CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The IUPUI basketball team will be in action for the third time in five days as the Jaguars take on Southeast Missouri State (7-4) at 8:00 p.m. Eastern inside the Show Me Center (7,000) on Monday (Dec. 23). The game can be heard on WNDE 1260 AM or via the free iHeartRadio app as Will Flemming (pxp) will be on the call from courtside.

The game is the second meeting between the two schools this season with SEMO having beaten the Jaguars 76-68 in Indianapolis on Nov. 16. 

IUPUI (4-10) has lost three straight following Saturday's 81-61 defeat at Indiana State. During the three-game slide, the Jaguars' offense has sputtered, netting just 55.7 points per game while hitting a combined 36.1 percent from the floor and 20 percent from three-point range. 

Sophomore point guard Marcellus Barksdale has been nothing short of brilliant over the past two games, registering the first two double-doubles of his career in back-to-back contests. Against Nicholls State, he closed with 10 points and 10 boards before posting 17 points, 11 boards and six assists at Indiana State on Saturday. The 6-foot-5 Barksdale is second in The Summit at 7.7 rebounds per game, while ranking sixth in the league at 3.6 assists per contest. 

Meanwhile, junior guard Ian Chiles is second in the league in scoring at 17.7 points a game and is the only player in The Summit to have hit double-figures in every outing this season. Dating back to last sesaon, the 6-foot-1 Louisville-native has scored in double-digits in 15 straight contests. 

Up front, senior Mitch Patton is putting together a solid season, ranking second on the team at 11.7 points per game and 5.4 rebounds a game. His 13 blocked shots are also second on the team and he's shooting 46.4 percent from the field. 

Chiles and Khufu Najee combined for 46 points in the earlier loss to SEMO, teaming to hit 16-of-27 field goal tries and 5-of-11 from three. Barksdale finished with nine boards and seven assists, but SEMO's Tyler Stone was the day's top performer with 22 points, 14 boards and three blocked shots. 

IUPUI led 65-63 on a Patton layup with 3:27 remaining, but SEMO scored the game's next 12 points, including back-to-back threes from Darrian Gray and Tyler Stone to seal the deal. 

SEMO had a five-game winning streak from Nov. 22 through Dec. 7 before dropping a 75-69 home contest to UIC on Dec. 14. The Redhawks have dropped two straight following a 77-65 defeat at Memphis on Saturday. 

JC-transfer Jarekious Bradley leads the club at 19.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while Stone checks in at 18.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per contest. Collectively, SEMO scores 83.7 points a night and shoots 49.7 percent from the field. The Redhawks are also proficient on the glass, outrebounding opponents by nearly five caroms a contest. 

Antonius Cleveland (10.8 ppg) and Gray (10.4 ppg) also scored in double-digits while Lucas Nutt, son of Head Coach Dickey Nutt, averages 8.5 points and 6.0 assists a game. SEMO is 2-1 at home this season and scored more than 100 points in both of the victories.
