Moberly, MO – No. 16 Indian Hills Men's Basketball stormed past No. 17 Moberly Area Community College (MO) Tuesday night to secure a key top-20 road win with an 81-79 victory at the Fitzsimmons-John Arena. The Warriors move to 19-5 overall on the year.

Indian Hills picked up its second one-possession victory of the year over the Greyhounds after a block from Chris Mpaka (Kinsasha, Congo/Frank Phillips) in the closing seconds sealed the win on the road. The Warriors, who knocked off then-No. 20 Moberly Area 75-72 at the Hellyer Center back on November 11, have now won six consecutive games at Moberly Area are now 16-4 in the team's last 20 matchups with the Greyhounds.

Sophomore Davontae Hall (Chicago, IL/Hyde Park) poured in a career-high 21 points for the Warriors after going 9-10 at the free throw line while connecting on four three-point shots. Fellow sophomore Trevion LaBeaux (Waterloo, IA/Ames) added 18 points while TJ Morris (Queens, NY/Northeastern Oklahoma A&M) and Kheni Briggs (Kannapolis, NC/Charleston Southern) chipped in 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Trailing for a majority of the first half, the Warriors battled back in the closing minutes of the opening frame as Briggs and freshman William Buegre-Kassi (Pontoise, France/Albert Thomas) connected on corner three-point shots in the closing 90 seconds to tie the game at 39-all heading into halftime.

The two Blue Blood junior college programs exchanged blows throughout the early portions of the second half as neither side allowed their counterparts to pull away. A quick spurt from the Warriors give Indian Hills a 67-61 lead, its largest of the night with under six to play. The Greyhounds surged back to regain the lead, only to see the contest deadlocked at 75 with less than 1:30 to play.

Briggs, who connected on a pair of three-point shots earlier in the night, converted a contested three with 43 seconds remaining in front of the Warrior bench to put Indian Hills back on top. Indian Hills connected on a trio of free throws in the closing seconds, including two from Hall before Mpaka made the biggest play of the night, blocking a Greyhound runner in the lane to clinch the victory.

Tuesday's game was the eighth top-25 matchup of the year for the Warriors.

The Warriors return to action Thursday night at the Hellyer Center for a 7:00 PM matchup against North Central Missouri College.
