Five Things to Know

1. The Road to March … Literally
   Indiana State embarks upon a long road in the calendar year's shortest month as the Sycamores only have two home games (over one weekend) in the month of February. Five of ISU's seven games will be away from Hulman Center in a stretch reminiscent of the start of the season when the Trees opened the year with six of their first eight games away from home.
2. Hot Tamara
   As the weather has gotten cold, Tamara Lee has gotten hot. Since Jan. 6, Lee has found her rhythm on the court by shooting nearly 39 percent from the field and averaging 12.6 ppg, including a team-best 48.7 percent mark from beyond the arc. She has also grabbed 10 steals in that time frame and is averaging a 76.9 percent mark from the free throw line.
3. Cardiac Trees
   Indiana State is keeping fans on the edge of their seats this season for a full 40 minutes each game. The Sycamores have played in 10 games that have been decided by 10 or fewer points, posting a 7-3 record in those games.
4. Tree Defense Standing Tall
   Indiana State's defensive effort is something to take note of this year. ISU's scoring defense ranks 163rd nationally and third in the Valley, limiting opponents to 63.2 points per game. That includes holding league-leading Drake to just 28 points in the first half on Jan. 25, the Bulldogs' lowest first half scoring output of the season. Additionally, ISU is limiting opponents to just 88.3 points per 100 possessions, a mark that ranks 111th nationally and in the top 30% of the country.
5. Surpassing Last Year's Road Win Total
   With a 61-58 win over Southern Illinois on Jan. 6, Indiana State registered its fifth road win of the season, surpassing last season's road win total (4). The Sycamores have not posted a winning road record since the 2014-15 season when ISU went 9-6 in road games. Indiana State's win at Evansville on Feb. 1 matched the road wins from the 2016-17 season and two more victories away from home could match the nine road wins from 2014-15. The record for road victories in a season for the Sycamores is 13 road wins set during the 2005-06 season.
