Drury enters the week tied for second in the GLVC West with Quincy at 6-3, and hits the road to West leader Truman State on Thursday and then matches up against the Hawks on Saturday.  In the East, co-leader Bellarmine travels to Indianapolis, which sits tied for third in the division at 7-2, but is also the hottest team in the league at this point.  UIndy has captured seven straight wins after starting the league slate 0-2.  The Greyhounds will turn around and welcome co-East leader Southern Indiana on Saturday.

All but two teams successfully defended their home courts, as #10 Bellarmine and #12 Southern Indiana were the two that picked up road wins and remain co-leaders in the East Division. Saint Joseph's gave USI a run for its money, taking it into triple overtime but ultimately falling 122-113. Jeril Taylor led the Screaming Eagles offensively with 38 points and 13 rebounds with five others in double digits. Indianapolis kept it close against Bellarmine, but Adam Eberhard's double-double (22pts, 13rebs) paced the Knights for the win. Truman State won its fourth in a row and moved to 8-2 atop the West with its smooth victory over Drury, 93-60. No. 25 UW-Parkside also cruised by visiting Illinois Springfield, 92-76, as all five starters scored in double figures. William Jewell picked up a three-point win over Maryville thanks to Patrick Whelan's 31 points and 11 rebounds. Lewis took a 77-68 win over Missouri-St. Louis and had two scoring over 20: Miles Simelton (23) and Delaney Blaylock (21). Taking a page out of the Flyers' book was Quincy's Joseph Tagarelli (21) and Von Washington III (20), who led with 20+ performances in the 85-81 win versus Missouri S&T. Rockhurst got 23 from Kaleb Warner in the 77-68 win against Missouri-St. Louis, rounding out the evening's results.
