INDIANAPOLIS— The University of Indianapolis men's basketball squad tips off its third year with Head Coach Scott Heady at the helm on Tuesday night against Goshen at 7 p.m. in The Nic.
Heady and the Indianapolis coaching staff welcome 11 newcomers to UIndy's 15-man roster for the 2026-27 season. Senior Nate Dudukovich is the top returner for the Greyhounds. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native started 24 of 28 games for Indianapolis in the 2025-26 season, averaging 8.21 PPG. Sophomores Elad Bakshi and Bryce Harris return to the lineup, joined by redshirt freshman Chase Barnes.
Junior Coker transfer Deuce Jackson steps into the Crimson & Grey lineup—the Chattanooga, Tenn. native produced 15.1 PPG, while grabbing an average of five rebounds and adding 2.3 assists, while starting 24 of his 25 games played for the Cobras. All-Crossroads League Honorable Mention and cross-city transfer Aaron Humphrey Jr. looks to be a key role player for the Hounds as a forward. The Junior stays in his hometown of Indianapolis after leading the Marian Knights in scoring and on the boards, averaging 15 points per game while grabbing 8.6 rebounds per contest. Senior Braeden Moore looks to be a key contributor for UIndy. The Donda Academy alum showed efficiency from beyond the arc in his last two seasons, averaging 40% from the three-point range during his time at Oral Roberts and Embry-Riddle University.
The Hounds open the season with back-to-back home games, facing an in-region opponent in Saginaw Valley on Friday at 7 p.m. after Tuesday's season opener. The squad will see two more Midwest Region matches from Grand Valley State University and Kentucky Wesleyan before their first GLVC contest against Illinois Springfield on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in Springfield, Ill. at 7:30 p.m. ET.
