MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Depth, poise, hot shooting, and some crunch-time defense.
Central Michigan used that combination down the stretch Saturday in wrestling away a 79-71 non-league men’s basketball victory over Texas Southern before 2,492 at McGuirk Arena.
Braylon Rayson hit 6-of-9 3-pointers en route to 22 points, Chris Fowler finished with 20 points, and Luke Meyer added 12 as the Chippewas won their second straight game, improving to 5-4.
“We started off the game with the right focus, the attention to detail, and we got off to a little bit of a lead,” said Fowler, who, in his second game since returning from an injury, also had six assists and finished 7-of-9 from the floor.
