St. Charles, Mo. - The combination of a season-high 19 turnovers and 50 points scored by Indianapolis' Jordan Loyd and Joe Lawson proved to be too much for the Lewis University men's basketball team, as the No. 13 Greyhounds earned the 70-61 Great Lakes Valley Conference Quarterfinal win over the Flyers at the Family Center on Thursday afternoon.

Loyd, a junior guard, scored a game-high 32 points on 9-for-18 shooting, including three trifectas and an 11-for-12 performance from the free throw line. Lawson nearly missed a double-double with 18 points and nine rebounds. The Greyhounds scored 17 points off of the Flyer turnovers.

With the victory, Indianapolis improves to 23-4, while the Flyers fall to 21-8. Indianapolis advances to play top-seeded Bellarmine on Saturday (March 7), while the Flyers will learn their postseason fate on Sunday (March 8) when the NCAA Tournament is announced.
