JOHNSTOWN, Pa. \u2014 Indiana (Pa.) caught fire in the second half Wednesday night, using hot perimeter shooting and balanced scoring to defeat Pitt-Johnstown 88-82 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference men’s basketball action.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Hawks were tied 37-37 at halftime before erupting for 51 second-half points. Strong outside shooting and timely defensive stops allowed IUP to build separation late and secure the road conference victory.<\/p>\n

Christian Moore<\/a> led Indiana with 26 points, knocking down seven 3-pointers. Dallis Dillard<\/a> added 18 points along with eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Tyler Grove<\/a> contributed 15 points. Luke Triggs<\/a> added 10 points off the bench as IUP placed four players in double figures.<\/p>\n

Indiana shot efficiently from the field and excelled from beyond the arc, particularly in the second half, helping the Crimson Hawks maintain offensive momentum down the stretch.<\/p>\n

Pitt-Johnstown was led by Baden Forup with 24 points and 10 rebounds, with Adam Bilinsky adding 20 points and Cedric Rault scoring 18, but IUP’s offensive surge proved decisive.<\/p>\n

The win keeps Indiana firmly in the PSAC race as the Crimson Hawks continue to build momentum in conference play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next Game: Slippery Rock 2\/14\/2026 | 3:00 PM Feb. 14 (Sat) \/ 3:00 PM …\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-112079","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-pennsylvania","9":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","10":"tag-pennsylvania-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
