SEATTLE (Nov. 16) -- Cedric Moodie's 17-foot jumper with 3 seconds remaining lifted Indianapolis to a 68-67 win over 16th ranked Seattle Pacific University in the first round of the Vitamilk Tip-Off Classic Friday night at Brougham Pavilion.

The Falcons (0-1), who had gone ahead on two free throws by Nick Johnson (Sr., 6-3, Burlington, Wa./Burlington-Edison) with 18 seconds left, used a long inbounds pass from Brannon Stone (Sr., 6-7, Oak Harbor, Wa.) to set-up Yusef Aziz (Jr., 6-4, Seattle, Wa./Foster-Highline CC) for a last-second 3-point attempt on the left wing which hit the front of the rim as time expired.

David Logan led the Greyhounds (1-0) with 19 points before fouling out while Moodie, a 6-3 transfer from Ball State, had 12.

Seattle Pacific, which lost its season-opener at home for the third year in a row, was paced by Johnson's 17 while Aziz added 16 off the bench.

Indianapolis, behind Logan's trey and layup, began an 11-2 run late in the first half to forge a 10-point lead early in the second period. But Aziz brought SPU back and it eventually took a 52-49 lead on four consecutive points by Eric Sandrin (Sr., 6-10, Bothell, Wa./Shorecrest). The lead exchanged hands seven times in the final seven minutes.

Both teams shot 40 percent or under. Seattle Pacific hit five fewer treys but outscored the Greyhounds 19-3 at the foul line, where Johnson and Aziz were a combined 13-15. Johnson scored 13 of his points in the final 15 minutes. SPU faces Lock Haven (Pa.) in the second round of the tournament Saturday at 7 while Indianapolis meets Northwest Nazarene at 5 PST.
