He notched his sixth career double-double and second this season with 34 points and 17 rebounds at Lewis on Jan. 15.

With 1,081 career points, Adams is the 35th 1,000-point scorer in UIndy history. He also has 97 career steals, which is 10th in school history.

Light the Lamp:  UIndy is sixth in the country with 85.9 points per game after surpassing 100 points in four of its first seven games for the first time since the 1988-89 season. The last time UIndy scored 100 points or more in at least four games in a season was the 2004-05 campaign, which was UIndy's last trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Moss had 10 assists against Missouri S&T  and is one of only four GLVC players with 10 assists in a game this season.

The Squire Did It:  Squires' experience as one of only four returning players has been invaluable as he is second on the team with 4.0 rebounds per game, while adding 8.6 points per game. Squires started the first 21 games of the year and 22-of-24.

Better Late Than Never:  After missing the first three games of the season, O'Neal has been an impact performer with 13.4 points (17th GLVC) and 4.6 rebounds per game, while shooting 68.2 percent (3rd nationally). He is 15th in the conference with 1.95 offensive rebounds per game.

Double Duty:  Junior Paul Corsaro is continuing his two-sport career in 2010-11.

More than an Exhibition:  While the exhibition victory over nationally-ranked Tennessee didn't count in the standings, UIndy's victory made quite an impact. Gouard appeared on ESPN First Take on ESPN2 on Nov. 9, a mere 12 hours after the victory, and was also on Fox 59, 1070 The Fan and SportsRadio 1260. Adams, Moss and senior forward Nate Blank were all on Fox 59 and Blank also appeared on 1070 The Fan.
