Game 29- Central Michigan

[clarkwgriswold]

The Zips head to Mount Pleasant Tuesday to face the Chippewas.  The Chipps are 9-19 heading into Buffalo today but are 8-4 at home.  

 

CMU's offense is pretty balanced with 4 players averaging between 10 and 12 points.  The Zips beat them at the JAR 82-69 on January 6th.

I know we often talk about the Kent State hangover, but yesterday’s game didn’t strike me as physically and emotionally draining as some in the past. We didn’t start the game with a tip-off scrum for one. I’m sure there will still be a tendency for a let down. Don’t do it Zips!! Handle your business.

CMU has played pretty well at home this year going 5-3 in conference. They are the only team in the Mac to not have a road win this year. They beat Kent and BG at home, this is definitely not automatic, need to keep our heads on straight and focus on the game at hand

If CMU loses today, they would be eliminated from MAC Tournament contention and the game would likely be much easier for us. However, they're currently up 8 with about 4 minutes left.

UMass is losing too, which would create a three-way tie for 7th through 9th. Three teams for the final two spots.
