TULSA, Okla. - The IUPUI basketball team will open its final two-game regular season road trip when it treks to Oklahoma to play Oral Roberts (15-14, 11-5 Summit) on Thursday night at 8:05 p.m. Eastern inside the Mabee Center. The game can be heard in the Indianapolis market on 88.3 FM as Scott McCauley (play-by-play) calls the action on The Walk. In addition, the game will be televised on FCS Central and ESPN3.com.

IUPUI (17-12, 11-5 Summit) comes in trying to avenge an earlier loss to ORU in Indianapolis as both have identical 11-5 marks in The Summit. ORU knocked off the Jaguars 63-61 in Indianapolis on Dec. 4 when Warren Niles scored a layup with 0.2 seconds to play. Senior Leroy Nobles scored a game-high 21 points in the loss and junior Stephen Thomas added 15.

The Jaguars are coming off a spirited 84-69 win over UMKC on Saturday night as Nobles and junior Alex Young combined to score 53 points and hit 8-of-11 from three. Nobles hit 11-of-13 shots and also grabbed eight boards as IUPUI dominated the glass, 38-23. Young was 9-of-17 and junior Christian Siakam was 7-of-9 and finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds for his fourth career double-double.

Young moved up to fifth on IUPUI's all-time scoring list, upping his total to 1,560 in 95 career games. Nobles climbed to tenth on IUPUI's all-time list, pushing his total to 1,367 points in four years. This season alone, Young and Nobles are accounting for 52.2 percent of the Jaguars' points and represent the 11th highest scoring duo in all of Division I basketball at 37.4 points per game (according to STATS, Inc. - Chicago). Young leads The Summit at 19.9 points per game and Nobles is sixth at 17.5 a night.

Nobles has scored at least 14 points in all 16 Summit League contests this season while Young is the only player in The Summit to rank among the top 15 in scoring, rebounding and assists.

ORU leads the all-time series between the two schools, 18-10 and the Jaguars haven't won at the Mabee Center since the 2003-04 season. The last four meetings between the two schools have all been decided by four points or less with each school winning twice.
