ON TAP
The Greyhounds return to the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row and eighth time in school history this weekend. UIndy is the No. 6 seed and will play No. 3 seed Bellarmine on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on the campus of Drury at the O'Reilly Family Event Center. The Greyhounds are on the same half of the bracket as No. 2 Southern Indiana and No. 7 Wayne State. The regional this year features three teams from the GLIAC and five from the GLVC.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
UIndy is making its eighth NCAA Tournament appearance and third in a row. The Greyhounds are 2-7 all-time after defeating three-seed Hillsdale, 66-62, as the sixth seed in last year's tournament in Louisville, Ky.

2012 NCAA TOURNAMENT
Reece Cheatham led the Greyhounds with 17.5 ppg and 4.5 rpg in a pair of games last season in Louisville, while Leland Brown added 11.5 ppg on 9-of-14 shooting (.643). The Hounds shot 45.4 percent from the field, but only 11-of-38 (.289) behind the arc.

GLVC TOURNEY RECAP
The Greyhounds tied or broke four school tournament records in the first round win against Missouri-St. Louis. The team's 26 made free throws were not just a 2012-13 season-high, but the most ever made in the GLVC Tourney. The team's 45 rebounds was second-highest this season and another tourney record. Brennan McElroy's 12 rebounds is a new high, while Tyrae Robinson tied the record with seven made free throws.

UIndy came back to take on top-seed Drury in the quarterfinals at the Ford Center in Evansville. The Greyhounds trailed by 19 with 12:41 to play, but fought back to make it a one-point game with 53 seconds to go before Drury hung on. Robinson tied his career high with 24 points and broke the record for made free throws hitting 11-of-15.

ALL-CONFERENCE
Reece Cheatham and James Hollowell were both named All-GLVC Second Team, while Daniel Daudu and Tyrae Robinson were selected to the GLVC All-Defensive Team. It is the first conference honor for all four players.

20 WINS, AGAIN
For the second season in a row and 10th time in school history, men's basketball reached the 20-win plateau. This is the first time for back-to-back 20-win campaigns since the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons.

HOT STREAK
UIndy is averaging 79.2 ppg in its last four games entering the NCAA Tournament, led by Cheatham with 15.3 ppg and 6.0 rpg, while Robinson adds 14.8 ppg on 53.8 percent shooting. Brown adds 11 ppg and Hollowell chips in 10.3 ppg and 6.3 rpg.

BALANCE
The Greyhounds have three double-figure scorers and 10 total players have scored 10 or more in a game. UIndy's balance has them shooting 48.9 percent from the field, which is 17th in D-II.
