(AP) -- James Haarsma had 12 points and eight
rebounds to help Evansville stun No. 25 Northern Iowa 55-54 .
Evansville had lost 17 of 18 before pulling off one of the
biggest upsets of the college basketball season. It was the final
home game of the season for the Purple Aces, and just 4,716 showed
up to watch them beat a ranked team for the first time since 2003.
Kavon Lacey scored 11 points and Colt Ryan added 10 for
Evansville (8-20, 2-15 Missouri Valley).
Jake Koch scored 22 points and Adam Koch added 14 for Northern
Iowa (24-4, 14-3), which had already clinched the conference title
outright and was merely trying to avoid a slip-up. The Panthers
were without 7-foot center Jordan Eglseder, who served the last
game of a three-game suspension after being arrested and charged
with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
