CMU couldn't ever get over the hump against William & Mary while NIU and Ball State had a little trouble with their opponents Tuesday night.
William & Mary 88 Central Michigan 84
Braylon Rayson had a chance to help CMU tie the William & Mary Tribe with five seconds left in the Chiipewas's road loss on Tuesday night, but the 3-pointer didn't connect.
The game went back and forth for most of the night until the Tribe hit a couple unmatched buckets and free throws in the game's last few minutes to go up 80-71 with 1:03 left.
