Current Records: IUPUI 2-22; Robert Morris 7-19

What to Know

The IUPUI Jaguars' road trip will continue as they head to UPMC Events Center at 7 p.m. ET Thursday to face off against the Robert Morris Colonials. Robert Morris should still be feeling good after a win, while the Jaguars will be looking to get back in the win column.

IUPUI lost a heartbreaker to the Illinois-Chicago Flames when they met in January, and they left with a heavy heart again on Monday. IUPUI fell in a 57-54 heartbreaker.

Meanwhile, Robert Morris didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Youngstown State Penguins on Sunday, but they still walked away with a 73-68 victory.

IUPUI have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 14.50 point spread they are up against. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 7-15 ATS, to cover the spread.

The Jaguars are now 2-22 while the Colonials sit at 7-19. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: IUPUI is stumbling into the contest with the 358th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 51.7 on average. Robert Morris has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 45th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
