Feb 10, 2022
Evansville Aces, Ind. (AP) Cooper Neese had a career-high 35 points as Indiana State Sycamores narrowly defeated Evansville 80-77 in double overtime on Thursday night.

Cameron Henry had 17 points and seven rebounds for Indiana State (10-14, 3-9 Missouri Valley Conference), which broke its four-game losing streak. Micah Thomas added 11 points. Kailex Stephens had 13 rebounds.
Blaise Beauchamp scored a season-high 29 points for the Purple Aces (6-17, 2-10). Shamar Givance added 18 points and seven rebounds. Blake Sisley had 17 points.
