Chippewas can clinch MAC West title share with a win
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Four Mid-American Conference games to play, and the Central Michigan women's basketball team is right where everybody thought it would be.
The Chippewas play their next two games on the road – the first is Wednesday (7 p.m.) at Ball State – before playing their final two regular-season contests at home in McGuirk Arena.
WHERE THEY STAND
The Chippewas are 20-6, 11-3 MAC and in first place in the West Division. If they win on Wednesday, they clinch at least a tie for the division title, their fourth straight. They hold a three-game lead on Toledo and Northern Illinois, both of whom are 8-6 in league play.
CMU trails Miami (Ohio) by one game for the best record in the MAC. The RedHawks are 12-2 and are scheduled to play at Kent State on Wednesday.
Miami holds the tie-breaker over the Chippewas, head-to-head result, having beating CMU in their only regular-season meeting, 70-67, six weeks ago. The overall regular-season champion earns the No. 1 seed for the MAC Tournament.
The Chippewas are ranked seventh in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25. Ohio is ranked 10th, Miami is 15th and Toledo, Kent State and Northern Illinois are receiving votes in the poll.
The Chippewas received two votes in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll.
SCOUTING
Ball State is 7-19, 2-12, and has lost eight consecutive games. CMU won the first meeting, 81-63, on Feb. 6.
Oshlynn Brown leads the Cardinals in scoring (13.5 points per game) and rebounding (9.1). She ranks third in the MAC in rebounds per game.
20-GAME WINNERS
In downing NIU on Saturday, the Chippewas equaled the 20-win mark for the fourth consecutive season, and for the eighth time in coach Sue Guevara's 12 years in charge of the program. CMU is 57-11 in MAC games since the start of the 2015-16 season, the freshman year for seniors Reyna Frost and Presley Hudson.
FROST FLYING
CMU senior Reyna Frost was named the MAC West Player of the Week for the fifth consecutive time on Tuesday, and the ninth time this season, for her performance in leading CMU to a pair of wins last week.
Frost averaged 30 points and 16.5 rebounds in leading CMU to wins over Bowling Green and Northern Illinois. Against the Huskies, Frost poured in a career-high 39 points, the third-highest point total in program history. She raised her career total to 1,612, becoming the fifth player in program history to score at least 1,600 points. She made a career-high six 3-pointers in the game.
Frost is fifth on the career scoring list. Frost's former teammate, All-American Tinara Moore is fifth on the list. Moore, the 2018 MAC Player of the Year, scored 1,676 points from 2014-18.
ON THE NATIONAL RADAR
Frost ranks third in the nation with 23 double-doubles this season, the last nine consecutively, and she has 56 in her career. She is fifth in career double-doubles among active players in NCAA Division I.
Frost ranks second in the nation in rebounds per game (13.4) and fourth in total rebounds (349). She is fifth in the nation and first in the MAC in field goal made (226) and second in the MAC in field-goal percentage (.551).
Frost overtook Hudson, her teammate, for second place in scoring in the MAC. She is averaging 21.2 points per game, while Hudson is averaging 20.9 and ranks third in the league. Frost is 14th and Hudson is 15th nationally in scoring.
