MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The smallest man on the court played the largest role.

Braylon Rayson, all 5-feet-9 of him, tied his career-high with seven 3-pointers en route to 26 points and a team-high nine rebounds Tuesday as the Central Michigan men’s basketball team held off Toledo, 77-69, in a Mid-American Conference men’s basketball game before 2,139 at McGuirk Arena.

Rayson got plenty of help from his teammates as the Chippewas snapped a three-game losing streak in improving to 14-12, 7-6 MAC. They are tied for second in the West Division with the Rockets and Northern Illinois, one game behind Ball State.
