INDIANAPOLIS - Having matched its season-best four-game winning streak, IUPUI seeks No. 5 when it hosts Summit League leader North Dakota State to the Jungle on Saturday night. The men's game will tipoff at approximately 7:00 p.m. with XL 950's pregame coverage beginning at 6:30. 

The Athletics Department will also be honoring its Hall of Fame Class of 2009 and the Summit League Co-Champion women's soccer team over the course of the evening. 

Reigning Summit League Co-Player of the Week Robert Glenn continued his hot play on Thursday, hitting 9-of-13 shots to score a game-high 21 points in a 71-63 win over South Dakota State. It was his third 20-point outing in the past four games. He, Jon Avery and Billy Pettiford all scored in double-digits as IUPUI outscored SDSU 44-12 in the paint and 18-4 off turnovers.

Glenn currently leads IUPUI (13-10, 6-6 Summit) in scoring and 13.0 points per game and now owns the third highest single-season blocked shots total with 42 rejections. Senior Gary Patterson enters Saturday's game needing just five points to amass 1,000 in his collegiate career. The 5-foot-10 sharp shooter has 940 points in three seasons at IUPUI and netted 55 as a freshman at Butler. 

North Dakota State (17-5, 11-1 Summit) comes in on a nine-game winning streak including a 61-52 win at Western Illinois on Thursday night. Summit League Preseason Player of the Year Ben Woodside leads NDSU in scoring (22.9 ppg), assists (6.4 apg), steals (33) and three-point shooting (44.9 percent). The Bison lead The Summit in scoring offense, netting over 80 points a night. 

The Bison edged IUPUI in the previous meeting in Fargo on Jan. 8, 55-52. NDSU ended the game on a 7-0 run over the final 94 seconds, getting the win despite a season-low 55 points.
