While the Redbirds are trying to figure out how to end a four-game losing streak, Indiana State has struggled throughout the Missouri Valley Conference season after a strong nonconference showing.
It should be two desperate teams searching for a win when ISU and the Sycamores get together for a 6 p.m. Wednesday tipoff at Hulman Center.
ISU (14-13 overall) has fallen from a first-place tie in the Valley into a tie for fourth at 7-7 with its longest league losing streak in six years. Meanwhile, the Sycamores (13-13) have dropped five of their last seven and sit ninth at 5-9.
