MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The stage isn’t as big and the lights aren’t as bright, but the Central Michigan women’s basketball team is in the postseason with a chance to accomplish great things for the program.
The Chippewas will play host to Indiana-Purdue-Indianapolis in the opening round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament Thursday (7 p.m.) at McGuirk Arena.
After a heartbreaking overtime loss to Buffalo in the Mid-American Conference Tournament championship game on Saturday -- a result that ended CMU’s quest for an NCAA Tournament bid – Chippewa coach Sue Guevara made her team aware that there was still plenty to play for.
