KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fresh off its second straight GLVC regular season title, the UIndy men's basketball team returned to the NABC national coaches poll, announced on Tuesday afternoon.
After previously receiving votes, the Greyhounds entered the rankings at No. 23 with 41 points. They are joined by Walsh (Great Midwest) as the lone Midwest Region programs in the top 25.
UIndy opened the 2023-24 campaign with its highest preseason national ranking ever at No. 5. Now winners of six straight - and nine of the past 10 games - the Hounds have secured back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time since 2011-16.
