Box score

UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich.-  Junior Larry Woods scored 18 of his game-high 26 points in the second half to help the Greyhounds to a 79-75 win over Saginaw Valley State at James O'Neill Ryder Center Monday night.  Woods was 11-for-16 from the floor in the win, giving the Hounds their second consecutive win.

Rogers helped the Hounds build a 21-15 lead in the first half, hitting a transition three-pointer off a Devin Williams blocked shot on the other end.  SVSU (1-7) would rally after that bucket, scoring the next 11 points, the final two coming on a dunk to put the Cards up 26-21 and forcing a Greyhound timeout.

Out of the stoppage, UIndy (4-6) went on a 10-0 run of its own, with Rogers scoring on back-to-back possessions.  He started with a long triple then followed with another three-point play, this time on a bucket underneath as he was fouled, adding the free throw to reclaim the lead for Indianapolis.

SVSU would wrestle the lead back and watch it grow to as many as six before the end of the half.  The home team carried a 41-38 lead into the halftime locker room.  In the opening 20 minutes, Rogers registered 18 points to lead all scorers on 6-of-8 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-4 from deep.

In the second half, the Cards recovered from six straight Greyhound points to open the period and eventually rebuilt their six-point advantage at 58-52.  Woods baskets book-ended a Williams three to put UIndy back on top, 59-58 midway through the half.

With the score retied at 63 apiece, UIndy retook the lead when Tyke Cockerham drove the lane, made the basket and was fouled, converting the free throw for a three-point Greyhound margin with just over seven minutes left. The Hounds remained in control until 1:10 appeared on the clock when SVSU's Greg Foster hit a layup to give the home team a 75-74 lead as the lead changed hands seven times in the second half alone.

Keith Radcliff closed the game out in the win column for UIndy, however, making a layup then hitting 3-of-4 free throws in the final minute to give the Hounds their second win in a row, 79-75.

Three different Greyhounds hit double digits in points, led by 26 from Woods, 20 by Rogers and 11 from Radcliff. Cockerham added six points, five assists and five steals to the winning effort.

UIndy will look to remain on a roll, hosting Temple Baptist on Dec. 30 at Nicoson Hall.  Game time is set for 7:00 p.m.

Notes: Radcliff failed to make a three-pointer for the first time in a game this season ... Four different players have scored at least 20 points in a game this season (Radcliff, Sergey Struck, Woods and Rogers).
