CURRENT TRENDS
  • IUPUI dominated Northern Kentucky in their last game as Rachel McLimore scored a career-high 26 points.
  • McLimore and Macee Williams (18 points, nine rebounds) were nearly flawless from the floor, going a combined 18-for-23 on the night. As a team, IUPUI shot 60% (33-55) from the field, the highest field goal percentage since shooting 64.2%, also against Northern Kentucky, back in 2013.
  • The Jags scored 89 points against the Norse, the highest point total against a DI opponent this season and the most since scoring 91 against Detroit Mercy on Feb. 17, 2018. The Jags also scored over 80 points in back-to-back games for the first time since Jan. 11 and 13 of last season.
  • All four of IUPUI's wins in conference play have been by at least 25 points. The Jags have won their last five games overall by at least that margin.
  • The Jags have been distributing the ball very well in the last three games, finishing with at least 20 assists in all three. IUPUI has also taken very good care of the ball, turning the ball over no more than 14 times in those games.
  • The Jags 7-0 at home this season, the best mark in the DI era in program history. The Jags went 10-0 at home in their last season before transitioning to DI (1997-98).
ALL-TIME AGAINST WRIGHT STATE
  • IUPUI has struggled with Wright State recently, dropping five-straight games against the Raiders. In the last two seasons, Wright State has knocked IUPUI out of the Horizon League Tournament.
  • The games with the Raiders have been close with all six games since IUPUI joined the Horizon League being decided by less than 10 points. Three of those games were one-possession games with one game going to overtime.
WRIGHT STATE TRENDS
  • Wright State is also on a four game winning streak after dropping their Horizon League opener by two points at Milwaukee.
  • The Raiders are coming off of a 58-43 win over UIC but had scored at least 70 points in the three previous victories.
  • Against the Flames, Jada Roberson finished with a team-high 16 points but the Raiders struggled shooting the ball, hitting just 33.8% of their field goals and going 0-for-17 from deep. WSU benefited from a 19-4 second chance point advantage after outrebounding UIC 22-6 on the offensive end.
  • Wright State has been led this season by Angel Baker, who is scoring 16.6 points per game. Michal Miller is second on the team with 13.1 ppg and Tyler Frierson is a rebounding machine for the Raiders, pulling down 8.6 boards per contest.
