Wabash ended Illinois Institute of Technology's 15-game home winning streak Wednesday night with a 66-61 victory in Chicago Wednesday night.
 
Illinois Tech (9-4) finished 11-0 at the Keating Sports Center last season and won its first four home games in the 2017-18 campaign prior to the five-point loss to Wabash (6-6).
 
The Little Giants outrebounded the host Scarlet Hawks 37-29 and outscored the Illinois Tech bench 19-0 for the win.
 
Wabash led by as many as nine points before IIT tied the game at 43-43 with 14:29 remaining in the game. Jack Davidson started a 5-0 run for the Little Giants with a drive into the lane for two of his 15 points. After a Scarlet Hawks turnover, Connor Rotterman drained a three-point shot to put Wabash in front 48-43. Rotterman scored a team-high 17 points coming off the bench for the Little Giants, hitting 7-of-12 shots from the field including both three-point attempts.
 
Illinois Tech stayed within striking distance, cutting the Wabash lead to one point at 62-61 with 1:37 remaining in the contest. Harrison Hallstrom corralled a missed jumper by Rotterman and hit the put-back attempt for a three-point advantage with one minute left to play.
 
A Wabash foul sent Illinois Tech to the free throw line on the next possession, but the Scarlet Hawks missed both attempts. The Little Giants snared the rebound after the second miss and worked the clock down to 15 seconds, but a turnover gave the ball back to Illinois Tech.
 
The Scarlet Hawks gave the basketball to leading scorer Anthony Mosley Jr. trailing by three. Mosley, who finished with a game-high 23 points, got free for a three-point attempt in closing seconds in an effort to tie the game, but his shot fell off the left side of the rim and into the hands of Alex Eberhard. The sophomore stepped to the free throw line with three seconds showing on the game clock and calmly sank both attempts to provide the final five-point win for Wabash.
 
Eberhard finished 5-of-7 from the field including a 2-for-2 performance from three-point range and 4-for-4 from the free throw line for 16 points. He added a team-high eight rebounds.
 
Wabash made the most of 10 Illinois Tech turnovers, converting the miscues into 17 offensive points. The Little Giants gave away 11 turnovers leading to seven points for the Scarlet Hawks.
 
Davidson joined Rotterman and Eberhard in double-figure scoring with 15 points. He scored 13 points in the second half after missing most of the first period due to foul trouble.
 
Wabash returns to the North Coast Athletic Conference portion of its schedule Saturday when Oberlin travels to Chadwick Court for a 3 p.m. contest.
