A big exhale could be heard when the clock ran out at the end of a men’s basketball game between the University of Illinois Springfield and Missouri S&T on Thursday night.
UIS pulled off an 85-75 win in a Great Lakes Valley Conference game at The Recreation and Athletic Center. It was much-needed victory for the Prairie Stars, who improved to 7-13 overall and 3-9 in the conference.
A back-and-forth first half resulted in a 41-all tie at halftime. That set the stage for a thrilling the second half.
It was tight the whole game with neither UIS nor Missouri S&T (9-11, 4-8) blowing the game open down the stretch.
The win was featured by The State Journal-Register on February 7, 2014.
