It's playoff time, and Indianapolis Metropolitan had no trouble coming through when it counted. They took their matchup on Tuesday with ease, bagging an 80-37 win over the Eminence Eels. The Pumas have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 games by 23 points or more this season.

Indianapolis Metropolitan got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Kwame Hawkins out in front who went 6-for-8 on his way to 13 points and three steals. Hawkins is also on a roll when it comes to three-point shooting accuracy, as he's posted one of at least 50% in the last seven games he's played. Another player making a difference was Josh McGee, who posted eight points along with six assists and four steals.

Indianapolis Metropolitan smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least ten offensive rebounds in nine consecutive contests.

Indianapolis Metropolitan is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.4 points over those games. Eminence has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-17 record this season.

Indianapolis Metropolitan will challenge Greenwood Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Indianapolis Metropolitan knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past five contests -- so hopefully Greenwood Christian Academy likes a good challenge. Eminence does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
