KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The UIndy men's basketball team jumped six spots to No. 18 in the latest National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) rankings, announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The 18th position is the highest the Hounds have been ranked this season. Tuesday's poll marks the first time that UIndy has appeared in the top 25 in back-to-back weeks since March 2020. The Crimson and Grey also jumped in the D2SIDA national poll to No. 14.
The Greyhounds are in the midst of a nine-game winning streak, highlighted by Saturday's victory over then-No. 11 Missouri-St. Louis. Despite UIndy's
77-70 win over the weekend, the Tritons remain the highest-ranked team in the GLVC at No. 16. Meanwhile, the G-MAC's Hillsdale tops all Midwest Region competitors at No. 7.
Leading scorer
Jesse Bingham became the 44th Greyhound in program history to reach 1,000 career points
on Monday, just after being announced to the top-100 watch list for the
Bevo Francis Award. Also shining for the Hounds is
Kendrick Tchoua, who earned
GLVC Player of the Week honors after a pair of dominating performances over the weekend against Missouri S&T and UMSL.
The two remaining undefeated programs in DII, Indiana University (Pa.) and Nova Southeastern (Fla.), are first and second, respectively, in the rankings.
