ST. CHARLES, MO – In their final match up against Lindenwood University, the UIndy men's basketball team was victorious, grinding out a 75-72 win over the Lions.  The win puts the Hounds at 16-9 overall and 10-7 in GLVC play with one regular season game remaining.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The two teams traded the lead five times in the first five minutes of play.  Trailing by one Jesse Bingham went two-for-two at the charity stripe to put the Hounds on top by one.  Back-to-back lay ups from Cory Miller Jr. put UIndy ahead for good.  Bingham later drained a jump shot on two straight possessions to give the Hounds a 40-28 lead at the break.
