MILWAUKEE -- Darius Roy scored 24 points and Milwaukee roared back from 14-points down to beat Cleveland State for the fourth straight time, 83-76 on Thursday night.

Appleby hit three 3s in the first four minutes of the second half to push the Vikings' lead back to 14, 47-33. After Roy turned a 3-point play to cut the lead to six, Appleby hit another 3 and, after drawing a foul from Roy in the backcourt, knocked down three free throws to push the lead back into double digits.
Jake Wright, Roy and Bobby Arthur-Williams hit three straight 3s to pare the deficit to one, 53-52 with 11:20 to go. Roy tied the game with a free throw and put the Panthers up for good with a layup with 8:30 to go.
