INDIANAPOLIS - With revenge on their minds, the IUPUI Jaguars will host Centenary College in a Summit League tilt in The Jungle on Thursday night, tipping off at 7:00 p.m.. Pregame coverage will begin on Freedom 95.9 FM at 6:30, while the game is also available on SummitTV. 

Centenary (9-15, 3-9 Summit) took the earlier meeting between the two schools, 64-58 inside the Gold Dome on Jan. 19. Chase Adams led all scorers with 17 points and IUPUI's George Hill had 14 points and 13 rebounds in that contest. IUPUI led by as many as 12 in the first half, but saw its offense go stagnant in the second half as the Gents rallied to hold the Jags to just 22 second half points.

Since that loss, IUPUI (19-5, 11-2) has reeled off six straight wins and capture three consecutive Summit League Player of the Week awards. Hill, the league's Preseason Player of the Year, has been on a tear of late, averaging 23.7 points, 5.7 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game, while hitting 52.4 percent from three-point range. Junior Gary Patterson has been equally dynamic, scoring 15.0 points and shooting 52.1 percent from three over the past six contests. Patterson mixed in a 37-point effort against Southern Utah, as he hit 11-of-15 from three-point range that night. 

As a team, IUPUI has shot a blistering 56.1 percent from the floor and better than 47 percent from three-point range since. This season, IUPUI enters the week ranked first in the country in three-point shooting (42.6 percent), second in free throw shooting (78.3 percent) and third in overall field goal shooting (50.6 percent).

IUPUI also boasts a 13-game home winning streak and 12-0 mark this season. Amazingly, Hill has compiled a 32-3 record in games played in The Jungle during his IUPUI career. He enters this week ranked 18th in the country in scoring average at 21.2 points per game. 

A win would give the Jaguars 20 wins for the first-time since 2003-04.
