INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men's basketball had its modest six-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, falling to Upper Iowa by a score of 93-76 at Nicoson Hall.
 
It is the Peacocks' first win in the short series, redeeming their regular-season loss to the Greyhounds here in the Circle City just a year ago.
 
Zac Szul scored a season-high 23 points, following up a 22-point performance against Upper Iowa last February.
 
INS & OUTS
Ranked second in the GLVC in scoring offense entering Saturday, the Peacocks put on a clinic in the first half with a 51.4 percent field goal percentage, including a 7-of-18 effort from 3-point range. Tucker Tornatta scored a team-high 11 points in the opening period, while pulling down five rebounds in foul trouble.
 
The Greyhounds tried to flip the script after the break, cutting the deficit to 12 after buckets from Dashawn Jackson and Brody Whitaker with under 10 minutes left to force a Peacock timeout.
 
Upper Iowa limited the damage, however, responding – like it did all afternoon – with its soft touch from 3-point land. The Peacocks finished 14 for 34 from deep.
 
Szul caught fire in the second half, scoring 15 of his 23 in 16+ minutes. The graduate student logged a season-high 27+ minutes off the bench.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- The Hounds outscored the Peacocks in the paint, 46-26, including eight of Tornatta's 12 points.
- Upper Iowa led from its opening bucket, holding the advantage for nearly 39 minutes.
- Whitaker finished with his fifth 20+ game of the season, finishing with 21 on Saturday.
 
MORE NOTES
Upper Iowa evens the all-time series at one apiece … Peacock graduate student Nick Reid led all scorers with 34 points, including seven triples.
