KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The UIndy men's basketball team reached its highest point in the NABC national poll in more than seven years on Tuesday, ranking No. 10 among NCAA DII programs around the country. The Hounds were last in the top 10 prior to the 2015-16 campaign when they were eighth in the preseason poll.
The Greyhounds also polled at No. 10 in the national D2SIDA top 25, which is comprised of sports information personnel across DII.
UIndy is riding a 10-game winning streak as January comes to a close, traveling to GLVC foes Illinois Springfield and Lewis this coming weekend. The Greyhounds capped a perfect home stand last week with a pair of victories inside, the latter being at Pack the House on Saturday against McKendree. As has been the case all season, the Hounds' defense reigned supreme, holding the visiting Bearcats to 50 points.Â
The last time the Hounds were ranked inside the top 10 during the season was Feb. 17, 2015. Indiana (PA) tops the DII poll once again, while fellow GLVC member Missouri-St. Louis fell to No. 19.The complete rankings can be found below.
