Greyhounds Slip Past Hawks, Reach 20 Wins

INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 7 UIndy men's basketball team (20-2) reached 20 wins for the first time in three years on Saturday, slipping by Quincy (13-10, 9-6 GLVC) from Nicoson Hall, 76-70. 

Jesse Bingham led all scorers with 18 points, while Jarvis Walker led the Hounds off the bench with 10 points and three rebounds.
 
With the victory, the Greyhounds have now won their last 14 contests, stretching back to Dec. 6.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Looking to avenge its early-season loss to the Hawks, UIndy came out ready to fight. The first half witnessed five lead changes and four ties, with Walker drilling his first 3-pointer of the afternoon at the 7:59 mark to give the Hounds a 20-17 lead.
 
Seven different Greyhounds tallied points in the first 20 minutes, including 3s from David Ejah and Aaron Etherington to help build a four-point advantage at the break.
 
Quincy stuck around in the second half despite not leading for a single second down the stretch. Kendrick Tchoua stepped up, recording 13 of his 16 points after intermission, along with six of his eight boards. The fourth-year Greyhound is now just six points from 1,000 in his career.
 
The Hounds scored 14 of the final 22 points after the Hawks knotted the game at 62 apiece with under five minutes remaining. Helping ice the game away was Jakobie Robinson, who scored all 11 of his points in the second half.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- Feeding into the bench frenzy was Sean Craig, who drilled a pair of 3-balls in nearly 15 minutes of action.
- After starting 2-for-6 from the free throw line, UIndy sunk 15 of its 19 attempts in the second half.
- Bingham led the team with six assists, as the team dished out 15 on 26 made field goals.
- UIndy committed just six turnovers on Saturday, its second-best mark of the winter. The Hounds turned the ball over on 10 possessions in their last meeting the Hawks, a 62-57 loss in Quincy.
- The Greyhounds have now attempted 25 free throws on six occasions this season.
 
MORE NOTES
Tchoua is also 18 rebounds away from 600 in his career … Bruno Williams tallied half of his eight points from the charity stripe … Quincy's Zion Richardson led the Hawks with 14 points and four assists … the Hounds grabbed the rebounding edge at the end of the game, 35-34, with three impactful offensive boards from Julian Steinfeld ... this is the first time under head coach Paul Corsaro the program has reached 20 wins in a single season.
 
HOUND BYTES
