SERIES HISTORY
Tuesday's game against Saint Louis will mark the 20th meeting all-time between the programs with the Billikens owning a 12-7 advantage in the series which dates to 1924. It will be the first meeting between the two programs since the 2015-16 season when Indiana State ended SLU's nine-game winning streak with a 76-68 victory. Before the win in 2015, the Billikens had won win in-a-row with ISU's last victory coming in 1983.

AT A GLANCE
Eleventh-year head coach Greg Lansing returns a wealth of experience from last season's 18-12 team, including first-team All-MVC selection Tyreke Key. The Sycamores will also look for forward Jake LaRavia to continue his upward trends following a strong freshman campaign. LaRavia earned a spot on this year's preseason Second Team after being named to the league's All-Newcomer and All-Freshman teams a year ago. Lansing returns seven letterwinners from a year ago, including four starters. Cooper Neese (7.3 PPG) and Tre Williams (7.2 PPG) join Key and LaRavia while the Sycamores will also have Cam Bacote, Cobie Barnes and Keon Sellers returning. ISU added seven newcomers, including two graduate transfers in Tobias Howard Jr. (Towson) and Randy Miller Jr. (North Carolina Central).

KEY CONTINUES TO CLIMB ISU'S SCORING LIST
With an 18-point performance against Purdue, senior Tyreke Key has now scored 1,277 points over his four-year Indiana State career. Key needs just 21 points to move to 16th all-time and 25 points to move into the top-15 in program history.

LOCKED AND LOADED
Junior Cooper Neese put on a shooting clinic Saturday at Purdue. The 6-foot-4 guard was 7-for-11 from the field against the Boilermakers including 4-for-8 from 3-point land. On the season Neese is 6-for-14 from deep and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.
