LIBERTY, Mo. – The UIndy men's basketball team rallied late on Saturday, knocking off William Jewell in overtime, 78-76.
 
Grant Disken and Dashawn Jackson combined to score all 11 Greyhound points in the extra session, while the defense blanked the Cardinals the final 1:44 to seal the victory. Jackson drilled a pair of triples in overtime, scoring 16 of his team-high 22 points in the final 25 minutes.
 
Jewell's Jordan Jermain could seemingly not be stopped all afternoon, as the senior recorded a career-best 45 points while logging the full 45 minutes.
