Braylon Rayson scored 13, on 5-of-20 shooting, and Austin Stewart added 10 points for Central Michigan, which was without injured guard Chris Fowler. 8 seconds left, but all IN could get off was a heave that was well short.

Danny Manning’s Wake Forest program opened the Maui Invitational with an upset 82-78 victory over No. 13 IN on Monday afternoon.
“I thought for the fact that we played less than 24 hours completely differently (Tuesday) was a great sign of the aptitude of our team, the attitude of our team, and the desire of our team”, Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said.
“I think their length is what bothered us”.
IN will play UNLV for fifth place on Wednesday. “And then we got a great stop at the end”. “One pass, one shot, we were turning the ball over, just little things like that”.
“That was excellent. They made an athletic play”. We got away from what we needed to do, and we gave up the dribble too much, and we’re not going to beat anybody with 16 good minutes, especially when you come to Maui.
The Hoosiers (3-1) will play St. John’s, a 92-55 loser to No. 19 Vanderbilt, in the consolation round on Tuesday.
Vanderbilt: The Commodores had 12 players score against St. John’s…. IN had the most fans by far, seemingly taken every spot in the 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center….
As well as Petteway scored, White rebounds better and has wiser shot selection that will make the Huskers more balanced and consistent.
“We knew we were going to be in a battle, and what we’ve got to learn in this young season is we had it happen here and we had it happen in the Wake game, and we did a pretty decent job with it yesterday, but momentum is always up for grabs, all right?” Idaho State trailed by as many as 15 in the second half but clawed back to 75-69 with 1:10 left after Gary Chivichyan and Ali Faruq-Bey hit back-to-back 3’s. Four times the Red Storm got within seven points, and three of those times Ferrell replied. “Forty-two free throws to 14”.
“To go 23 for 24 at the line, that will win you a lot of basketball games”, Steve Alford said.
Mike Carter credits the Rice brothers, both UNLV’s Dave and Bishop Gorman’s Grant, for their coaching during Ben Carter’s career, but the 17-year professional player overseas also makes it clear that everything started with father coaching son on the Las Vegas Lakers grasketball team. I was just pleased with the way that we approached the game and the way we played.
The Duke Blue Devils (6-5) and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (3-8) close out the regular season this Saturday in Winston-Salem. Bryant is one of only two IN players who started both games of the tournament, as Troy Williams, James Blackmon Jr. and Max Bielfeldt were moved to the bench following the loss to the Demon Deacons.
Prized freshman Thomas Bryant has been solid on the offensive end, but he’s not rebounding at almost a high enough rate for a big man and his perimeter defense is a major liability due to his lack of foot speed. “It was so special to be able to have him and my brother out here to support me during this trip”.

Crawford finished with 13 points, but was 5-for-16 from the field and had eight turnovers with just one assist.
