INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI basketball team will host the University of Indianapolis in its lone exhibition game of the 2008-09 season on Thursday, tipping off with the Greyhounds at 7:00 p.m. inside The Jungle. The Jaguars are coming off a school record 26-win season and were pegged to finish fourth in The Summit League this season, according to the preseason media/coaches poll. 

Senior guard Gary Patterson was tabbed Second Team Preseason All-Summit after averaging 12.9 points per game last season. The 5-foot-10 sharpshooter is expected to miss 3-4 weeks to begin the season due to a recent hand injury. 

Juniors Jon Avery and Billy Pettiford will be asked to shoulder the load early as the duo combined to average better than 19 points and 10 rebounds per game as sophomores. 

UIndy played at the University of Tennessee on Monday, dropping an 87-73 decision to the Volunteers. Senior forward Tristan Rogers led all scorers with 16 points and Donald Cloutier added 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting. 

Thursday's game marks the first meeting between the two schools since 1996 when the Hounds took a 70-61 over the then Metros at Nicoson Hall. Carlos Knox led all scorers with 26 points in that game. UIndy leads the all-time series, which dates back to 1974, by a 9-
