On the horizon...

As the week starts, the spotlight continues to shine on the UIndy women's basketball team, who improved to 19-0 Saturday with a 30-point win over Kentucky Wesleyan. Saturday's win was the 17th win by double-digits for UIndy. Of those, nine have come by 20+ and six wins are of 30 points or more.

*The Hounds are currently ranked #3 in the nation, but will more than likely move up with Saturday's loss by #2 Delta State.

*Check out the replays of Saturday's basketball games (vs. Kentucky Wesleyan) Monday night on HomeTownSports Indiana. Comcast and Brighthouse digital customers can pick it up on channel 81. Check their website for local listings. The games are scheduled to air at 6:00 (women) and 8:00 p.m. (men).

*In the "Really?" category (but still worth mentioning): UIndy has already secured a spot in the upcoming Great Lakes Valley Conference women's basketball tournament. The 12-team tourney begins on Feb. 27 on campus sites. The Hounds, who are the first to clinch a spot, will be vying for one of the top four seeds to host that opening round then the quarterfinals. With the tourney expanding to 12 teams, the Greyhound men's team is also assured of advancing to the tournament. 12 men's teams are eligible for the postseason this year and currently UIndy is just two games back of what essentially would be the #2 seed in the East, since Southern Indiana is ineligible for the postseason.
