Fresh off an 89-87 win over Rockhurst, the Hounds are back on the road, traveling to Bolivar, MO, to face Southwest Baptist Thursday night, before facing Drury in Springfield, MO on Saturday.

In their game against Rockhurst, UIndy finished with five players scoring in double-digits, with Carmelo Harris leading the way with 23 points. Ethan Edwards was next in the scoring column, finishing with 15 points on 6-8 shooting off the bench. Shaun Arnold collected his fifth double-double of the season, ending the game with 14 points and 10 rebounds. 

Southwest Baptist 
The Bearcats are currently T-12th in the GLVC standings, with a 3-6 mark in league play, and a 9-8 record overall. Southwest Baptist has lost their last three games, with their most recent result being a 61-84 loss at Illinois Springfield. A key to SBU's success is a hard-nosed defensive collective, as the Bearcats hone the GLVC's 4th strongest scoring defense, allowing just 68.1 points per game. On the offensive front, Zac Reedus and Barron Silsby offer a strong one-two punch. Reedus sits 10th in the GLVC in scoring, averaging 16.2 points per game. Silsby puts up a solid 13.6 points on average, with the 7th-best three-point percentage in the league (37.4%). 

Drury
The Panthers will look to return to the win column in their Thursday night matchup against Illinois Springfield, after falling to McKendree 89-76 on Saturday. As a squad, the Panthers are averaging 82.4 ppg while only allowing their opponents 77.4 ppg. Drury is led by junior guard Zach Howell who is putting up 16.2 ppg for his squad. The Panthers are first in the GLVC in steals per game (9.1) and rank second in the league in assists (15.6), turnovers forced (14.7) and blocks (3.5) per game.
