The Chippewas certainly are enjoying the program's 50th season of womens basketball.

Tinara Moore was outstanding, scoring 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting, freshman Micaela Kelly added 17 points as Central Michigan won its first-ever NCAA game, 78-69.

Moore's lay-up at the 5:37 mark of the opening quarter gave her team the lead for the remainder of the day. LSU got as close as two points on a few occasions, but the Chippewas hit half of their shots (28-of-56) and showed why they're one of the top free throw shooting teams in the country, knocking down 15-of-17 to seal the historic win.

The MAC champions rely heavily on their starters and each of the five contributed Saturday. Reyna Frost added 12 points and 12 rebounds (CMU won the rebounding battle 41-29) before fouling out late in the fourth, Presley Hudson had 12 points and handed out eight assists and Cassie Breen hit a pair of 3-pointers to finish with eight points.

Games 477-478: Wednesday doubleheader

478 - LSU at Arkansas
January 10 at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR
SEC Network

Not sure we've seen a worse shooting half at this site than Arkansas' first 20 minutes. The Razorbacks were 6-of-33 (!) in the first half and went down 41-21 at the break on their way to a 75-54 loss.

LSU, on the other hand, was excellent in both halves (55%, 50%). Point guard Tremont Waters struggled with his shot (just 3-of-10 from the field), but handed out eight assists, while the inside belonged to the visitors as 6-11 Duop Reath (11 points, 5-of-10 shooting) and 6-10 Aaron Epps (13 points, 11 rebounds, 5-of-7 shooting) led a 44-26 advantage in the paint.

477 - Duke at Pittsburgh

Complete dominance from Duke, which got 16 points and 15 rebounds (nine offensive!) from Marvin Bagley in an 87-52 win.

The Blue Devils, who lead the country in scoring, jumped out to leads of 10-0, 32-12 and 43-13 (at that point Pittsburgh was out-scoring Bagley just 13-12), had 21 assists to just six turnovers and had six score in double figures.

Game 423 - Notre Dame vs. LSU

November 21 at Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, HI
[Maui Invitational semifinals]
ESPN

Impressive victory for the Fighting Irish, who moved into the tournament final with a 92-53 win.

The defense held LSU to 36 percent shooting (19-of-52) and forced 17 turnovers. Meanwhile, point guard Matt Farrell was in control of the game from the start, finishing with 17 points and seven assists. Great night as well for Temple Gibbs (26 points, 6-of-10 shooting from three).

Led by Farrell, the 5-0 Irish had 18 assists on 33 made field goals and turned the ball over just five times.

Wichita State's excellent guard Landry Shamet goes up against Farrell in what should be a great championship game on Wednesday.
