The UIndy men's basketball team earned a berth to its 13th NCAA tournament and will square off with eighth-seeded McKendree on Saturday, March 11, at 5 p.m., from inside Nicoson Hall.
 
Saturday marks the first NCAA postseason contest for the Greyhounds since 2016. UIndy was initially scheduled to host the Midwest Regional in 2020 before the pandemic canceled the remainder of the postseason.

UIndy alum Greg Rakestraw recently sat down with head coach Paul Corsaro to discuss this weekend's regional. Watch the full interview here.

UIndy leads the all-time series with McKendree, 15-3. After winning the first 11 meetings, however, the Greyhounds hold a tight 4-3 series advantage, picking up wins in three of the last four games. UIndy dominated McKendree in the only matchup of the season back in January, when the Hounds earned a 75-50 victory on "Pack the House" night.
 
The Greyhounds are making their 13th appearance in the NCAA tournament this weekend, sporting a 6-11 overall record in their first 11 trips to the big dance.
 
UIndy junior Kendrick Tchoua leads all three NCAA divisions with a 72.5 field goal percentage (153 for 211). The fourth-year big man earned GLVC Player of the Year, averaging 15.1 points and 8.2 rebounds in 20 league contests. Meanwhile, Jesse Bingham tops the team with 15.4 points and 32.3 minutes per game.
