KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UIndy men's basketball team dropped its second straight game on Thursday, falling at Rockhurst by a score of 90-72. A layup from Brody Whitaker late in the first half inched the Greyhounds within a possession, but the Hawks pulled away after the break behind an efficient offense.
 
Grant Disken led the Hounds with 18 points, joined by three teammates in double figures, including Tucker Tornatta with 10 points and eight rebounds.
