The game will be the fi rst of two on Saturday at Hulman Center as part of the Sycamore Holiday Showcase, with tip-off is set for 2 p.m. on Nellie and John Wooden Court. The Sycamores are coming off a tough road stretch that saw them play two nationally ranked opponents and play four games in seven days, including three straight in three days Dec. 6-8 in Louisville, Ky., at the Marques Maybin Classic. ISU wrapped up that road swing with a defeat at the hands of the then No. 14 ranked Purdue Boilermakers a week ago at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. The Sycamores played tough against their Big Ten Conference counterparts, but 24 points off ISU turnovers and 16 second-chance points helped the Boilermakers to a win in front of their home crowd. Junior guard Harry Marshall led the way for the Sycamores in his fi rst game of the season with 16 points and six assists. Senior forward Jay Tunnell added 11 points and fi ve rebounds in the effort for ISU, while sophomore forward Isiah Martin rounded out a trio of Sycamores in double fi gures with 10 points. Robbie Hummel led all scorers with 25 points on 7-for-13 shooting, while JaJuan Johnson added 12 points and Lewis Jackson fi nished with INDIANA STATE NUMERICAL ROSTER GAME DAY CENTRAL VS.

The basketball season got off to an exciting start, as the Indiana State men s basketball team pulled out to a late lead and secured a exhibition victory over the DePauw Tigers in front of 3,346 fans at Hulman Center. The Sycamores got off to a quick 11-2 lead, thanks to four quick points from junior Jay Tunnell. However, DePauw quickly went on an 11-1 run to take its fi rst lead of the game at on a three-pointer from Mike Moore. The lead would eventually grow to 10 for the Tigers at on a jumper from Stephen Schott. Indiana State then fought back with a 12-3 run as two free throws from Tunnell cut the DePauw lead to one at with 3:36 left in the fi rst half. After a Brian Oilar three-pointer widened the lead to four points at 31-27, freshman Isiah Martin threw down the fi rst dunk of his career at ISU and Harry Marshall followed with a layup to tie the game at with just two minutes left on the clock. DePauw would then score the next six points to take a lead into the locker room at the half. The two squads traded baskets to open the second half, with DePauw eventually going up by six points at the 14:41 mark. The Sycamores then battled back with six straight points from Marico Stinson and Marshall to knot the score at eight minutes into the half. Four-consecutive free throws from Steve Lemasters and a made jumper from Tom Callen once again widened the lead to six for DePauw at with 8:50 left on the clock. ISU would eventually tie the game at on a jumper from Cole Holmstrom with 4:28 left in the game and then took their fi rst lead since the 13:17 mark in the fi rst half at on a threepointer from freshman Aaron Carter. DePauw fought back and regained the lead at on a three-pointer by Moore, his fourth of the game. However, that would be the last lead of the game for the Tigers, as the Sycamores fi nished the game on a 14-4 run over the last three minutes to secure the win. Four players scored in double fi gures for the Sycamores, led by Carter s team-high 16 points. Adam Arnold just missed out on a double-double by one rebound for ISU, as he pulled down nine rebounds to go along with his 12 points scored :05 pm at Hulman Center DePauw Callen, Tom * Werntz, Ryan * Moore, Mike * Oilar, Brian * Schott, Stephen * James, Tony Simpson, Ross Wills, Drew Stone, Trevor Hagen, Eric Gray, David Lemasters, Steve Sever, Ryan Team Totals FG % 1st Half: % 3FG % 1st Half: % FT % 1st Half: % Indiana State nd half: % 2nd half: % 2nd half: % Game: % Game: % Game: % Deadball Rebounds 2 01 Moore, Gabe * Arnold, Adam * Holstrom, Cole * Carter, Aaron * Tunnell, Jay * Leitnaker, Brant Lee, Lamar Martin, Isiah Marshall, Harry Printy, Jordan Stinson, Marico McCoy, Todd Yelovich, Mick Team Totals FG % 1st Half: % 3FG % 1st Half: % FT % 1st Half: % 2nd half: % 2nd half: % 2nd half: % Game: % Game: % Game: % Deadball Rebounds 2 Officials: Technical fouls: DePauw-None.

The Bowling Green, Ind., native led the Sycamores with 16 points, including a 3-for-5 effort from three-point range, and added six assists and three rebounds in 31 minutes of action against the nationallyranked Boilermakers. Marshall had to sit out the team s fi rst eight games of the season (academics). HITTING THE BOARDS Indiana State had been out-rebounded in every game this season heading into last Saturday s game against No. 14 Purdue. However, the Sycamores hung tough with their Big Ten counterparts and went even on rebounds Each team corralled nine offensive boards and 18 defensive rebounds in the contest, but the Boilermakers had the edge on second-chance points TUNNELL TO PLAY IN 100TH GAME OF CAREER AT ISU Indiana State fi elds one of its youngest teams in years in 2008, but senior forward Jay Tunnell provides the team some much-needed leadership on and off the court. In today s game against DePauw, Tunnell will reach a career milestone as he will play in his 100th career game at Indiana State. During that time, he has averaged 8.9 points, 4.7 assists and 24.9 minutes per game for the Sycamores, while starting in 94 games. In addition, Tunnel has scored 877 points in his career, which leaves him just 123 points shy of becoming the 31st player in school history with at least 1,000 career points, and has pulled down 469 rebounds. NO EASY VICTORY FOR THE SYCAMORES The Sycamores had to fi ght from behind to pick up their fi rst win of the season against Lamar. ISU was down by as much as eight points with just over seven minutes remaining in the game and fought back to take a one-point lead with just 38 seconds remaining after a three-pointer by Rashad Reed. Lamar then tied the game at after two free throws with nine seconds left, but it was Reed who came up big once again and hit a fl oater in the paint with 0.2 seconds left on the clock to give the Sycamores a win. COMING THROUGH IN THE CLUTCH Rashad Reed was Indiana State s leading scorer heading into the team s game against Lamar at the Marques Maybin Classic at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. When the Sycamores needed a go-ahead basket late in the game against the Cardinals, they went to Reed who connected on a fl oater in the lane with 0.2 seconds to propel ISU to its fi rst win of the season. Reed finished the game with 15 points and six rebounds for the Sycamores in the game and now leads the team with an average of 12.9 points per game in seven starts. REED GETS SOME COMPANY IN THE 20 POINT CLUB Through seven games, junior Rashad Reed was the only Sycamores to score more than 20 points in a game with his 21 points in the season opener at Northern Illinois. However, on against Ohio both Jay Tunnell and Aaron Carter joined the club as each scored 20 points against the Bobcats. Tunnell tied his career high with 20 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field to go along with seven rebounds. Carter s 20 points also set a career high for the sophomore, who used a 6-for-9 effort from three-point range to set the new mark. The last time ISU had two players score 20 points or more in the same game was against Drake on December 30, 2007, when Marico Stinson (37) and Cole Holmstrom (20) achieved the feat. 4

Cutter played a strong game against No. 11 Louisville, as he scored a career-high eight points in 24 minutes of action. He followed that up by dishing out a career-high eight assists against Lamar to help the team win its first game of the season. Leitnaker also had a career effort against Louisville, as he scored a career-high nine points while tying his career high with five rebounds in 15 minutes of action against the Cardinals. MR. CONSISTENCY Sophomore Aaron Carter is quickly asserting himself as one of the most consistent Sycamores on this year s squad. Carter, who had four double-digit scoring efforts in 30 games as a freshman last season, has posted six double-digit scoring efforts in six of the team s nine games. The Cannelton, Ind., native scored in double fi gures twice in three days at the Marques Maybin Classic d in Louisville, including a career-high 20 points on 6-for-9 shooting from three point range against Ohio. Carter currently ranks second on the team with an average of 11.3 points per game to go along with 3.8 rebounds per contest. TUNNELL JUST MISSES A DOUBLE-DOUBLE Senior Jay Tunnell has recorded four career double-doubles in his four seasons at Indiana State. In the team s win against Lamar, he just missed out on the fi fth of his career after he scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help the Sycamores defeat the Cardinals at the Marques Maybin Classic at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. AN IMPRESSIVE DEBUT FOR CRAWFORD At 6-11, junior transfer Josh Crawford will no doubt pose a problem for opposing defenses for Indiana State this season. He gave Northern Illinois fi ts with his size and prowess in the paint in the season opener, as he scored 13 points and pulled down a game-high seven rebounds against the Huskies. He also made his presence felt on the defensive end, as recorded three blocked shots while altering several others shots. He followed that up with 16 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots against North Texas on Sunday to average 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks in his fi rst two games in an ISU uniform. A BALANCED SCORING ATTACK The Sycamores have shown an ability to share in the scoring duties this season based on their performances in the team s fi rst three games of the season. Against Northern Illinois four players fi nished in double fi gures, led by Rashad Reed s 21 points on 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range. That became a trend for the Sycamores in their second game of the week on Sunday against North Texas, as once again four players tallied double-digit scoring efforts. Freshman Carl Richard led the way against the Mean Green with a career-high 17 points while Crawford posted another solid effort with 16 points and four blocked shots. Against Murray State, the trend continued as three players scored in double fi gures led by Tunnell s 12 points and redshirt freshman Keenan Barlow s career-high 11 points. Sunday, Dec. 21 South Dakota St. at Northern Iowa UC-Irvine at Missouri State - All Times Central 1:05 p.m. 8:05 p.m. DIALED IN FROM LONG DISTANCE DIALED IN FROM LONG DISTANCE Against Murray State, the Sycamores made a season-high 12 three-pointers score 36 of the team s 61 total points. Redshirt freshman Keenan Barlow led the way with a 3-for- 4 effort to end up with a career-high 11 points, while fellow redshirt freshman Jordan Printy, senior Jay Tunnell, junior Rashad Reed and sophomore Aaron Carter each added two treys against the Racers. 5

Prior to achieving legendary success as the head coach at UCLA, Wooden began his collegiate coaching career and served two years as head men s basketball coach, baseball coach and athletics director at Indiana State from 1946 to While earning his master s degree at Indiana State, he compiled a record as basketball coach while leading the Sycamores to postseason tournament appearances each year and two conference championships. In addition, coach Wooden will also be inducted into the Missouri Valley Conference Athletics Hall of Fame in March. THE DREAM SEASON YEARS LATER This season marks the 30th anniversary of Indiana State s historic season that saw the Sycamores advance to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament and eventually to the National Championship game. In order to get there, the Sycamores had to defeat today s opponent, DePaul, in the Final Four. Led by consensus First- Team All-American and future NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird, Indiana State compiled a 33-1 overall record, including a perfect 29-0 record during the regular season with the only loss of the season coming in the championship game to Michigan State MAHURIN SIGNS ON THE DOTTED LINE MAHURIN SIGNS ON THE DOTTED LINE With just one senior on this year s roster, Indiana State men s basketball head coach Kevin McKenna needed to fi ll just one spot for next year s team. He fi lled that spot with the addition of local star RJ Mahurin (Rockville, Ind./Rockville HS), who signed a National Letter of Intent with ISU to continue his education and basketball career. Mahurin, a 6-foot-8 forward, has scored 1,404 points in his career for the Rox and is just 118 points away from becoming the top scorer in school history heading into his senior season. During his junior season, Mahurin led the Rox to a sectional championship and a spot in the regional fi nals with a 23-4 overall record. He averaged 25.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game, which earned him Honorable Mention All-State honors from the Associated Press and led to him being named the Tribune Star s Wabash Valley Player of the Year.
