NEW CASTLE, Ind. – Two UIndy men's basketball alumni were recently recognized by the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame with a formal ceremony to be held on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
Â
A 1975 graduate of UIndy (then Indiana Central College), Daryl Warren was a four-year letterwinner and is one of 26 Greyhounds all-time to record 1,000+ career points and 500+ career rebounds. Warren led the Greyhounds with 18.8 points per game in 1973-74, while topping the team leaderboard in assists in each of his final three seasons. Warren becomes the fourth Greyhound ever to be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, joining Bailey Robertson (1990), Bill Hampton (2017), and Bob Smock (2019).
Â
One of the best 3-pointer shooters in program history, Mickey McGill finished his four-year career with UIndy in 2005. McGill currently ranks ninth in program history in triples made (147) and 3-point percentage (.443), as well as 14th in 3-pointers attempted. McGill donned the Greyhound uniform in 110 contests, good for the ninth-most in program history.
