Then he added another and after two empty trips for the Redbirds, Murphy scored down low for the 10-4 lead. Tyreke Key scored four in a row and made it a personal 7-0 run on the conventional 3-point play with 11:27 remaining which capped an impressive 17-0 spurt and staked the Sycamores to a 17-4 lead. Daouda Ndiaye scored with 10:31 remaining in the first half to stop the Sycamore run and end a five and a half minute drought to cut the ISU lead down to Bronson Kessinger poured in a lay-up off the feed from Barnes with 6:40 remaining for its largest lead of the first half points at Murphy tallied a free throw with 55 seconds left but Milik Yarbrough had two charity tosses with 28 seconds left as the Sycamores took a lead into the half.
