Allen dropped a season-high 18 points to fuel the Titans to their second straight win as IUSB moved to 19-8 overall and 13-6 during league play. The 19th victory also ties for the most wins in a single season while Cooper is at the helm. IUSB went 19-14 overall back during the 2015-16 season. The junior guard's five rebounds and seven assists also ties a season-high for a stat-stuffing performance.

Five other Titans scored in double figures Saturday, sophomore Donyell Meredith II came off the bench to add 13 while both Miles Tracy and Kourtlandt Martin notched 12 apiece. Junior Norell Smith and senior Myles Simmons added 10 each to finish the balanced offense.

Indiana University South Bend won the rebounding battle, 41-33, led by eight boards from Meredith. The edge on the glass saw the Titans outscore the Eagles 13-7 in second chance points, while also owning a 40-11 advantage in bench points. IUSB turned JU over 21 times and scored 29 points off miscues.

Offensively, the Titans shot 56.7 percent from the floor, going 38-for-67, while Judson finished 20-of-60. IUSB converted 12 three-points to JU's three, and knocked down 9-of-11 free throw attempts.

The Titans begin the game in control, outscoring the Eagles 11-0 in the first 2:45 of the game en route to 16-point advantage going into the break. Junior Sergio Diaz hit a dagger three as the first half came to a close.

IUSB continued its momentum in the second 20 minutes of play, adding 55 points that highlighted an impressive 7-for-11 from behind the arc. The Titans led by as many as 49 that gave them their 11th victory at home this season.
