Fans are asked to show up in purple when the Truman basketball teams take on the University of Indianapolis in Pershing Arena tonight.
The women’s game will tip off at 5:15 p.m., followed by the men’s game at 7:30 p.m.
On the women’s side, the series with the Greyhounds has been unpredictable at best, with each team having a better record on their opponents’ home court. UINDY has won the last two to have a 10-8 series lead. Truman is 43-13 (.767) in GLVC games under the direction of head coach Theo Dean and are 22-7 in conference home games during that span.
For the men’s team, the Greyhounds hold a 9-5 advantage over the Bulldogs. Truman won the regular season game 89-73 in Indianapolis, while in the GLVC tournament, the Greyhounds kept the lead the entire second half and ended the Bulldogs tournament run 94-90. Under head coach Jeff Horner, the Bulldogs are 56-20 in GLVC games played and 31-6 in conference home games.
