CMU looks to rebound from Ohio loss
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Central Michigan women's basketball team will look to rebound on Wednesday when it travels to Kalamazoo to battle archrival Western Michigan in a Mid-American Conference game.
The Chippewas dropped a 78-75 decision to Ohio at home on Saturday. The Chippewas are 16-6 overall, 7-3 MAC. They lead the West Division by one game over both Toledo and Northern Illinois, both of whom are 6-4 in league play. Western is 8-12, 2-7.
WHERE THEY STAND
With eight regular-season league games to play, CMU is right in the thick of things in the race for the MAC championship and the No. 1 seed in the league tournament.
East Division-leading Ohio holds the best record in the MAC at 9-2. There are six teams with four league losses or less: Ohio, Miami (Ohio), Buffalo, CMU, Northern Illinois and Toledo.
The Chippewas are ranked eighth in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll. They have plenty of MAC company in the poll: Ohio is sixth, Buffalo is seventh, and Miami is 23rd. Kent State, Toledo and Northern Illinois are also receiving votes.
