QUINCY, Ill. – The UIndy men's basketball team concluded its 2024-25 season on Saturday afternoon with an 89-77 loss at Quincy. The Greyhounds finish with a 15-13 overall record, including wins over NCAA tournament hopefuls Hillsdale, Kentucky Wesleyan, and Lewis.
 
Senior Brody Whitaker finished with a game-high 28 points on a season-best 11 field goals. It marks the seventh time this season the Greenfield, Ind., native scored at least 20 and his first time since Jan. 30.
 
INS & OUTS
The Hounds and Hawks came out firing, each shooting better than 51.5 percent in the first 20 minutes. UIndy closed the half on a 16-9 run, with Tucker Tornatta joining Whitaker with six points apiece during the stretch.
 
Quincy kept its momentum alive after the break, going 15 for 27 from the floor and 12 for 17 from the charity stripe in the second half. A pair of free throws from Dashawn Jackson just 33 seconds into the period put the Greyhounds ahead 51-45 before the Hawks forged an 18-5 run to lead 10 minutes until the final horn.
 
Jackson got the Greyhounds back within seven at the 9:53 mark, but the Hawks led by at least eight the rest of the way.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Jackson finished with 17 points, upping his team-high season average to 15.9 per game. It is the most by a Greyhound since the 2021-22 season and second-best mark in the last decade.
- Tornatta caps an impressive freshman campaign with 12 points and seven boards, leading the team with 163 rebounds (5.8 per game).
