STRONGLY CONSIDERED FOR AWARDS

IU INDY - One of the eye-popping results anywhere in CBB came in Oakland with IU Indy essentially going wire-to-wire over the host and much more established Golden Grizzlies. Finley Woodward was all over the floor making productive plays and igniting the Jags' offense. That's been the key all year, as the staff transitions from West Liberty to D1 basketball, is getting this team to play efficient basketball within "the system" instead of just straight-up hell on wheels basketball. This win at Oakland shows that it can work against the top of the league and should provide needed confidence headed into the second half of conference play.

HONORABLE MENTION: REMAINING CONFERENCE AWARDS


HORIZON LEAGUE EXTRA: CLEVELAND STATE - CSU has really struggled under new HC Rob Summers. A win two Saturdays ago may have been a spark as the Vikings knocked off Youngstown State. Then, in its only game last week, the Vikings handed Horizon-leading Wright State an 85-79 defeat in the Nutter Center. It snapped the Raiders' seven-game winning streak in the process. Swiss sensation, Dayan Nassah, could not be stopped. He shot the ball well and made 13 of 15 foul shots in one of the league's largest upsets this year.
