FORT WAYNE 116, SPRINGFIELD 97: (Fort Wayne, Ind.) - Another game. Another victory. That's been the trend this season for Fort Wayne, as they jumped to a double-digit lead over Springfield tonight and never looked back; coasting to their sixth consecutive win tonight and clinching the North Division title. With the victory, Fort Wayne is assured at least one of the top two seeds for the 2016 playoffs. Fort Wayne (6-0) was led by Antonio Cannon (29 points), Greg Foster (24 points), and Corey Wickware (20 points). Springfield (2-3), who lost their third consecutive game, was led by Clavontae Brown (29 points) and Michael Chandler-Dorsey (22 points). Fort Wayne travels to Peoria next weekend, while Springfield concludes their two-game road trip at Columbus tomorrow afternoon. 

INDIANAPOLIS 93, PEORIA 91: (Peoria, Ill.) - Early on, it appeared Peoria would stun the league with their second consecutive upset of an opponent at home, leading by as many as 12 points for the first two and a half quarters. But Indianapolis used a 36-16 run from the second half of the third quarter to the first few minutes of the final period to wrestle the momentum back from the hosts. It was at this point the game became nerve-wracking for both sides, as the game featured five ties and six lead changes in the final five minutes, ultimately concluding with Indianapolis scoring the final basket with seconds left on the clock. Indianapolis (2-3) was led by Anthony White (28 points) and Dion Smith (21 points). Peoria (1-5) was led by Ryan Stadel (23 points) and Jason Angel (18 points). Both teams face each other next week, but in Indianapolis. 

BOWLING GREEN 104, MEMPHIS 92: (Russellville, Ky.) - After a close affair between the two teams in the first half, Bowling Green erupted to a 20-point lead in the third quarter, and holding the double-digit lead for the remainder of the game as they earned their third victory of the season. Bowling Green (3-1) was led by Fred Sturdivant, Quincy Scates, and Freeman Pinkney, who all had 15 points each. Memphis (1-2) was led by Tavin Cummings with 33 points and Keith Barron with 17 points. Bowling Green travels to Nashville tomorrow for a battle for first place, while Memphis hosts Mississippi for a second consecutive home game.
