Mattoon, IL – No. 11 Indian Hills Men's Basketball knocked off No. 2 John A. Logan College in a thrilling matchup at the Lake Land Classic, 76-74 Tuesday night. The Warriors improve to 6-2 with their second win over a ranked opponent this season.

Indian Hills responded with a 19-0 run of its own to regain the lead. Two of the top teams in the nation put on a show the rest of the way and with the score tied at 74 all, J'Vonne Hadley (St. Paul, MN/Northeastern) drove the lane and converted the eventual game-winner. A defensive stand in the final seconds lifted the Warriors to its biggest win of the season.
