Scouting the Opposition
UIndy: There's a new look to the Greyhounds in 2025-26 as UIndy looks to rebound under second-year head coach Scott Heady from a subpar 2024-25 season after three straight years of earning the top seed in the Midwest Region.
 
Only three players who saw any time in 2024-25, senior Pierce Thomas and 6-11 starting center Kelvin Amoako, return this year as Heady hit the transfer portal heavily to restock his roster, bringing in talent from across the country led by high-scoring guard Carmelo Harris, formerly of Wayne State. Former St. Thomas Aquinas star Shaun Arnold also is a double-digit scorer for the Greyhounds, while Amoako is a heavy load in the paint and Kon and Thomas both look to play bigger roles after missing most of 2024-25 with injuries.
 
Another familiar face, former Thomas More guard Nate Dudukovich, also starts for the Greyhounds, while John A. Logan transfer Julian Norris and a quartet for freshmen led by high-scoring guard Tyler Parrish round out a deep rotation.
 
The Greyhounds are 1-3 on the season but all three losses have been in close games to quality teams, meaning UIndy is most likely better than their record indicates.
 
The Chargers and Greyhounds have split 12 all-time meetings since 1990 6-6. Hillsdale had won two straight in a tight series with UIndy to take a narrow lead, but an 81-79 overtime win by the Greyhounds in Hillsdale last season tied up the all-time series once again.     

 
Scouting the Chargers
Hillsdale is looking to reload, not rebuild in 2025-26 after a 20-win campaign last season and heavy graduation losses that saw four starters depart.

There is upside for Hillsdale, as the Chargers rolled with a deep bench last season, meaning that despite the departures, there's still plenty of experience returning for Hillsdale to work with in 2025-26.

The Chargers' lone returning starter is point guard Ashton Janowski, a double-digit scorer in 2024-25 and a key leader and floor general at a vital position to have experience at for any young team. Along with Janowski, Hillsdale also returns junior CJ Yarian, who started 28 games at center in 2023-24 and remained an important part of the rotation in the post last year.

On the wing, the Chargers will look to Mikey McCollum, the team's sixth man off the bench in 2024-25 who finished as the team's second-leading scorer with 12.1 points per game last year. McCollum has battled injuries but if healthy should be a major factor for Hillsdale this season.

Hillsdale will look to a variety of veterans who came off the bench last season to play bigger roles, including 2024-25 rotation players Cole McWhinnie at guard, and Caleb Glaser and Garrett Bolte in the paint. While they got more limited minutes in 2024-25, there likely will be bigger roles for Connor Stonebraker, Jacob Meyer and Michael App as well, and a breakout season from one of those three could elevate the Chargers.

With major graduation losses, Hillsdale also brought in a huge class of new faces that could have an impact on this 2025-26 campaign. Tommy Morgan will compete to be a part of the wing rotation after redshirting last season, while guards Braylon Morris, Paxton Giertz and Israel Gentry and forwards Matt Buckman and John Morris also will get a shot at earning early playing time.

Returning for his third season as head coach of Hillsdale College is Keven Bradley, who has a 38-20 record so far leading the Chargers. Bradley is joined by two new assistants, Jackson McLaughlin and Braeden Proctor, for the 2025-26 campaign.
 
Other Notes

• The Chargers were picked to finish fifth in the G-MAC Preseason Poll released in late October. Defending champion Findlay was picked to repeat with eight first place votes, while Ashland and Thomas More were picked second and third, respectively, with two first place votes each. Cedarville was tabbed to place fourth. Since joining the league in 2017-18, Hillsdale has never finished lower than third in the final standings.
• As a senior captain and Hillsdale's only returning starter from last season, Ashton Janowski is linchpin player for the Chargers. With 650 career points entering the 2025-26 season, he has an outside chance of becoming the 42^nd player in Hillsdale College men's basketball history to surpass 1,000 points with a big final campaign. He's off to an impressive shooting start in 2025-26 so far, hitting 52.2% of his shots, a strong number for a guard, and burying a game-winning shot with one second to play in a 74-72 victory over Ohio Christian this past weekend.
• Connor Stonebraker has excelled in his first significant action on the court at Hillsdale College over the past two weekends, and is currently leading the Chargers in scoring. A sophomore who saw spot minutes for Hillsdale last year, Stonebraker ranks in the top 15 in the G-MAC in points per game (14), rebounds per game (6.3) and field goal percentage (57.1%) at this early juncture in the season. Hillsdale will look to him to continue his significant contributions off the bench as conference play approaches.
• Junior Caleb Glaser has proven to be an effective rebounder and shot-blcoker off the bench for the Chargers this season, currently leading the team and ranking 10^th in the G-MAC with 7.3 boards per game, while also ranking in a tie for second in the conference with 1.3 blocks per game. An athletic player who's not afraid to get physical in the paint, Glaser brings important energy to the Chargers as a reserve.
• Junior Mikey McCollum is a dangerous player from deep. He's got 99 3-point baskets in two years, the most of any returning Chargers player, and he shot 39% from 3-point range last season, with four games with four or more 3-pointers. He's also one of the most accurate foul shooters in program history – his current 88% mark from the charity stripe would rank second in program history for career free throw percentage behind Cory Coe's 89% if maintained through the end of his career.
• Senior Cole McWhinnie is having a career year in his first season as a starter for the Chargers. The Toledo Christian project is leading the Chargers and ranking in the top five in the G-MAC with 3.8 assists per game and is currently a perfect 13 of 13 from the foul line while also leading Hillsdale with six 3-point makes. His 1.8 steals per game also rank in the top 10 in the G-MAC.
