Nassau, The Bahamas —
Indiana State got its trip to the Bahamas off on a winning note Sunday night, defeating the Giants — a professional team from there — by a 95-76 score.
Junior transfer Manny Arop led the Sycamores with 17 points, including four 3-pointers. One of his treys closed out the first half to give ISU a 45-29 lead, and he added 12 more points in the third quarter.
R.J. Mahurin added 16 points for the winners, while Brandon Burnett added 13 and Devonte Brown and Justin Gant had 10 each.
ISU shot 44 percent from the field (37 for 85) and hit 7 of 20 3-point attempts. The Sycamores were also whistled for 32 fouls, sending the Giants to the line 46 times.
ISU plays the Real Deal Shockers at 7:30 p.m. today.

Sliders’ frustration against Rex continues
The Springfield Sliders probably curse the departure of the Dubois County Bombers from the Prospect League more than most.
What do the Bombers, who now ply their trade in the Ohio Valley League, have to do with the Sliders, or for that matter, the Terre Haute Rex?
When the Bombers left the Prospect League it created a situation where the Prospect League’s West Division teams — the Rex and Sliders both being members — had one less opponent to play in intradivision play.

Super Bowl champion gives back to kids
If they were quiet, several dozen youngsters were promised Friday, they could pass around a real Super Bowl ring after its owner was finished speaking to them.
The response was near silence, and before long Steve Weatherford’s treasured jewelry was circulating throughout the cafeteria at Terre Haute North High School.
It’s hard to imagine, however, what kind of din would have prompted Weatherford to leave the ring on his finger, because he could relate to the most impish of his listeners. -

Rex looking to return to pitching dominance Sunday against Springfield
During a 7-1 start and franchise-best seven-game winning streak, Terre Haute Rex pitching was the catalyst. Through eight games, the Rex led the Prospect League with an earned-run average of 1.11.

FROM THE PRESS BOX: Close, but no cigar, theme for ISU sports in 2012-13
When I covered my first event of Indiana State’s 2012-13 season — ISU’s opening football game at Indiana — I was the first one in the press box at IU’s Memorial Stadium. I’m never the first one in the press box.
Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.) -
