LINCOLN, Ill. – Miles Tracy recorded his first double-double of the year, leading No. 22 IU South Bend to a third-straight road win, defeating Lincoln 82-49 on Saturday. 

Tracy scored a game-high 23 points, matching his career best while pulling down 10 rebounds. The junior went 11-for-15 from the floor, and dealt out five assists in the win. Five players in all finished in double figures for the Titans (15-3, 11-1 CCAC). Sergio Diaz knocked down four three-pointers, scoring 14 of his 16 points in the first half. 

Dylan Allen scored 14 points, moving to fifth on IUSB’s all-time scoring list, with 1,453 career points. Sam Snodgrass and Micah Poole scored 11 and 10 points off the bench, respectively. 

The Titans would lead from wire-to-wire, opening with a three from Tracy, and followed with 11 straight points from Diaz as IUSB went up 16-4 by the 13:52 mark. Lincoln () would briefly close the gap to six, but IUSB went on another run, out-scoring the Lynx 16-2 over a six-minute stretch to lead 41-20 with two and a half minutes left in the first half. 

IU South Bend used another long rally at the start of the second half, holding Lincoln to just one field goal for nearly seven minutes after the break. Allen’s three-pointer at the 12:40 mark pushed the Titan lead to 59-31, and the Titans would take their largest lead of the night near the five-minute mark, with a three from Dane Simatovich to go up 79-40. 

The win marks the fourth straight for IU South Bend, and their 12th in the last 13 games. IUSB returns to the Student Activities Center on Monday, January 24, to host Trinity Christian. Tipoff with the Trolls is set for 7:30 p.m.
