PEORIA, Ill. -- Two free throws in the final 10 seconds won it for Bradley here Saturday night over the Aces, 77-76.  

The game-winners came from guard Sam Maniscalco, who drove to the basket and was fouled by Jason Holsinger with 10 seconds to go.  He made both free throws to put the Braves up 77-76, and Evansville then had the ball stolen in the final four seconds as the Aces tried to get a final shot.

Evansville dropped behind by 10 in the first half at 23-13, but that's when the Aces warmed up with their shooting and Bradley cooled off.  Evansville took its first lead at 31-30, and extended the lead to 40-32 in the final three minutes of the first half.

The Aces also led by six points with 6:50 to play on Holsinger's third three-pointer of the second half, but Bradley battled back to improve its record to 9-10 overall and 2-5 in the league.  Evansville is now 5-12 and 0-7.

Holsinger led Evansville with 23 points and Shy Ely scored 20.  It was Ely's third straight game with at least 20 points.

The Aces play on the road for the fourth time in the last five games on Wednesday at Indiana State.  Game time at Terre Haute is 6:05 CST.  Then it's back home on Saturday, Jan. 26 to play Missouri State.
