After the loss, IU South Bend drops to 17-8 overall, 11-6 in league play and 7-6 on the road during the 2019-20 campaign.

Senior transfer Kourtlandt Martin dropped a team-high 15 points while junior guard Dylan Allen added 14, respectively. Sophomore Donyell Meredith II and junior Norell Smith were the final Titans in double figures, scoring 11 an 10 apiece. Martin and Norell each grabbed a team-high five rebounds while Martin added a game-high three assists.

Shooting woes plagued the Titans as IUSB converted 41 percent of its shot attempts while the Fighting Bees hit 30 of its 50 attempts (60 percent) from the floor and nearly missed from three-point land as SAU shot 67.9 percent. The Bees held the advantage in rebounds, 31-26, assists, 20-11 and turned 11 IUSB miscues into 13 points.

Saint Ambrose led wire-to-wire, holding the Titans to just 16 points halfway through the first half. After trailing by as may as 19 with 3:50 on the clock, IU South Bend cut the deficit to 11 before heading into the locker room down 55-41.

The Bees held momentum in the final stanza with help of 13-of-26 shooting and proved to be too much for the Titans, snapping their longest winning streak of the season.

The Titans remain on the road, travelling to Roosevelt University on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Tipoff is slated for 8:30 p.m. (EST) in Chicago, Ill.
