Colt Ryan led the Purple Aces (2-1) with 15 points. Pieter van Tongeren had 10 points and six rebounds.
Indiana spent most of the first half shooting around 70 percent but wasn't able to get separation because of turnovers, fouls and Evansville's rebounding edge. The Aces hit 11 of 16 free throws in the first half and led 31-25 at intermission.
