HAUTE, IN - (2-12-2003) — A five-foot jumper
in the paint by freshman David Moss with 3.1 seconds left rallied Indiana State
to a 63-62 Missouri Valley Conference victory past Drake Wednesday night.
Drake had an opportunity to extend a 62-61 lead but senior forward J.J. Sola missed the front end of a bonus free throw situation giving the Sycamores an opportunity to win the game.
Following Moss' game winning basket, an inbounds pass from Sola went off the hand of Drake center Greg Danielson at midcourt with 1.5 seconds remaining.
Moss and freshman reserve center Ted Morris combined for 25 of Indiana State's 27 points in the second half. Moss scored 13 of his game-high 25 points in the second half, while Morris had 15 points in the final period.
