NIT

Maceo Baston scored 16 of his 19 points when Michigan pulled away in the second half en route to a 76-63 victory over Miami in the first round of the NIT Thursday night at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Michigan (20-11) also received 18 points from Louis Bullock and 14 from Robert Traylor.

Clifton Clark of Miami (16-13) led all scorers with 25 points but the Hurricanes lost for the seventh time in their last eight games.

Oklahoma St. 79, Tulane 72

At Stillwater, Okla., Joe Adkins scored 19 points and the Cowboys survived a 3-point barrage in the final minutes to defeat the Green Wave in another opener.

Oklahoma State (17-14) led 73-63 with 1:02 to play on Adrian Peterson’s two free throws and seemingly had the game in hand.

But Keith Harris hit a 3-pointer and, after two Cowboys free throws, Chris Cameron hit with two more treys to pull Tulane (20-11) within 75-72 with 39.5 seconds to go.
