Quincy, Ill.— The University of Indianapolis men's basketball team secured its fifth GLVC win of the season with a six-point victory over Quincy. 

Junior Shaun Arnold was a crucial piece in the UIndy defense, grabbing eight steals, tying the single-game Greyhound record set by Brennan McElroy on Jan. 24, 2015, against GLVC opponent Illinois Springfield.

INS & OUTS

Senior Carmelo Harris led the Greyhounds with a season-high 28 points, with 12 of his coming off three-pointers. Nate Dudukovich opened up the scoring for UIndy off an early three-pointer, before the Hawks put up six unanswered points. Harris then ended the Quincy run with his first three-pointer of the night to tie the game at eight.

Arnold turned the pressure on the defensive end with two steals in less than a minute and a half of game time. The Indianapolis native gave UIndy momentum by capitalizing on his second steal with a one-handed jam on the other side of the floor. 

The UIndy offense turned up the tempo with two quick baskets courtesy of a coast-to-coast bucket from Noah Kon and an and-1 opportunity from Tyler Parrish to give the Greyhounds a five-point lead. 

Carmelo Harris hit his third three-pointer of the night with just over two minutes left in the opening half to keep the Greyhound lead at five. 

The Hawks refused to quit in the second half, coming within four points with less than a minute left in the contest, but the Harris knocked down six free throws down the stretch to secure the win for the Greyhounds.
