EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -Shy Ely scored 18 points, including a key 3-pointer in the second half, as Evansville surged to a 64-56 victory over Wichita State in the Missouri Valley Conference on Wednesday night.
The Purple Aces (7-15, 2-10 MVC) trailed 31-20 at the break, but went on a 24-13 run capped by a Jason Holsinger 3-pointer to tie the score at 44-44 with 9:28 left.
Evansville took a 4-point lead on free throws before Ely nailed a 3-pointer to stretch the lead to seven. A pair of layups by Nate Garner and a 3-pointer by Holsinger made the margin 14, and the Shockers got no closer than six the rest of the way.
Holsinger finished with 14 points and four assists.
