INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men's basketball team (5-8, 5-8 GLVC) upped its win streak Saturday afternoon, taking down the visiting Quincy Hawks in Nicoson Hall, 86-78. Seniors Cory Miller Jr. and Dee Montgomery combined for 41 points to help the Greyhounds earn their fourth consecutive victory.

INS & OUTS
The Hounds started red hot, sinking 15 of their first 20 field goal attempts to push the lead as high as 18 points in the first, but the Hawks closed the half with a 19-6 surge to cut it to five at the break.
 
The second half turned out to be a battle, with Quincy slowly creeping back to within three points, 66-63, with 7:18 to go, but Montgomery made back-to-back big plays to take back the momentum. Immediately after draining a deep 3, the Horn Lake, Miss., native  earned a steal and finished the break-away with a one-handed flush to regain some breathing room.
 
UIndy used a pair of and-1s down the stretch to help seal it, with sophomore Kendrick Tchoua and redshirt-freshman Jesse Bingham each completing a conventional three-point play late in the game.

INSIDE THE BOX
-After grinding through an uncommonly lowest-scoring game two days ago, the Hounds racked up season highs in points (86) and FG percentage (.588) tonight.
-UIndy made more than twice as many free throws than the Hawks attempted, finishing an uber-efficient 19 for 23 (.826) from the line.
-Tchoua was a perfect 7 for 7 from the field on the way to 15 points, Bingham added 14 points and two steals, while Montgomery amassed team bests in rebounds (9) and assists (5), with the former good for a career high.
-Senior Mikail Simmons nailed two 3-pointers and scored eight points, all in a 50-point first half for the Hounds.
