INS & OUTS
One of the best defensive teams in the country a season ago, the Greyhounds did not miss a beat in their lone exhibition game of the winter. UIndy built a 27-25 halftime lead in large part to limiting the Hoosiers to 32.3 percent shooting from the floor in the first 20 minutes, including an 0-for effort from 3-point range.
 
Paul Zilinskas finished an and-1 spin-through-the-lane-layup with under 30 seconds left in the first half, finishing with the free throw to give the Hounds the two-point lead.
 
The Hoosiers ran away in the second half, going 20 for 31 from the floor after the break. Bingham scored 10 of his 13 points in the final 20 minutes, as UIndy attempted seven of its eight free throws in the second half.
 
David Ejah impressed against Indiana, recording eight points, three rebounds, and two steals. The senior out of Fort Wayne, Ind., also hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the first half.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Point guard Josiah Tynes led all players with more than 37 minutes of action, dishing out a game-high seven assists.
- Kendrick Tchoua, after getting in early foul trouble, responded in the second half to finish with six rebounds, two steals, and one block.
- The Greyhounds were whistled for 20 fouls in the loss, compared to the Hoosiers' 12. As a result, Indiana attempted 20 free throws with UIndy sinking six-of-eight from the charity stripe.
- Zilinskas opened the scoring with a 3-ball at the 18:46 mark of the first half.
- Sophomore Sean Craig finished with nine points and five rebounds, four of which came on the offensive glass.

HOUND BYTES
"I'm really excited," said Zilinskas postgame. "I love playing with these guys. It was a lot of fun competing out there."

Zilinskas also shouted out some key reserves and praises the depth of this team. "You can see it right when they step out on the floor. Sean Craig, Zac Szul, Dylan Ingram...they're hitting shots and creating an impact; there's zero drop off once those guys step on the floor. That's really exciting because we can play any combination of those 10 guys and we'll play the same exact way."
