Pair of Hounds Named D2CCA All-Region

FINDLAY, Ohio - UIndy men's basketball seniors Jesse Bingham and Kendrick Tchoua were named to the D2CCA All-Region squads for the second straight season, announced Friday afternoon.

Five of the 11 honorees are members of GLVC programs, including Midwest Region Player of the Year Jake Hilmer of Upper Iowa. Last season, Tchoua was voted the region's top player by the organization.

Bingham and Tchoua add to their awards collections after both earning All-GLVC First Team and GLVC All-Defensive Team distinction last week. In addition, both were members of the past three UIndy teams to earn the top seed in the Midwest Regional (2020, 23, 24).

Bingham is averaging a career-best 16.2 points per game this season, while adding 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest as a senior. The Indy local recently scored a career-high 33 points in the GLVC semifinals against William Jewell, shooting 12-of-18 from the field. Bingham also recorded one double-double this season, posting 20 points and 10 boards at Pitt-Johnstown in December.

The 6-6 guard-forward currently ranks 11th in program history with 1,702 points and is just one block shy from matching Steve Kahl's record of 137.

Tchoua has had a storied five-year career as a member of the Greyhounds. A native of Silver Spring, Md., Tchoua tops the program record book in games played (142), fifth in rebounding (890), and 16th in scoring (1,502). He also ranks third all-time in field goal percentage with a 66.4 percent clip from the floor with 561 made baskets. This season, Tchoua is averaging 12.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, while leading all of NCAA Division II in offensive rebounding (125, 4.17 per game). 

The big man was also voted the GLVC Player of the Year in March 2023.

The Greyhounds open the 2024 NCAA DII Midwest Regional tomorrow at 5 p.m. against William Jewell from Nicoson Hall.
