The Indiana State Sycamores are off to a 13-8 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference, and on a four-game losing streak.
They are coming off a loss against the Murray State Racers (82-73) in their previous outing. Courvoisier McCauley stepped up to score 19 points and Robbie Avila scored 18 points as well, but it still wasn't enough as their team lost by a nine-point margin.
They will now take on the Drake Bulldogs, who are on a decent 15-6 start to the season, fourth in the same conference, and managed a win against the Evansville Purple Aces (97-61) in their last outing.
Tucker DeVries led the scoring charts with a 23-point performance that allowed his team to win by a 36-point margin. They will now host this game at the Knapp Center on Tuesday, January 24th, where they will look to extend their winning start.
