Phoenix Rising On Sycamore Schedule Indiana State will be facing off against each of the two NCAA Division I teams which feature the Indiana State Basketball Notes

3 A Win Over Elon Would... Improve the Sycamores to 2-0 all-time against the Phoenix. Give Indiana State a 5-1 start to the season on their home court... including a four-game winning streak inside Hulman Center Be the Sycamores first win over a current member of the Colonial Athletic Association since a 2015 victory against Hofstra in the Paradise Jam and improve ISU to 3-2 all-time against the league. Phoenix nickname this season as they took on Green Bay on December 12 and will host Elon this week on December 22. The Sycamores are the only team in the country to face both teams which use the Phoenix mascot this season. ISU downed Green Bay and will be facing off against Elon for the first time since Sycamores Win While Being Outshot For First Time Since 2016 Indianapolis held a 46.4 percent to 42.1 percent shooting advantage in last Saturday s Sycamore victory over the visiting Greyhounds. It marked the first time since a January 13, 2016 victory for the Sycamores over Northern Iowa that ISU shot worse than opposition, but still earned the win. That is a span of 28 games in a row in which ISU held the lower shooting percentage and was saddled with a loss. UNI hit 40.8 percent of their shots while ISU hit 39.7 percent. The Sycamores were aided in that game by a career-high 30 points from Brenton Scott as he hit 6-of-10 3-pointers, as well as a 12-of-13 mark from the charity stripe. Against Indianapolis, the Sycamores scored 20 points from the free throw line compared to 15 by the Greyhounds. Greg Lansing All Alone In Third Place For Most Wins At Indiana State Indiana State s win over Green Bay was career victory No. 125 for eighth-year head coach Greg Lansing. He is now all alone in third place all-time at ISU. He needs nine more wins to catch Royce Waltman for second at 134 and the school record is held by Duane Klueh who owns 182 career victories. Lansing also owns 65 victories in Missouri Valley Conference play which is just four off the school record of 69 held by Indiana State s second all-time winningest head coach Royce Waltman ( ). Lansing has led the Sycamores to the MVC Championship Game twice in his tenure. Brenton Scott Is 2nd All-Time In 3-Pointers & Top 10 In Scoring Indiana State senior Brenton Scott is just the third Sycamore to ever record at least 200 career 3-pointers. He now sits at 229 for his career. Scott has joined school record holder Michael Menser ( ) who owns 283 career trifectas and Jordan Printy ( ) who hit 215 as the only Sycamores to post at least 200 career trifectas. Scott is in eighth place on the ISU all-time scoring list with 1,457 career points. He needs 98 more points to catch Eddie Bird for seventh. Record Breaking Four Overtime Game Closes Out Gildan Charleston Classic Indiana State went to four overtimes in their third and final game of the Gildan Charleston Classic. This was the first game to reach double overtime game for the Sycamores since an win at home over Eastern Illinois on December 21, Additionally, it became the first Sycamore game to reach triple overtime since 2011 at Wichita State. The game against Ohio is only the second to go quadruple overtime with the other on December 27, 1986 against Butler. The Sycamores have played a total of seven overtime games in the last seasons, including two which went multiple overtime periods. In the Ohio game, the Sycamores had 79 field goals attempts which are the most for the program since they had 75 against Middle Tennessee State in Additionally, the Ohio game was the first time the Sycamores had six players reach double figures scoring since the triple overtime game at Wichita State in Sycamores Post Dominating Victory In Season Opener At Indiana Indiana State enjoyed a tremendous start to the season with a victory over in-state rival Indiana inside Assembly Hall. The 90 points scored represent the most by a Sycamore team in the all-time series with the Hoosiers -- topping the previous best of 72 set in a 2005 win inside Hulman Center. ISU won that game by five points, 72-67, which until Friday night was the Sycamores largest margin of victory in the series. The Sycamores have now won four of the last six meetings in the all-time series dating back to Indiana State s last win inside Assembly Hall back in It was the Sycamores first win in the series since The Sycamore victory broke a string of 32 wins in a row for the Hoosiers in their home opener and was ISU s first win on the road in a season opener since a 2014 overtime victory at IUPUI.
