Raftis went 7-for-12 from the field and was 5-for-7 from the charity stripe to lead all scorers. Frontcourt mate Ben Torsney finished with 15 points off a 7-for-9 shooting performance.
Denison was paced by sophomore guard Caleb McFerren (Zanesville, Ohio/Zanesville) who scored 11 points off 5-of07 shooting in 28 minutes. Brian Elder (Granville, Ohio/Watkins Memorial) and Chris Luther (Dayton, Ohio/Oakwood) both finished with nine points for the Big Red.
The Big Red will hit the hardwood again on Wednesday (Feb. 6) when they travel to Gambier, Ohio for a 7:30 p.m. match-up with Kenyon College.
