ST. LOUIS – Indiana State guard Tamara Lee was named the Missouri Valley Conference's Newcomer of the Week Monday following Indiana State's showing at the Grand Canyon Thanksgiving Classic.
 
Lee, a graduate transfer from Wichita State, averaged 15.0 points per game and shot 45 percent from the field as the Sycamores rallied from a nine-point deficit for a double-overtime win at Grand Canyon. She tied a career-best 20 points in that win as Lee shot 37.5 percent from three-point range and hit all nine free throws over the weekend.
 
The double overtime win – the first trip to double overtime for ISU since 2006, notched a 3-0 start for the Sycamores for the first time since the 2009-10 season and brought the team just one road win shy of matching last year's road win total (4).
 
Indiana State returns to action Thursday, Nov. 29 when the Sycamores play at Southeast Missouri. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
