CEDAR CITY, Utah - The IUPUI basketball team will look to salvage a split on its two-game Summit League swing when it takes on Southern Utah (6-12, 3-5) inside Centrum Arena on Saturday night for a 9:30 p.m. Eastern tip. Scott McCauley (play-by-play) will call the action on 88.3 FM / The Walk, with pregame coverage beginning at approximately 9:25.

IUPUI (11-10, 5-3 Summit) dropped the first game of the two-game trek to UMKC on Thursday night, 85-77 in double overtime. Junior Alex Young scored a career-high 32 points in the loss and took over the scoring lead in The Summit in the process at 19.4 points per game. The 6-foot-6 lefty notched his fifth career double-double by grabbing 10 rebounds in 45 minutes work.

UMKC's Spencer Johnson forced overtime by splashing a three with 3.4 seconds left in regulation. In the first overtime, Johnson struck again with a game-tying three with 1:28 to play. Young had a chance to win it on IUPUI's final possession, but misfired on a trey as time expired. Johnson closed with a season-high 24 points and senior Jay Couisnard tallied a team-high 27 points in the win.

Senior Leroy Nobles scored 19 points as IUPUI placed just two in double-figures on Thursday. Junior Christian Siakam had eight points and 12 rebounds before fouling out and sophomore Sean Esposito tallied eight points in 13 minutes off the bench.

Young took over the No. 8 spot on IUPUI's all-time scoring list and enters Saturday's game needing just four points for the No. 7 position. With eight points, Young would become the seventh player in school history to reach the 1,400 point plateau.

Southern Utah comes in having won two-in-a-row, including an easy 69-48 victory over Western Illinois on Thursday night. Ray Jones led SUU with 16 points and Kyle Davis added 12 points and 14 boards in 28 minutes work. Jones leads the Thunderbirds in scoring (10.4 ppg), assists (4.2 apg), steals (32) and minutes played (33.3 mpg). Head Coach Roger Reid's rotation boasts 11 different players averaging better than 10 minutes per game, with 10 of the 11 scoring at least four points a game.
