LIBERTY, Mo. – The UIndy men's basketball (17-5, 9-5 GLVC) team capped a perfect weekend on Saturday with a dominating 92-63 victory at William Jewell (9-13, 4-10 GLVC).
 
Senior Marcus Latham once again dominated off the bench with a game-high 23 points, while Jacob Polakovich chipped in nine tallies and nine boards in 17 minutes of action.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
A Polakovich layup two minutes into play gave the Greyhounds a lead they would ultimately not relinquish. After his opening-possession 3-pointer, Jordache Mavunga was relatively quiet until he gave UIndy its biggest lead of the half with 4:51 remaining with a pair of free throws.
