the game by hitting his first six shots, and he finished 6-for-7 in
the first frame. In the second

in which Ronnie Carlwell tossed in four points, including a fast
break dunk. Junior college transfer Lorenzo Gordon finished with 17
points, while Greg Dilligard tossed in 16 to round out the Redbirds'

The game was ISU's lone public

Saturday for a private head-to-head scrimmage and practice session
against the Cardinals before opening the season on Nov. 14 against
Penn State in the first round of the BCA Classic at Milwaukee, Wis.
