MIDWAY, Ky. - The IU Kokomo Men's Basketball team earned their third-straight win Saturday afternoon in Kentucky, taking down Midway on their home floor 92-83. With the victory, the Cougars improved to 16-8 on the year and 7-5 in River States Conference play.

Despite a limited bench, IU Kokomo turned in one of their best offensive performances of the season, scoring early and often. Evan Kretz's second triple of the game came just over five minutes in, giving the Cougars a 16-9 lead.

After Midway's Nick Keeton converted an old-fashioned three point play to trim Midway's deficit to four, the Cougars responded with a quick 8-0 spurt to lead by 12 at 35-23. IUK led 50-39 at the half.

The Cougars opened the second half in an impressive manner, extending the lead to 20 with 16:24 remaining in the game. The IU Kokomo lead remained double-digits until the 6:52 mark, as a triple from the Eagles cut the lead to nine.

The Eagles managed to pull as close as four on two separate occasions, yet the Cougars closed out a 92-83 road win to remain in second place in the RSC West with four games remaining.

Evan Kretz, Max Newman, and Noah Harris accounted for 81% of IU Kokomo's points, scoring 75 of the Cougars 92 points. Kretz poured in a game-high 26 points on 6-11 shooting from beyond-the-arc.

Newman went 11-13 at the charity stripe to finish with 25 points and eight rebounds, while Noah Harris recorded a double-double of 24 points and 11 boards.

The Cougars are back on the road Tuesday, as they will head south to battle the Mighty Oaks of Oakland City. Tipoff is set for 6:30 PM ET.
