12/20/2022 11:10:00 PM | Men's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne led wire-to-wire in an 83-59 men's basketball victory over Southern Indiana on Tuesday (Dec. 20). It is the Mastodons' fifth-straight win.
The game was part of the Indiana Classic with IUPUI defeating Texas A&M-Commerce prior the Mastodon contest. The 'Dons were the only team to finish the Indiana Classic 2-0.
The 'Dons led 44-25 at half after making 10-of-20 from long range in the first 20 minutes. The 'Dons closed the half with an exclamation point on a buzzer beater alley oop. Anthony Roberts slammed it home on the pass from Jarred Godfrey with the 'Dons in transition and the clock winding down. It is Roberts' second alley oop buzzer beater of the season. Against Bluffton to close the half it was Roberts finishing on a lob from Damian Chong Qui.
Roberts' dunk on Tuesday capped a 26-9 run for the 'Dons to close the half over the final 8:21. The Mastodons forced five turnovers while committing zero in the stretch. Godfrey had 11 points in the game clinching push.
Godfrey finished with 21 points in the contest while adding five assists. He connected on a season-high five 3-pointers. He moved into fifth place in program history in made 3-pointers in the contest. He now owns 214 hoops from long range as a Mastodon.
Quinton Morton-Robertson added 16 points with four 3-pointers. Chong Qui was also in double-digits with 13 points.
The 'Dons committed a season-low seven turnovers in the contest. The 'Dons shot 49.1 percent (28-of-57) from long range with 14 3-pointers, their most treys against a Division I team this season.
USI was limited to 35.5 percent (22-of-62) from the floor. Isaiah Swope had 17 for the Screaming Eagles.
It is the Mastodons' first win over Division I newcomer Southern Indiana since 1993 and snapped a 16-game losing streak against the Screaming Eagles. Granted the two teams hadn't played since 2001, the Mastodons' final season in Division II. But how long had it been since a Mastodon team defeated Southern Indiana? Mastodon head coach Jon Coffman was a freshman at Washington & Lee in 1993.
The 'Dons are now 9-4. USI is 7-6. The 'Dons are done with non-league play and will return after Christmas with Horizon League action. First up is a trip east to Robert Morris (Dec. 29) and Youngstown State (Dec. 31).
