ST. LOUIS—The UIndy men's basketball team wrapped up the regular season with a 75-69 loss at Maryville University Saturday evening. The Greyhounds were led by senior
Cory Miller Jr. and his game-high 22 points.
Â
INS & OUT
Up three at the break, the Saints opened the second half with a 10-3 run, building an 11-point lead before the first media timeout. But
Aaron Etherington drained a triple out of the stoppage, and the Hounds held their host to just two field goals in the next six minutes to slice into the margin.
Â
UIndy continued to battle, cutting it to four points twice in the final 30 seconds. They would not get any closer, however, as the host Saints sank 5 of 6 free throw attempts down the stretch to keep it a two-possession game.
Â
Miller finished 8 for 18 from the floor. He was joined in double-figures by
Jakobie Robinson, who amassed 12 points and a team-best seven boards, while Etherington added 11 points off the bench, sinking 3 of 5 from beyond the arc.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX
- Both
Jesse Bingham and
Josiah Tynes were credited with four assists.
-
Kendrick Tchoua finished with seven points and six rebounds.
- UIndy shot 57 percent from the field in the first half and 47 percent for the game, but only connected on 7 of 13 FTs (.538).
