CMU managed to come away with a victory over UNLV on Saturday afternoon after a shaky start in front of hundreds of over 19,500 fans and one Andre Drummond of NBA fame.
The crowd was definitely a factor in the second half, as the simultaneous promotions of High School Band Day and CMU & You Day converged to create a raucous atmosphere.
The Chippewas are off to their first 3-0 start since 2002. In that season, the Chips finished 4-8. Coach John Bonamego will be looking to finish a little bit better than that moving on into the rest of the season.
