Chimps are up 14-11 early. Game is on channelsurfing if anybody has no life tonight. Terrible audio.

I know it goes against everything I stand for but we could use a CMU win here tonight to keep NIU from getting out to too much of a lead in the West.

CMU up 33-31 at halftime.

Tight game. A 61-60 CMU lead with 6 minutes left.

Back and forth. 67-65 NIU with 3:53 left. NIU is just running one on one with Anderson and Silas and burning CMU consistently. The difference so far is that NIU is shooting 80% from the line.

Tied up now.

Suddenly CMU has figured out how to make free throws. 74-70 CMU with 1:48 left.

CMU has the ugliest cheerleaders I have ever seen for a college team.
Good game.

Either Boise State or TCU had some really ugly cheerleaders I saw at their bowl game.

Bitzer fouls out but Harmon hits a big shot after a CMU block and CMU leads 76-71 with 0:40 left.

I know it is probably better for the West race for CMU to win, but I just cannot be happy when CMU wins. I tried, but as soon as I started watching I immediately began rooting for NIU. Instantly.
I just hate seeing CMU win - I can't help myself.

I know what you mean. I'm not necessarily happy but I do thank them for keeping the race tight. Broncos got some help today. Now they need to gather themselves for the brutal stretch through the east - I didn't realize until Couch mentioned it. The guys will play 5 games in 11 days against the east. I think they did that to all the teams. Stupid scheduling.

Final - CMU 81, NIU 75

MAC home teams today 6, visitors 0.

Amazing. First place, and they start a walk-on.
