History was made in Lebanon Thursday as two coaches with more than 2,000 combined wins met for the first time in men's college basketball history. Sure it wasn't the first actual meeting between William Jewell's Larry Holley and McKendree's Harry Statham, but no two coaches with more than 2,000 wins had ever met on the court. Jewell's 84-78 win marked Holley's 902nd career win, which ties him with Bob Knight for ninth all-time in coaching victories. Statham leads all coaches with 1,121. The 100th edition of the UIndy-Bellarmine saga proved to be yet again another thriller, as the Greyhounds knocked off No. 5 Bellarmine, 76-68. Devin Dixon scored a team-high 17 points and pulled down six rebounds in the win, the sixth time he has scored double figures this season. In St. Louis, Truman's Jake Velky hit a 30-footer at the buzzer to give the Bulldogs a stunning 75-74 victory over Maryville. Douglas Moore led the Panthers with a season-high 19 points as Drury topped Illinois Springfield, 80-60. In Quincy, 10 total players scored in double figures in the Hawks' 84-81 victory over Missouri S&T, but it was Marcus Hinton's 18 points and 10 rebounds that gave first-year head coach Ryan Hellenthal his third straight GLVC win. Alex Stein netted 20 points to help lead Southern Indiana to a 74-55 victory over UW-Parkside, which gave the Screaming Eagles a 12-0 mark at home this year and extended their home winning streak to 18 games dating back to last year. Elsewhere, freshman Anthony Hughes scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while senior D.J. White came off the bench to add 12 points in UMSL's 79-49 victory over Rockhurst.

Southern Indiana junior forward DayJar Dickson scored a career-high 22 points to lead the Screaming Eagles to an 86-56 victory over McKendree Saturday in Lebanon, Illinois. USI, which has won four-straight and evens its road/neutral record at 5-5, gave head coach Rodney Watson his 200th win, tying him for second all-time in program history. He is tied with Rick Herdes (200-59, 2001-09) and 31 wins behind all-time leader Bruce Pearl (231-46, 1992-2001). Drury broke away from William Jewell in the second half of its GLVC showdown at the O'Reilly Family Event Center and claimed an important 86-67 win on Overflow the O' day in front on 3,178. Freshman center Julius Walker led the way for Drury with career highs in points and rebounds with 17 and eight. Maryville shot 63 percent in the second half and cruised to a 78-59 win over UW-Parkside. Nolan Berry picked up his 11th double-double of the season with 15 points and 17 rebounds to highlight the day. With the victory, the Saints improve to 16-4, their best record after 20 games in program history. Lewis ended the game on an 18-4 run over the final 5:12 to overcome a 13-point deficit for a 76-75 win at Quincy. Adam Pischke scored seven points in the final run including the game-winning three from the top of the key with 10.5 left to give the Flyers their second straight win. Curtis Lewis led five Rockhurst players in double figures with 25 points while adding 10 assists in the Hawks' 94-69 victory at Missouri S&T. Rockhurst outscored the Miners 50-19 in the second half. In No. 5 Bellarmine's 78-56 win over host Missouri-St. Louis Tritons, the Knights followed their worst shooting performance of the year in Thursday's loss at Indianapolis with their best by drilling 33-of-56 shots from the field (58.9 percent). Defensively, Bellarmine notched its season high with 12 steals as they forced 20 Triton turnovers. Illinois Springfield's Eddie Longmeyer posted 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in the Prairie Stars' 64-61 home victory over Indianapolis.
