INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI basketball team seeks its first-ever win inside downtown Conseco Fieldhouse in an effort to extend its current home winning streak to 18 games on Tuesday night. The Jaguars play host to Eastern Illinois (1-2) at 7:30 p.m. for the first-time in the program's NCAA Division I history. 

Tonight's game can be heard on Freedom 95.9 FM as Greg Rakestraw handled the play-by-play duties. Live video is also available on a subscription basis by clicking the link above.

The Jaguars are 0-2 all-time at Conseco Fieldhouse and last hosted a game at the Indiana Pacers home site during the 2004-05 season. 

IUPUI (2-2) ran its home winning string to 17 straight on Saturday night by routing IU East, 92-55 in front of a near capacity crowd in The Jungle. Junior Robert Glenn led the Jaguars with 16 points and Jon Avery scored 14 points in 14 minutes off the bench. 

All 12 Jaguars cracked the scoring column and no player logged more than 25 minutes of court time. IUPUI extended its lead to 41 points midway through the second half and coasted from there. The Jaguars shot a season-high 62 percent from the field and harassed IUE into 24 turnovers, 17 of which came off steals. 

Sophomore guard John Ashworth delivered a career-high eight assists and Leroy Nobles added a season-high 12 points.

EIU dropped an overtime heartbreaker on Saturday at IPFW to fall to 1-2 on the season. Junior guard Romain Martin leads the Panthers in scoring at over 20 points per game and Head Coach Mike Miller's roster includes a quartet of former Indiana prep standouts.

EIU leads the all-time series between the two schools 2-0, although the teams haven't played since 1984.
