Following a blowout loss to No. 7 Houston, the ULM men’s basketball team has shaken off the cobwebs and won against the Chippewas of Central Michigan 74-64.

ULM was able to handle the ball better and reduce how often the opponent scored off of turnovers since its match against Houston. At the same time, the Warhawks made better use of steals to create opportunities to score.
