Foul trouble snaps Missouri State’s two game win streak

February 6, 2016 By Bill Pollock

D.J. Balentine scored all 18 of his points in the second half and broke Evansville’s career scoring record to help lead the Purple Aces (19-6, 8-4 MVC) past visiting Missouri State, 83-64, on Saturday.

Balentine’s 3-pointer with 2:47 to play gave him, 2,280 career points to pass Colt Ryan as Evansville’s career scoring leader.

The Bears (10-14, 6-6) got a career-high 21 points from Chris Kendrix to lead three players in double figures. Dequon Miller and Camyn Boone each pitched in 10 points apiece for Missouri State, which had a two-game win streak snapped in the loss.

In a game that was more statistically even than the final score indicated, both teams knocked down six 3-pointers, while Evansville scored two more field goals. The difference came at the foul line, where the Aces made 27-of-31 (.871) attempts on 27 Missouri State fouls called.

Missouri State will head to Northern Iowa (13-11, 5-6 MVC) on Wednesday night before returning to JQH Arena on Saturday, Feb. 13 for a Hall of Fame Weekend game against Indiana State at 3:05 p.m.
