INDIANAPOLIS - Coming off a historic three-point shooting effort, the IUPUI basketball team looks to run its home winning streak to 13 games on Saturday night as it plays host to UMKC (8-15, 3-7 Summit) in The Jungle. Tip time is slated for 7:00 p.m. EST and pregame coverage with Greg Rakestraw begins on Freedom 95.9 FM at 6:30.

On Thursday night, IUPUI (16-5, 8-2) used a monumental three-point shooting effort to dispatch of Southern Utah, 88-66 in The Jungle. As a team, the Jaguars hit a school record 19 threes on just 32 attempts, finishing at 59.4 percent. The monster night vaulted the Jaguars from tenth in the nation to No. 1 in the country in three-point shooting percentage at 42.9 percent. 

Junior Gary Patterson turned in the most prolific shooting night in the nation this season, hitting 11-of-15 from three-point range en route to a career-high 37 points. Patterson's 11 treys are the most by a Division I player this year and established a new IUPUI Division I record. He shared the previous mark with nine makes in a game. 

Fellow junior George Hill chimed in with 13 points on just 3-of-5 shooting from the floor and Austin Montgomery added nine points. Playing extended minutes, senior center #Bill Van Senus grabbed a career-high seven boards and freshman guard John Ashworth# scored a season-best six points off the bench. 

The win was IUPUI's 12th straight at home, also setting a new program record at the Division I level. Previously, IUPUI had won 11-in-a-row in The Jungle over the course of the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.

On Saturday, IUPUI eyes a season sweep of UMKC after collecting a 77-72 win over the 'Roos at Municipal Auditorium on Jan. 3. Hill scored a career-high 34 points in that victory.
