Feb. 2- While the end result might not have been ideal, the individual performances for the Eagles against Indiana University East were definitely encouraging. Senior Kyle Lamb put on his best performance since his injury last season, going 11-19 on his way to 33 points. Freshman Trenton Thompson continued his stellar first season with 16 points. The Eagles would go on to lose the game 90-74.
Feb.4- Lamb was the team leader again against Indiana University Southeast. Despite the loss, there’s plenty of room for momentum to swing back in the Eagles favor. Another bright spot came from sophomore Austin Kindred. Despite not being featured much this season, Kindred got some solid minutes against IUSE which he translated into 10 points and 10 rebounds.
