OAKLAND CITY, Ind. – Despite a historic performance from sophomore Owen Law, IU Columbus came up short against Oakland City, falling 123-109 on Tuesday night at the Johnson Center.

Law etched his name into the IU Columbus record books, scoring a career-high and program-record 36 points on an efficient 14-of-19 shooting, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. He also recorded a double-double, pulling down 12 rebounds, while adding four assists and three steals in a dominant individual effort.

The Crimson Pride (1-22, 0-11 RSC) showed resilience throughout the game, especially in the second half, outscoring the Mighty Oaks 65-60 after a slow start. Trailing by 19 at halftime, IU Columbus found its rhythm offensively, fueled by Bobby Wonnell's sharpshooting off the bench. Wonnell poured in 24 points, hitting 5-of-8 from three-point range, while Damontae Thompson added 17 points and seven assists.

IUC shot an impressive 56% from the field and 46.4% from deep, but Oakland City's size and rebounding proved too much to overcome. The Mighty Oaks held a 46-31 edge on the glass, creating second-chance opportunities that kept them in control.
