ISU lead by 9 points at halftime, and continued to lead almost the entire 2nd half. But they went cold and only were able to score 2 points in the final 3+ minutes, which allowed UCF to come from behind and win the game.
ISU's starters were only 6-28 and scored only 14 total points. Their bench was 22-33 and accounted for 51 of their 65 points. Zach Copeland, ISU's leading scorer had a terrible game. He was 1-8 with 3 turnovers. ISU is now 2-1.

Drake is blowing out Division III Simpson College 45-25 in the first half.

Ball State outrebounded Indiana State 41-28. BSU pulled away in the second half and maintained a double-digit lead most of the 2nd half to win rather easily over the Sycamores. Indiana State, which has played a difficult schedule (road games at Dayton & Louisville, and a neutral court gme against ball State) is now 0-3.


So after almost 2 weeks, the MVC has a cumulative record of 23-14, and 19-14 vs. Division I.
The MVC ranks 8th in Conference RPI-
