Kenosha, Wis. — The UIndy Men's basketball team fell to the Parkside Rangers 81-81 in overtime Tuesday night.

The Greyhounds led by as many as 12 points in the second half, but foul trouble created holes in the UIndy offense down the stretch.  Carmelo Harris led the Greyhounds in scoring with 21 points. Shaun Arnold recorded his third-straight double-double, adding 17 points, shooting 7-8 from the field, while grabbing 10 rebounds for UIndy before receiving his fifth foul with less than a minute left in regulation.  Noah Kon led the Hounds on the boards, grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds before he was granted his final foul with 3:52 remaining in regulation.

HOW IT HAPPENED 
The Rangers opened up the scoring with back-to-back layups before the Greyhounds responded with a six-point run off of an Arnold and one immediately followed by a Harris step-back three to give the Greyhounds their first lead and early momentum just under three minutes into the contest. The scoring remained close for the majority of the first half, but UIndy went on a four-minute 10-6 run sparked by a three-point basket by freshman Ethan Edwards. Harris scored back-to-back buckets for the Hounds, followed by a Kon layup. Kon capitalized on the Greyhound run with his first three-pointer of the season, a buzzer-beater to give the Hounds a 10-point lead going into the break.

Harris stretched the UIndy lead to 12 with an early jumper, but Parkside fought with a 10-2 run to even the score. The Greyhounds got in foul trouble early in the second half, putting Parkside in the bonus with nearly 12 minutes left in the contest. The squads went back and forth, but UIndy did not trail until 5:50 left in regulation. Arnold capitalized on a driving layup to give UIndy a one-point lead, and Julian Norris nailed two from the charity stripe to make it a three-point ballgame. The Rangers did not go away and hit a vital free-throw and a fastbreak layup to force overtime. 

The Rangers carried the momentum in the overtime period and took a two-point lead off a Paxton Warden three, followed by a Warden layup. Tyler Parrish kept the game within reach for the Hounds, nailing two free throws to make it a three-point game with 30 seconds left. UIndy put Luka Mateski at the line, who would hit the double-bonus before Parrish knocked down a layup to bring it back to a two-point game. The Hounds then put former UIndy player, Braden McGlothlin, at the line, who would miss both shots in the double bonus, before Edwards' potential game-winning shot fell short for UIndy.
