TULSA, Okla. - Amidst a season-best four-game winning streak, IUPUI will put its perfect 4-0 Mid-Continent Conference record on the line at Oral Roberts on Saturday night. The 4-0 start in the league marks IUPUI's best beginning in the program's history. 

Oral Roberts (8-8, 3-1) won all three meetings between the schools last season, including bouncing the Jaguars in the semifinals of the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament in Tulsa. 

IUPUI won the first leg of its two-game road trip on Thursday by outlasting UMKC 68-62 at Municipal Auditorium. Sophomore George Hill led the way with a game-high 21 points and a key steal with 12.2 seconds left. He iced the game by draining two free throws after picking up the steal. 

Senior Brandon Cole added 14 points, including three critical second half threes on consecutive possessions as the Jags erased UMKC's nine-point lead. Junior David Barlow also had 14 as he hit a career-high four threes.

As a team, IUPUI hit 15-of-17 (88.2 percent) at the free throw line and committed just eight turnovers. The Jags outscored UMKC 14-9 off turnovers and knocked down 11 threes in the game.
