INDIANAPOLIS - IUPUI will host IU South Bend in non-league action in The Jungle for a rare 2:00 p.m. Saturday tipoff. Saturday's game is the 12th meeting all-time between the Jaguars and the Titans with IUPUI leading the all-time series 10-1. 

IUPUI (7-3) will be looking to lick its wounds after a 93-70 unraveling at Notre Dame on Wednesday night. The Jaguars' defense yielded its most points since 2005 in the loss and was held to a season-low 22 points in the first half. Trailing 45-22 at the break, the two teams played to a 48 all draw in the second half. 

Senior Robert Glenn led the Jags with 19 points, albeit on a career-high 18 shot attempts, and sophomore Alex Young added 18. Head Coach Ron Hunter's team got a season-high 13 points from senior Billy Pettiford, who also grabbed seven rebounds and splashed all seven of his free throw attempts before fouling out in the final minute. 

Mississippi State-transfer Ben Hansbrough, the brother of the Indiana Pacers' Tyler, led all scorers with a season-high 22 points on Wednesday. Naismith Player of the Year candidate Luke Harangody had 16 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots for the Irish.

IUSB comes in with a 2-10 record under third year Head Coach Denny Parks and is led by 6-foot-6 forward Ben Werner. IUPUI defeated the Titans a year ago 84-59 when then-freshman #Alex Young led with 16 points and Jon Avery# added 15 off the bench. Titans' guard Quinn Brooks led all players with 24 points, powered by his 6-of-7 shooting day from three.
