QUINCY, Ill. – The No. 20 UIndy men's basketball team (4-1, 0-1) dropped its first game of the season on Saturday, as the host Quincy Hawks (3-3, 1-0 GLVC) stifled a late visitor run to win, 62-57.
 
Jesse Bingham and Josiah Tynes each finished with 15 points, while Kendrick Tchoua record eight points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Following a quick eight-point outburst with Jakobie Robinson joining Bingham with a triple in the opening two minutes, the Hawks slowly cut away into the early Greyhound lead. A 9-0 run from Quincy made it 27-22 with under four minutes left in the first half before Bruno Williams drilled his lone 3-pointer of the afternoon.
 
Tynes knotted the game at 30 apiece just before the break, but – as Quincy did throughout  the entire contest – Solomon Gustafson answered with a driving layup to give the hosts a two-point advantage heading into the locker room.
 
Once Tynes sunk a triple after the first media timeout of the second half, the Hawks gained control for good. The teams traded runs down the stretch, as Quincy built a 58-47 run with under seven minutes left. Robinson netted two from the charity stripe to inch the Greyhounds to a three-point deficit, however, the Hawks continued to make stops in the final three minutes to seal the win.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- Tynes' 15 points marks a season-high for the third-year Greyhound and just one shy off a career-best performance from last winter.
- Quincy fought its way to the free throw line at a higher pace, outshooting UIndy 17 to seven from the charity stripe.
- Nearly half of the Greyhounds' field goal attempts came from beyond the arc, launching 30 of the team's 62 shots from 3-point land.
- The Hawks led the scoring from inside the paint, 26-20, with UIndy's David Ejah and Tchoua combining for 14.
 
MORE NOTES
Quincy has now won three of the teams' last four meetings … the Greyhounds now lead the all-time series, 23-15 … Bingham has recorded double-digit points in all five of UIndy games this season … Tchoua has secured at least eight rebounds in each of the past three contests.
 
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will look to get back in the win column on Monday night, as they head to Kirksville, Mo., for an 8:30 p.m. ET tip with Truman. The Bulldogs dropped their conference opener to McKendree on Saturday, 73-68, and have now lost three straight games.
