TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Seniors David Kyles and Toure' Murry each scored 16 points to lead Wichita State and earn a 75-65 win over Indiana State Sunday at the Hulman Center.

An Odum lay-up at the 11:01 mark knotted the score at 15 before the Shockers went on a 7-0 run to take a 22-15 lead just two minute later. Jake Odum hit 1-of-2 free throws with 2:23 on the clock as ISU trailed just 28-26, but the Shockers scored the final eight points of the first half to go into the break with a 36-26 lead.

The Sycamores would battle the Shockers tough in the second half as they used a 5-0 spurt five minutes into the second half and Odum hit a pair of free throws with 14:36 to go which left ISU down just 44-40.
