A dominant 25-point outing from Camp Wagner fueled the Indiana State Sycamores to a convincing 79-63 victory over the UIC Flames on Sunday afternoon. The Sycamores established control early and maintained a steady lead throughout the contest at the Hulman Center.

Wagner’s efficient scoring set the tone, but he was not alone in the effort. The Sycamores' offense displayed strong ball movement and balanced scoring, consistently finding answers for any push from the Flames. Defensively, Indiana State applied consistent pressure, disrupting UIC's rhythm and limiting their opportunities for sustained rallies.

While UIC fought to close the gap at several points, Indiana State always had a response, never allowing the lead to become truly threatened. The Sycamores’ ability to execute on both ends of the floor proved too much for the visiting team to overcome.

The win provides a positive momentum boost for Indiana State as they continue their conference schedule. The team’s cohesive performance, led by Wagner’s standout game, underscores their potential when firing on all cylinders. For UIC, the search for consistency on the road continues after falling short against a sharp-shooting Sycamores squad.
