NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) Malcolm McMillan scored 11 of his team-high 15 points in the first half as Central Connecticut State pulled away from Hartford for a 73-59 win Tuesday night.

A 3-pointer by Mark Nwakamma with 8:17 to play pulled Hartford within 7 points, 55-47, but Faronte Drakeford then scored six points in a 10-1 run by the Blue Devils and the Hawks never got closer than down 14 the rest of the way.

CCSU (2-6) used an 8-0 spurt, sparked by a 3-pointer by Kyle Vinales, to go into the break with a 38-27 advantage.
