CEDAR CITY, Utah - With over a foot of snow having been dumped on Indianapolis overnight, the IUPUI men's basketball team skipped town as it prepares to take on Southern Utah at the Centrum on Thursday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. EST with XL 950's pregame coverage beginning at 8:30.

IUPUI (10-10, 3-6 Summit) comes in looking for its second straight road win after an emphatic 84-57 win at IPFW on Saturday. Junior Robert Glenn recorded his third double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds and senior Gary Patterson hit six treys on his way to a season-high 20 points. The Jaguars surged out to an 18-3 lead before the game's first media timeout on Saturday and led 49-25 by halftime. 

IPFW got no closer than 22 the rest of the way. 

IUPUI shot a season-high 50 percent from beyond the arc, connecting on 10 of 20 tries. Sophomore Leroy Nobles pumped in 3-of-4 himself and finished with 17 points. 

Head Coach Ron Hunter utilized his tenth different starting lineup of the season on Saturday, snapping junior Billy Pettiford's streak of 52 straight starts, dating back to his freshman year. Sophomore Adrian Moss was awarded his third career start and responded with a career-high six assists. 

IUPUI won the previous meeting with Southern Utah (6-14, 4-5 Summit) on Jan. 2, 59-54 behind freshman Alex Young's 14 points. IUPUI led by 11 early in the second half but an 11-0 SUU run tied the game with 11 minutes left. However, IUPUI refused to relinquish the lead and key contributions from John Ashworth and Nobles down the stretch helped the hosts secure the win.
