth win in the last six games. CMU is still undefeated at McGuirk Arena with a 4-0 record.
"Having seen Southern Utah out there they are a much better team even though they beat us last year," said head coach Keno Davis. "They are a much improved physical team that is going to win some games this year. We knew when watching tape we would have our hands full but I like the way we responded.
