points to set a new tournament single-game scoring record and lift
Cleveland State to a 78-71 victory over IPFW during the second day
of the Dell™ BCA Invitational.

the record of 27 held by Willie Taylor of Virginia Commonwealth
from last season. Also scoring in double figures for the Vikings
were Pape Badiane with 15 and Jermaine Robinson with 12. Andre’
Williams led all players with 12 rebounds, while Tahric Gosley had
three blocked shots in the game.
"I bounced
back from Saturday by playing hard,” said Coles who had just
two points in the opening round game against Florida Atlantic. “We
played solid defense and we knew that we couldn’t hang our
heads (after Saturday) -- we just had to come out and play basketball.”
IPFW was led
by Ric Wyand with 23 points and six rebounds, while Brad Noll chipped
in 13 points and Terry Collins recorded a game-high eight assists.
IPFW will play
Florida Atlantic tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. MSTwhile Cleveland State
