IUPUI @ PFW

Current Records: IUPUI 1-19; PFW 13-10

What to Know

The IUPUI Jaguars have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. IUPUI and the PFW Mastodons will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. PFW should still be riding high after a victory, while the Jaguars will be looking to right the ship.

The game between IUPUI and the Robert Morris Colonials on Saturday was not particularly close, with IUPUI falling 66-49.

Meanwhile, PFW didn't have too much trouble with the Green Bay Phoenix at home on Sunday as they won 71-55.

IUPUI is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 5-11 ATS when expected to lose.

The Jaguars are now 1-19 while the Mastodons sit at 13-10. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: IUPUI has only been able to knock down 37.40% percent of their shots, which is the 358th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. PFW has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.40% from the floor on average, which is the 48th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
