How To Watch

What to Know

Oakland has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies and the IUPUI Jaguars will face off in a Horizon League battle at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. IUPUI took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Oakland, who comes in off a win.

It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Oakland ultimately got the result they hoped for on Wednesday. They walked away with a 70-65 victory over the Norse.

Meanwhile, IUPUI's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their fourth straight loss. They took a 68-58 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Phoenix. That's two games in a row now that IUPUI has lost by exactly ten points.

The Golden Grizzlies pushed their record up to 10-8 with that win, which was their third straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 83.0 points per game. As for the Jaguars, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost nine of their last 11 contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-13 record this season.

Going forward, Oakland is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 13 points. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last three times they've played IUPUI.

Oakland didn't have too much breathing room in their game against IUPUI in their previous meeting back in February of 2023, but they still walked away with a 85-81 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Oakland since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
