By The Associated Press
VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) --- Brody Whitaker hit the winning jumper with seven
seconds left and finished with 21 points to lead Valparaiso past Indiana State
76-75 on Sunday.
Whitaker grabbed an offensive rebound --- Valparaiso's third of the possession
--- as he stepped into a jumper from the free-throw line to give the Beacons
the lead for good.
Xavier Hall missed a potential winning short jumper in the closing seconds and
Enel St. Bernard's put-back attempt before the buzzer was no good.
Whitaker went 8 of 14 from the field (5 for 8 from 3-point range) for the
Beacons (14-13, 8-8 Missouri Valley Conference). JT Pettigrew had 14 points,
eight rebounds and six assists while shooting 5 of 12 from the field and 4 for
5 from the free-throw line. Owen Dease shot 4 of 9 from the field, including 1
for 4 from 3-point range, and went 4 for 5 from the foul line to finish with 13
points.
Sterling Young finished with 16 points for the Sycamores (10-17, 3-13). Xavier
Hall added 14 points and five assists for Indiana State. Ian Scott finished
with 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
Dease put up 13 points in the first half for Valparaiso, which led 49-43 at the
break. Whitaker scored 13 second-half points for Valparaiso to help set up
their game-winning shot.
