KALAMAZOO -- Senior Martelle McLemore scored 18 points to lead Western Michigan past Kalamazoo College, 78-52, in an exhibition game in front of 2,097 at Universty Arena Saturday afternoon. McLemore added six rebounds, three assists and three steals, while sophomore Flenard Whitfield added 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Freshman guard David Brown finished with 13 points, two rebounds, two steals and one assist and senior center Donald Lawson added 10 points, five rebounds and two blocks. The Hornets were still within five points, 52-47, with 9:40 remaining in the contest when the Broncos started to pull away. McLemore hit a three-pointer on a nice feed from David Kool and then Lawson blocked a shot on the other end and raced downcourt to convert the fast-break layup from Mike Douglas. Whitfield pushed the lead to 12, 59-47, after converting two free throws off an offensive rebound with 8:14 to play and the Hornets never came closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
The Broncos eventually advanced the lead to 26 points in the final moments, 77-51 with 1:05 to play, after walk-on freshman center Nick Stapert hit a jumper assisted by walk-on and former manager Ed Thomas. A three-pointer by McLemore assisted by junior Alex Wolf and an offensive rebound and putback by sophomore Muhammed Conteh put WMU on top by seven, 11-4, less than six minutes into the game. The Broncos continued to play well and went up by 11, 17-6, with 11:50 to go in the half after six consecutive points by Brown in 1:06. The Broncos eventually pushed their lead to 13 points, 28-15, after Douglas found Kool for a three-pointer with 7:54 to play, but Kalamazoo made a late run and cut the lead to four, 31-27, with 2:01 to play after Ryan Clark's fifth three-pointer of the half. Lawson scored in the paint on the next possession off a dish from Kool and then hit two free throws with 27 seconds to play to put the Broncos back up by eight, 35-27, at halftime.
The Broncos started fast out of the halftime locker room and forced three turnovers in the first minute of the second half to go back up by 11, 38-27, after a fast-break layup by Douglas and Kool free throw. K-College quickly cut the lead back to six, 38-32, but WMU answered with a 10-0 run behind five points from Whitfield to go up by 16, 48-32, with 16:37 to play. The Hornets made one last effort and whittled the lead back to five points over the next seven minutes until the Broncos made their final push to blow the game open. Kool added eight points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Douglas finished with a game-high six assists. The Hornets were led by Clark with 19 points, but he scored only four in the second half. Joe Prepolec added 10 points for the Hornets. The Broncos shot 42.4 percent from the field, including 48.4 percent in the second half. The Broncos outscored the Hornets 40-12 in the paint and 23-12 in second-chance points. The Broncos also forced 25 turnovers with 12 steals to lead K-College 32-11 in points off turnovers and 15-2 in fast-break points.
