D'Aundray Brown scored 18 points and Cleveland State opened the season Sunday by upsetting No. 7 Vanderbilt 71-58 in a regional game of the Legends Classic.
Cleveland State, a veteran team with four seniors back from winning the Horizon League last season, hadn't played since an exhibition Wednesday night. The Vikings looked very fresh, while Vanderbilt (1-1) appeared sloppy and slow after opening Friday night with a late tipoff against Oregon.
Cleveland State scored first on a 3-pointer by Trevon Harmon within the first minute and never trailed. The Vikings forced Vanderbilt into 21 turnovers — 15 of them steals. Harmon finished with 11 points and Jeremy Montgomery added 10.
NO. 9 LOUISVILLE 68, LAMAR 48: Freshman Chane Behanan had 10 points and 13 rebounds for a second straight double-double to start his college career as host Louisville (2-0) overcame another injury to beat cold-shooting Lamar (1-1) at the Global Sports Invitational.
Louisville guard Mike Marra fell to the ground with 12:17 left in the second half after driving toward the lane and reached for his left knee.
NO. 10 PITTSBURGH 86, RIDER 78: Ashton Gibbs scored 24 points, including the clinching 3-pointer with a minute remaining, as Pittsburgh (2-0) got past Rider (0-2).
NO. 12 BAYLOR 92, JACKSON STATE 59: Freshman Quincy Miller scored 17 points, leading Baylor (2-0) in scoring again in a victory against Jackson State (0-2).
NO. 16 ARIZONA 73, BALL STATE 63: Kyle Fogg scored 19 points, Solomon Hill added 16 points and 11 rebounds, and host Arizona (3-0) pulled away late to beat Ball State (0-1).
NO. 20 TEXAS A&M 83, SOUTHERN 58: Ray Turner scored 20 points as Texas A&M (2-0) beat Southern (1-1).
NO. 21 CINCINNATI 65, ALABAMA STATE 40: Yancy Gates scored 15 as Cincinnati (1-0) beat Alabama State (0-2).
