COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Marcus Keene continued his torrid start. Braylon Rayson and David DiLeo weren’t bad, either.

Keene scored 30 points, Rayson had 18, and DiLeo finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds Monday as the Central Michigan men’s basketball team improved to 2-0 with an 86-74 nonconference victory over Tennessee Tech at the Golden Eagles’ Eblen Center.

Rayson, a senior guard, scored 16 of his points in the second half. He scored seven straight points, six of which came on a pair of 3-pointers, to give the Chippewas the lead for good, 57-54, with just over 12 minutes remaining.
