Women's basketball folds in final minute, bounced from MAC Tournament by Western Michigan

Central Michigan women's basketball coach Sue Guevara expresses her frustration in a game against Duquesne at McGuirk Arena, on the campus of Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Thursday, December 3, 2015. Duquesne defeated Central Michigan, 66-49.

It was Deja vu for the Central Michigan women's basketball team Wednesday – and not in a good way.

The Chippewas led Western Michigan 63-62 with 21 seconds left, but two turnovers and a WMU 3-pointer with 11 seconds to play gave the Broncos a 67-63 win, knocking CMU out of the Mid-American Conference Tournament in the quarterfinals.

Last season the Chippewas were defeated by Buffalo 73-71 in overtime after Stephanie Reid hit a jumpshot at the buzzer to win the MAC Tournament title.
