On tap:  UIndy will take its two-game winning streak into the brand new Bank of Kentucky Center Saturday for a date with the No. 7 Northern Kentucky Norse.  The Norse, currently leading the GLVC East, are winners of seven straight heading into the week's action and are 9-2 in league play.  NKU won the earlier meeting this season, a 76-61 decision at Nicoson Hall on Dec. 4.

About NKU:  The Norse have ascended to No. 7 in the latest National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Coaches Poll (Feb. 3).  NKU takes care of the basketball well, appearing fourth in all of Division II in turnovers per game (11.5).  The Norse are led by Dustin Maguire's 15.7 points per game output followed by 12.1 per contest from Leslie Malone.  Maguire's .911 free throw percentage ranks second in the country, tops in the league. 

Last Meeting:  Then No. 20-ranked NKU bested UIndy, 76-61 at Nicoson Hall Dec. 4.  The visiting Norse used two long scoring runs-- one in each half-- to distance itself from the host Greyhounds.  NKU went on a 18-2 run to take an early 22-7 lead then scored 17 straight points midway through the second half to erase a seven-point UIndy lead.  Keith Radcliff led all scorers with 17 points and four different NKU players were in double figures.

UIndy Head Coach Stan Gouard:  Stan Gouard is in his first season as the head man at Indianapolis.  Gouard was introduced as the new head of the Greyhound program on Apr. 3, 2008.  He previously spent three years as an assistant coach at Indiana State following his three-year stint as an assistant at UIndy.  While at Indianapolis, Gouard was part of the staff that helped the Hounds to a 47-31 record, advancing to the NCAA tournament all three seasons.

Milestone Watch:  Several Greyhounds are pursuing personal milestones in the coming weeks, here is a look at some of the marks that are within reach:

Braxton Mills- 561 career rebounds, Curr 18th, needs 15 to crack top 15
Braxton Mills- 96 career blocks, Needs 20 to become UIndy leader
Tyke Cockerham- 184 career assists, Needs 18 to crack UIndy top 20
Keith Radcliff- 93 career 3FG, Curr. 14th, needs 7 to reach 100

Super Sub:  Tristan Rogers came off the bench to aid UIndy to a pair of wins last week, just missing out of double-doubles in both games.  In the win at Wisconsin-Parkside, Rogers posted 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds.  He followed that with a nine-point, 10-rebound effort vs. Saint Joseph's on Saturday.  For the week, Rogers averaged 25.5 minutes, made 8-of-12 from the floor, connected on both triple tries and was a perfect 4-4 from the free throw line.  The senior sub also added  three assists and a block to his totals last week.

Double Mills:  Braxton Mills etched his seventh career double-double in Saturday's win vs. Saint Joseph's. The senior scored 15 points and added a game-high 12 rebounds in the win, giving him his first double-double since his sophomore season (2/24/07 vs. NKU).  Of his seven career double-double performances, two have come against UIndy's opponent next week, Lewis University (2/16/06 & 2/1/07).

Playing 21:  Keith Radcliff's FT streak has reached 21 straight after he went 3-for-3 last week at the charity stripe.  The stretch is the longest consecutive make streak of his career and longest by a Greyhound since last year's impressive run of 37 straight by DeAndre Brock.
