After coming off of a road loss to 12th ranked Xavier, Head Coach Ray Harper and company were looking to get back in the win column with a victory over Indiana State. The Sycamores came into E.A. Diddle Arena Sunday with a 3-5 record as they were looking to give the Hilltoppers their second straight loss.
However, sophomore forward Justin Johnson and the rest of the Hilltoppers had other plans on the afternoon.
The first half opened slowly with neither team getting much offense going as the Hilltoppers held a small 4-2 lead over the Sycamores five minutes into the matchup.
