Last Game: SIU 99, Evansville 60

• Junior Lola Bracy (17 points) and freshman Abby Feit (16) closed-out impressive weekends, combining for 33 of Evansville's 60 points.
• Four Salukis finished in double-figures with Nicole Martin pacing SIU with 19 points in 18 minutes. Coming off the bench, Payton McCallister provided an extra spark for SIU, hitting five three-pointers and finishing with 15 points.
• SIU's efficiency and ability to get shots at the rim powered the Salukis to the victory.
• The Salukis racked up 36 points in the first quarter, the most scored against the Aces in a quarter this season and limited Evansville to 17 points. SIU was 14-20 (70%) from the field in the first stanza with 22 points coming in the paint.
• The second quarter saw more of the same from SIU, but this time it was the outside shot that propelled the Salukis. SIU hit five of its nine attempts from beyond the arc in the second period as the Salukis grew their lead as large as 30 at 53-23 before taking a 60-31 advantage to the locker room.
• Both teams' offenses were similarly luke warm in the third quarter, as the two sides both shot under 40% from the field. For Evansville, Feit and Bracy each led Evansville with four points in the period as the Salukis narrowly out-score UE in the quarter, 16-15.
• In the fourth, the Salukis reached 20 points in a quarter for the third time in the game, scoring 23 points and pushing their lead as high as 43 before closing the contest with the 99-60 win.

Previewing the Matchup

• Evansville and Indiana State are meeting for the 58th time with the Sycamores owning a 39-18 advantage in the series.
• The Aces and Sycamores met earlier this season at the Hulman Center as Indiana State picked-up a 68-58 win over Evansville.
• Evansville last defeated the Sycamores less than a year ago, earning a 59-56 win over Indiana State on March 3, 2019, the Aces' last conference victory.
• The last time the Aces earned a win over Indiana State in Evansville was on Dec. 30, 2016, whe UE captured a 57-41 win over the Sycamores at the Ford Center.

• Against the Salukis, Evansville hit just four three-pointers, tied for the second-lowest amount of triples the Aces have hit in a game this season. In Evansville's three victories, the Aces hit six-or-more threes, including a high of 10 made three-pointers against Marshall on Nov. 24.
