The Sycamores rallied from an 11-point deficit to tie the game with under a minute left in regulation before ultimately falling to the Beacons.

ISU guard Cameron Henry matched a career-high with 25 points, including 14-straight points in the second half.

For his performance, he was named to the All-Tournament Second Team.

WELCOME TO THE FLOOR
» Before ISU's game at Northern Iowa, true freshman Quimari Peterson had seen the court in one game for a total of four minutes due to injuries and COVID-19 protocols.

» That all changed in Cedar Falls when the guard played 25 minutes and scored his first points in an Indiana State uniform. Peterson connected on three of his eight shots for six points while grabbing six rebounds.
