TERRE HAUTE, IND. – Indiana State men's basketball secured a 60–51 win over Louisiana Tech on Wednesday night at the Hulman Center, improving to 3–2 on the season.

Camp Wagner led the Sycamores with 16 points, knocking down four three-pointers, while Ian Scott added 12 points and recorded a double-double with 12 rebounds and three steals.

Sterling Young opened the scoring just 30 seconds into the game with a three-pointer. Louisiana Tech answered with four straight points, but Indiana State quickly regained control, hitting threes on each of their first four made shots to take a 12–7 lead.

Wagner's back-to-back catch-and-shoot threes forced a Louisiana Tech timeout as the Sycamores stretched the margin to 23–16 during a 9–2 run from 12:05 to 8:26. The teams traded baskets the rest of the half, with Indiana State taking a 30–25 advantage into the break.

The Bulldogs trimmed the deficit to two early in the second half, but the Sycamores responded with an 11–3 run featuring consecutive threes from Bruno Alocen. Louisiana Tech countered with an 11–3 run of their own to pull within three points.

Indiana State closed strong, scoring eight of the final ten points, aided by a key defensive stand from Enel St. Bernard that included a blocked shot with 25 seconds remaining. The Sycamores secured the win, 60–51, over LA Tech.
