Cagers active during break

By Bill Kramer Sports Editor

While most of the 14,000-plus Central State University students were on a four-week break from classes, the Broncho basketball team remained busy scattering six games throughout the month.

The Bronchos traveled to Florida for games with ninth-ranked NCAA Division II Florida Southern and the University of Tampa, both undefeated.

CSU at Florida Southern (Dec. 16)

Fatigue may have played a key role in the game because of a 28-hour bus ride which put the Bronchos in Florida at 9 p.m. the night before the game.

CSU faced a difficult task in taking on the Moccasins who came into the game averaging 100 points per game along with a 35-point margin of victory through five games.

The Bronchos trailed by only two at halftime, 43-41 and held their own for the first eight minutes of the second half.

With CSU trailing 60-57 and 11:40 remaining in the game, Southem's Michael Dean scored nine straight points to ignite a 17-5 FSC run, putting the game out of reach for the upset-minded Bronchos.

Chris Pruitt led all Bronchos in scoring with 19 points. The Moccasins held on for an 89-74 triumph.

CSU at the University of

Tampa (Dec. 20)

The Bronchos finished the game with a very low 41 percent field goal percentage and connected on only 10 of 24 free throw opportunities combined with 26 turnovers while Tampa coasted to an 89-74 win in the final game of the two-game stint in Florida.

Shawn Williams led CSU in scoring with 22 points. Pruitt and Stanton Davis each had 12 and Sean McCall added 11, highlighting the Broncho scoring.

The University of the Ozarks

at CSU (Jan. 4)

In a game full of mishap, the Bronchos committed 29 turnovers compared with 24 by Ozarks. This was the first game in 15 days for CSU, following a holiday break from action.

CSU shot only 47 percent from the field and 59 percent from the charity stripe. The most notable statistic was a 47-34 edge in rebounding in favor of the Bronchos.

CSU was led by McCall with 21 points and 10 rebounds and Marlon Brown with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Brown also added four slam dunks.

CSU trailed 63-56 with 8:28 to go in the game before scoring 15 unanswered points to take a commanding 71-63 lead with 3:29 left.

Broncho forward Bobby Harris scored eight of his 11 points during this stretch to ignite CSU.

The Bronchos held on for a 77-71 victory.

Benedictine at CSU (Jan. 8)

CSU overcame an early 11-point deficit and erupted for a season-high point total en route to a 118-79 thrashing of Benedictine, Kan., during a slam-dunk show before a dismal crowd of 150 at Broncho Fieldhouse.

The Bronchos set a new singlegame record for jams with 12, 10 of which were in the second half where the Bronchos scored 69 points.

The 'dunk express' was headed by 6-foot-9 junior specialist `Downtown' Marlon Brown with five dunks to go along with a team-leading 30 points and five three-pointers.

Six Bronchos scored in double figures as CSU had arguably its best outing of the season.

McCall had 24 points, Michael Powers scored 17, Williams poured in 15, Harris added 14 and Larry Wise netted 10 for the wellbalanced Broncho attack.

The 118 points is only three shy of the school record 121 which the Bronchos scored last season in a rout of Cameron.

Southeastern at CSU (Jan. 9)

Despite a 26-point outburst by McCall including six treys, CSU was not able to overcome a 51-44 halftime deficit and wound up on the losing end of a 94-88 score.

Southeastern improved to 9-4 using a spread offense which is set up to create one-on-one situations, according to Broncho head coach Jim Seward.

CSU jumped out to an early 10-2 lead and remained tied with 8:04 remaining in the first half, but the Savages used two spurts to go up by seven at the break. The Bronchos could get no closer than four, at 76-72, with just under seven minutes to play in the game.

CSU at Angelo State (Jan. 13)

Angelo State nailed a threepoint shot at the buzzer to hold off a red-hot CSU team in the first Lone Star Conference game of the year for the Bronchos, 81-78.

The two teams exchanged leads seven times in the first half and were tied seven times as well.

The final tie in the second half occurred with just over five minutes left to play, with the teams even at 66 apiece.

Brown led the Broncho scoring with 19. Williams added 15 and McCall scored 13 to highlight CSU's offensive production.
