INDIANAPOLIS - Having won three straight road games, IUPUI looks for some home cooking as it welcomes South Dakota State to The Jungle on Thursday for a 7:00 p.m. tipoff. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 on XL 950 and that contest can also be seen as part of the IUPUI LIVE! subscription service.

Using a new starting five the past three games, the Jaguars have reeled off consecutive victories at IPFW, Southern Utah and UMKC. Junior Robert Glenn was recently named The Summit League Co-Player of the Week after averaging 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.5 steals in the wins at SUU and UMKC. Glenn led the Jaguars in scoring including a 22-point, seven rebound night against the Thunderbirds.

He and junior Jon Avery helped IUPUI swat a season-high eight shots in the 60-56 win against the Kangaroos in Kemper Arena on Saturday. Glenn tallied a team-high 15 points, hitting 9-of-14 at the charity stripe in the win. 

Senior Gary Patterson enters Thursday's game needing 13 points to amass 1,000 in his collegiate career. The 5-foot-10 sharpshooter has scored 932 in his three seasons at IUPUI and tallied 55 points as a freshman at Butler.

SDSU won the previous meeting between the two schools, 83-63 in Brookings on Jan. 10. Junior guard Garrett Callahan led all players with 23 points while Glenn paced IUPUI with 18. Patterson added 17 in the loss.
