INDIANAPOLIS - David Logan and Lawrence Barnes combined for 48 points as Indianapolis posted an 85-71 win over Northern Kentucky University on Thursday in Nicoson Hall.

Logan finished with 26 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as Indianapolis evened its record at 2-2. The Greyhounds (1-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference) shot 50.7 percent from the field and used a 15-5 run to start the second half to roll past NKU (4-2 overall, 1-2 GLVC).

NKU, which trailed by seven points early in the first half, took a 23-22 lead with 4:38 remaining on Sean Rowland’s conventional three-point play. Indianapolis, however, countered behind the shooting of Logan, who drained a three-pointer at the halftime buzzer to give the Greyhounds a 40-34 lead at the break. 

“We are not athletic enough to guard Logan,” said NKU head coach Dave Bezold. “Barnes also had a really good game for Indianapolis.”

Barnes added 22 points and six rebounds for Indianapolis, which made 10-of-25 three-point attempts. The Greyhounds also won the rebounding battle by a 40-33 margin. Mike Adibe had 10 points and nine rebounds for Indianapolis.

Harrison Morton led NKU with 19 points and four assists. Derek Smith finished with 14 points and six rebounds for the Norse, who were held to just 3-for-14 shooting from three-point range.

Mike Kelsey scored nine points for the Norse, while Kevin Schappell added eight points.

NKU will conclude its four-game GLVC road trip Saturday with a 2 p.m. contest at Saint Joseph’s.
