Devin Davis is eighth with 136. … The RedHawks’ Feb. 9 home game against Akron has been moved from 3 to 1 p.m. so it can be televised on ESPNU.
About Central Michigan: The Chippewas have lost five of their last six games. They are 5-3 at home, 1-7 on the road and 3-1 on neutral courts. … Keno Davis is in his first season at the CMU helm. He was the head coach at Providence the last three years. … Central has not had a winning season since going 25-7 in 2002-03. … The Chippewas rank second in the MAC in free-throw percentage (72.8), trailing only Toledo (79.0). … Randall was a three-season player for North Carolina-Greensboro. He graduated from the school in three years.
Coach John Cooper on Central Michigan: “They have some similarities with us, pressuring and playing full-court basketball. Both head coaches are new and the styles are new and there’s a lot of adjustments going on. There’s some frustrations on our end, just like there’s some frustrations on our end. Randall is a guy that’s going to put some points up for them. If he’s struggling, there’s a chance they may struggle.”
