BOZEMAN, Mont. — Marcus Keene scored a career-high 44 points Wednesday as the Central Michigan men’s basketball team held off Montana State, 106-103, in a nonconference game at the Bobcats’ Worthington Arena.
Keene, who entered the game averaging an NCAA Division I-best 30.8 points per game, hit 13 of his 27 field goal attempts and was 13-for-17 from the free throw line. The Chippewas (9-3) finished 29-for-37 from the charity stripe.
“Obviously Marcus is going to get a lot of the headlines with the 44 points, but we had some guys come up with some big plays,” CMU coach Keno Davis said.
