Year six of the Ernie Zeigler era gets underway for Central Michigan University basketball this Friday, Oct. 14, when the Chippewas hold their first official practice of the season at 7 p.m. “I think the players have been chomping at the bit to get going,” Zeigler said. “Our individual workouts this fall progressed well with a lot of teaching on both sides of the ball. You’ll see a big change with us defensively this year in both schemes and language. “Now that we can get into a regular practice routine, we will be able to focus on our new defense and the different variables in a 4-on-4 or 5-on-5 setting.” CMU returns seven letterwinners, including two starters, from last year’s squad that finished 10-21 overall and 7-9 in the Mid-American Conference. “The most impressive thing about this team so far as been the chemistry,” Zeigler said. “All 16 of the players are working together, pushing each other and doing their best to get better every day. They are spending time together off the court. It has been refreshing.”
