Know Your Foe
IUPUI is 12-5, 9-3 Horizon League and is riding a seven-game win streak into this game. This stretch includes wins over Wright State, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Robert Morris, Youngstown State and a pair against UIC. Three-time Horizon League Player of the Year Macee Williams is leading the Jaguars with 17.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.
The Series
IUPUI owns a 22-12 advantage in the all-time series that dates back to 1980. The Mastodons' best win came in 1991, with a 110-70 blowout, in which the 'Dons did not make a 3-pointer (0-for-3). IUPUI has won the last eight on-court meetings, but Purdue Fort Wayne took a forfeit win earlier this season. The last on-court win for the 'Dons came in 2014, when 2022 Hall of Fame inductee Amanda Hyde scored 36 points with 18 free throws.
A Win Would...

• Tie the most wins against Division I competition in a season since 2015-16
• Give the Mastodons their first win at IUPUI since 2011
• Snap a three-game losing skid
Much Improved
