INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men's basketball team dominated on Saturday, earning a massive 82-51 victory over Drury inside Nicoson Hall.
 
Jesse Bingham and Paul Zilinskas led all scorers with 18 points apiece, combining for 6-of-11 from 3-point range.
 
The Greyhounds nearly pulled off a wire-to-wire win, leading for more than 39 minutes after a Bingham jumper at the 18:16 mark of the first half.

It was all Hounds after the Bingham paint bucket 104 seconds into the contest, using a 23-10 run over the next nine minutes that was capped by free throw by Julian Steinfeld. Leading the charge was Jarvis Walker, who tallied eight points during the stretch.
 
Zilinskas impressed for the second straight game, scoring 13 of his 18 points in the first 20 minutes. The junior transfer added five rebounds, three assists, and two steals to his final line.
 
UIndy was deadly from beyond the arc, drilling 14 triples on 23 attempts in the win. Josiah Tynes scored all 11 of his points after halftime, sinking three 3-pointers in 10+ minutes off the bench in the second half. The team went 9-of-12 from 3-point land following the break, with Sean Craig chipping in a pair late in the game.
