INDIANAPOLIS - The top two teams in The Summit League will square off on Saturday night when IUPUI plays host to Oral Roberts in The Jungle. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST as pregame coverage will begin on Freedom 95.9 FM at 6:30. The game will also be carried on ESPN Full Court/360 and is available for purchase as part of the SummitTV package.

IUPUI (20-5, 12-2 Summit) comes in riding a seven-game winning streak and 14-game home winning streak. The Jags are a perfect 13-0 at home this season, dispatching of the opposition by an average of 19.2 points per game. 

ORU (18-5, 13-0) can relate to perfection as the Golden Eagles come into Saturday's game with an unblemished 13-0 mark in The Summit. Head coach Scott Sutton's club escaped Western Illinois with a 76-71 win on Thursday night as senior Moses Ehambe scored 40 points and hit nine threes in the victory. No other Golden Eagle reached double-digits. 

IUPUI had a much easier time on Thursday, rocketing past Centenary College, 89-61. George Hill posted his Summit League-best seventh double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds and the Jaguars' bench tossed in a season-high 48 points. Sophomore Jon Avery had 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting and freshman John Ashworth scored a season-high 12. Fellow freshman LeRoy Nobles provided a late burst of energy, scoring 10 points in just 11 minutes of court time. 

Hill moved into fifth on IUPUI's all-time scoring list with 1,463 career points, surpassing former great Kim King.

ORU leads the all-time series with IUPUI 13-9, although the Jags have won five of the nine previous meetings in Indianapolis. Oral Roberts has won the previous four meetings between the two schools including a 64-63 victory at the Mabee Center on Jan. 17. IUPUI senior Austin Montgomery missed that game due to an NCAA delivered suspension and Ashworth made his lone collegiate start to date. 

Junior Gary Patterson missed a trey at the horn that would've capped a come-from-behind win. 

The game will be IUPUI head coach Ron Hunter's 151st conference game on the sidelines, tying him with former Southern Utah head coach Bill Evans for fourth on the league's all-time list.
