The Hounds return to The Nic to face #23 McKendree Bearcats on Thursday night before facing Illinois-Springfield on Saturday for UIndy's Love Your Hounds Day. 

The Hounds are hot off their second-best outing from the field this season in a 98-67 win over Maryville to cap off their week in St. Louis. Redshirt freshman Tyler Parrish boasted a game and career-high 30 points off of 12-for-16 shooting against the Saints. Kelvin Amoako added his new career-high 20 points in the UIndy victory. The Greyhounds set a new season best on the boards, grabbing 26 rebounds on the night, and tied their season-high three pointers made with 15. 

McKendree
The Bearcats sit atop the GLVC with an 11-3 record in conference play. The squad is second in all of Division II in team field goal percentage defense, holding their opponents to an average of just 37.6% from the field, and only allows an average of 62.5 points per game, ranking sixth nationally in the category. The Houds topped the Bearcats 82-75 in Lebanon, Ill., earlier this season, led by Parrish with 25 points. Rini Harris led the Bearcats in the matchup with 22 points.

Illinois Springfield
The Prairie Stars hold an 11-4 record in conference play, including a 91-74 win against the Greyhounds in Springfield in early January. UIS has seen recent losses against #23 McKendree and #24 Missouri S&T in their last two outings. Graduate Student Jordan Rice leads the offence for the Prairie Stars with 17.5 points per game dishing out an additional five assists per contest.
