EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Stopping Evansville from going wild on 3-pointers was at the top of Illinois State's scouting report heading into Saturday's game at Ford Center.
Thanks to a zone they haven't used much this season, the Redbirds accomplished that. Evansville went 7 of 25 outside the arc.
Now another problem has sprung up. Fixing its own offensive woes figured to consume ISU's coaching staff heading into Sunday's 1 p.m. finale in the Missouri Valley Conference weekend series.
ISU went more than seven minutes without scoring late as Evansville pulled away to defeat the Redbirds, 57-48, at Ford Center.
