The last full week of GLVC men's basketball is upon us and action gets an early start this week as William Jewell hosts McKendree in a conference matchup that was postponed due to weather on Jan. 14. That will be the only cross-divisional contest of the week, with the rest of the league reverting back to its divisional slate. Among the headliners this week, UIndy (14-9, 11-4 GLVC) will host the other two teams tied with the Hounds for third in the East, Lewis (16-9, 11-4) and UW-Parkside (19-5, 11-4). Rockhurst (14-9, 8-7), tied for third with Drury in the GLVC West, hits the road to battle the divisional leaders, including first-place Quincy (21-5, 11-4) on Thursday and second-place Truman State (18-7, 10-5) on Saturday.
