LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The UIndy men's basketball team (2-0) picked up another in-region win on Saturday afternoon, using a big second half to down Northwood by a score of 72-66.
 
Trevor Lakes finished with 22 points and eight rebounds to lead the Greyhounds, while Jordache Mavunga and Jacob Polakovich matched their teammate on the boards.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
King nailed a deep 3-ball out of the under-8 timeout to give UIndy a 59-57 advantage late in the second half. After Northwood matched the next two possessions, Miller Jr. sunk a pair of free throws to spark a short 6-0 run with three minutes left.
 
The Timberwolves offense went cold, forcing the Greyhounds to the charity stripe. UIndy improved on its effort from the line on Friday night, however, and drilled seven of eight to seal the victory. As a team, the Greyhounds went 22 for 28 from the free-throw line.
 
UIndy came out strong in the first half, with King finding Polakovich for a slam to open the scoring. King was forced to the bench after tallying his second foul of the day with 15:20 left on the clock, but the senior finished with 26 minutes. Northwood led by six at halftime, before UIndy outscored the Timberwolves by 10 after the break.
