INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis men's basketball team outscored Lindenwood by 23 points in the second half on Monday night en route to a 83-57 win.  Four Hounds scored in double figures as UIndy improved to 12-7 overall and -6-5 in GLVC play.  

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds came out firing, taking a 16-6 lead less than five minutes into the game capped off by a three from Jakobie Robinson.  UIndy shot an even 50% in the first half to take a 36-33 lead to the break.

Lindenwood scored the first points of the second half to even the score at 36 but the Hounds responded with a 12-2 run of their own.  Jesse Bingham accounted for six of those points in the three minute span.

The Lions cut the deficit to one midway thru the second half.  The Hounds defense came up big with three straight stops while also scoring on three straight possessions.  Kendrick Tchoua sparked the run with a fast break lay up before Dee Montgomery capped it off with a dunk.

A few minutes later Montgomery knocked back a three to give the Hounds their first double digit lead of the game.  It was all Hounds from there as they closed the game with a 15-1 run.
