Typo (can’t score 15 from FT on 8 attempts!):

They did it by outscoring EIU 20-15 at the free-throw line. They went 20-for-27, while EIU went just 5-of-8.

I have concerns about Leach as the everyday lead guard in conference play, but he sure showed his mettle when the game was on the line. That is a great thing to have on your team.
