INDIANAPOLIS - Coming off its best defensive effort of the season, the IUPUI basketball team will return to Conseco Fieldhouse for the second time in eight days when it hosts Oral Roberts on Thursday at 7:00 p.m.. However, the Jaguars will have a decidedly different look in this contest. IUPUI will be wearing gold 1972 replica jerseys and Head Coach Ron Hunter will be marching up and down the sidelines in his bare feet for the third straight year. 

Dubbed "Retro Metro Night", the evening will be filled with giveaways and recognitions (full release).

IUPUI (11-7, 4-1 Summit) is coming off a 67-54 win over Western Illinois on Saturday, allowing a season-low 54 points and 19 made baskets. Senior Robert Glenn led three Jaguars in double-digits with 19 points and sophomore Alex Young scored 10 of his 16 in the final six minutes. Freshman guard Greg Rice, who had just 18 career points coming in, tossed in 14 including hitting both of his three-point attempts. 

After Western pulled within five with just over six minutes left, Young swished a three and Billy Pettiford scored on a layup on the next possession to help seal the win. 

Glenn comes in to Thursday's game as the No. 2 scorer in The Summit at 18.0 points per game, while Young is third at 17.6 per. 

ORU (9-8, 4-2 Summit) is coming in with a three-game winning streak over the Jaguars and boasts impressive wins over Stanford, Missouri and New Mexico this season. Sophomore swingman Dominique Morrison leads the Golden Eagles in scoring (15.5 ppg), assists (48) and free throw shooting (.838). JUCO-transfer Michael Craion is averaging 12.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game and 6-foot-9 senior Kevin Ford is netting 11.9 points and 8.0 rebounds a night. 

As a team, ORU is outrebounding its opponents by 3.6 rebounds a night. The Golden Eagles are leading the all-time series with the Jaguars 16-10.
