Box Score Central State falls 95-76 to undefeated Indianapolis

The Greyhounds, which improved to 6-0 with the victory, took advantage of a smaller CSU team, out rebounding the Marauders 34-23 leading to a 46-32 edge in second chance points.

Four of the five Indianapolis starters scored in double figures. Dai Jon Parker finished with a game high 26 points. Joe Lawson finished with 22 points while Brennan McElroy did most of his damage in the paint with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Guard Jordan finished added 16 points. The starters combined for all but 7 of Indianapolis' 95 points.

Guard Masceo Harmon shouldered the load for CSU, scoring 21 points to go along with 5 assists. Sterling Gilmore chipped in with 15 points. Indianapolis managed to keep Raheem Lemons at bay as the 6'5 forward finished with just 2 points and 1 rebound in 24 minutes of play.

Falling to 3-3 overall, the Marauders will return home next weekend to host the Ben Waterman Classic. CSU will kick off the tournament on Saturday against Washington Adventist at 6 pm.
