THE MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO LAST NIGHT SIXTY-SEVEN TO FORTY-EIGHT. THE CHIPS PLAYED A STELLAR DEFENSIVE GAME, EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES OFFENSE ALL NIGHT LONG BY HOLDING U-I-C TO TWENTY-SEVEN PERCENT SHOOTING FROM THE FLOOR.
UNLIKE THE FLAMES, SENIOR POINT GUARD ROBBIE HARMON WAS ON FIRE, AS HE MADE SIX THREE POINTS SHOTS LAST NIGHT AND LED CMU WITH 20 POINTS.
CHRIS KELLERMAN CAME OFF THE BENCH FOR THE CHIPS AND PULLED DOWN TWELVE BOARDS AS WELL AS SCORING EIGHT POINTS.
THE CHIPPEWAS JUST PLAIN OUT MANNED THE CARDINALS LAST NIGHT IN A 35 TO 3 ROUT IN MUNCIE.
DAN LEFEVOUR DASHED ANY HOPES OF A BALL STATE UPSET, AS HE WAS EFFICIENT LAST NIGHT COMPLETING ALL BUT THREE PASSES FOR THREE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR YARDS AND FOUR T-D PASSES.
ANTONIO BROWN WAS NUMBER THIRTEENS MAIN TARGET LAST NIGHT, AS HE CAUGHT ELEVEN BALLS, INCLUDING A EIGHTY TWO YARD PASS PLAY FROM LEFEVOUR THAT WAS MADE BY LEFEVOUR EXTENDING THE PLAY WITH HIS FEET.
UPON BROWN CATCHING THE BALL, HE GOT A GREAT BLOCK FROM FRESHMAN WIDEOUT CODY WILSON THAT SPRUNG BROWN TO THE END ZONE WITH SECONDS TO GO IN THE HALF. THE PLAY PUT BALL STATE AWAY FOR GOOD AS THE CHIPS WENT UP 21 TO 3 AT THAT POINT.
THE CHIPPEWAS TRAVEL TO MUNCIE INDIANA TOMORROW TO TAKE ON THE STRUGGLING BALL STATE CARDINALS, WHO STAND AT ONE AND NINE ON THE SEASON.
HOWEVER, DON’T COUNT OUT THE CARDINALS JUST YET. BALL STATE GAVE NORTHERN ILLINOIS ALL THEY COULD HANDLE LAST WEEK, AS THE HUSKIES HELD ON FOR A TWENTY SIX TO TWENTY WIN.
REVENGE WILL BE ON CMU’S MIND ON TOMORROW NIGHT. LAST YEAR, BALL STATE CAME INTO KELLY SHORTS STADIUM UNDEFEATED AND RANKED FOURTEENTH IN THE NATION, AND BALL STATE LEFT MOUNT PLEASANT WITH A SLIM 31 TO 24 W.
DUE TO MUNCIE IS ABOUT A 4 TO 4 AND A HALF HOUR DRIVE FROM MOUNT PLEASANT, YOU CAN STAY RIGHT IN TOWN AND WATCH THE GAME ON ESPN 2 TOMORROW NIGHT, WHICH STARTS AT 8 P.M.

BACK IN 2007, THE NUMBER 6 RANKED CHIPS BEAT THE ELEVENTH RANKED ROCKETS THREE GAMES TO TWO.
TONIGHT, AT 7 O’CLOCK, GO ON DOWN TO ROSE ARENA AND SUPPORT THE CMU CHIPPEWA VOLLEYBALL TEAM. TICKETS ARE 5 DOLLARS A PIECE FOR THE PUBLIC- STUDENTS CAN GET TICKETS FOR TWO DOLLARS A PIECE AT THE DOOR.
LAST NIGHT, THE CMU MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM LOOKED TO REBOUND FROM SATURDAY’S SEASON OPENING LOSS TO PRINCETON AGAINST THE DOWN THE ROAD DIVISION TWO OPPONENT FERRIS STATE. THE CHIPPEWAS GOT A STRONG EFFORT FROM SENIOR POINT GUARD ROBBIE HARMON, AS HE LED THE CHIPS IN SCORING LAST NIGHT WITH 18 POINTS, AS CMU TOOK CARE OF A SCRAPPY FERRIS STATE TEAM 82 TO 69 TO EARN THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE REGULAR SEASON.
JUNIOR JALIN THOMAS EARNED HIMSELF A DOUBLE-DOUBLE LAST NIGHT, AS HE PULLED DOWN TWELVE REBOUNDS TO GO WITH HIS TEN POINTS.
THE WIN EVENS CENTRALS RECORD TO ONE AND ONE ON THE YOUNG SEASON, AND THEY ARE IN ACTION AGAIN AT HOME TOMORROW NIGHT AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS-CHICAGO. THAT GAME WILL GET STARTED AT SEVEN O’CLOCK.
