Marcus Keene couldn't will Central Michigan to victory Saturday, but he did put on a show for Pittsburgh Steelers star and former Chippewas receiver Antonio Brown.

Keene, who leads the nation in scoring with over 30 points per game, dropped 40 in a 109-100 overtime loss to Ball State, with Brown in attendance to support his alma mater.

It was the junior's sixth game of the season with at least 40 points. Nobody has had more in a single campaign in the last 20 years.

Keene went 14-for-36 from the floor and 6-for-20 from downtown. He was also 6-for-8 from the free-throw line.
