COLD SPELLS HINDER JAGS IN SUNDAY LOSS AT NORTHERN KENTUCKY

Freshman Vincent Brady II paces IUPUI with 17 points in the loss

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The IUPUI basketball team struggled with long cold spells as the Jaguars fell shy to Northern Kentucky inside Truist Arena, 86-47. Freshman Vincent Brady II scored a team-high 17 points in the loss. Marques Warrick had a game-high 21 points for the Norse and Trevon Faulkner added 15 points. 

NKU (16-11, 11-5 HL) shot 60 percent from the floor and 13-of-26 from three-point range in the victory while IUPUI was limited to just 38.3 percent overall. 

Turnovers were problematic for the Jaguars throughout the day as 21 miscues led to 35 NKU points. 

"We turned it over way too much and that led to too many easy points for them," head coach Matt Crenshaw said. "They never let us get going offensively and you flat out can't win when you turn it over 21 times."

IUPUI (4-23, 1-15 HL) was limited to just one DJ Jackson free throw in the game's opening five-plus minutes before a Chris Osten putback slam finally gave the Jaguars a field goal at the 14:18 mark. Despite the slow start, IUPUI charged back, eventually taking a 23-19 lead on another Osten dunk. Brady fueled the offense in the first half, connecting on four treys, scoring 12 before the break. 

However, after taking the 23-19 lead, NKU reeled off a 19-0 run over the final nearly seven minutes of the second half to seize a 38-23 halftime margin. The Jaguars attempted just four shots during that span as six turnovers quelled any offensive rhythm. 

Jlynn Counter scored on a pull-up jumper on IUPUI's opening possession of the second half before NKU scored the game's next 11 points to turn the final 15 minutes into a formality. 

Jonah Carrasco had six points and five boards off the IUPUI bench and Armon Jarrard and Osten also scored six points. Counter, IUPUI's top scorer, was limited to just three points on 1-of-7 shooting. Amhad Jarrard had a team-high four assists in just 14 minutes off the bench. 

The Jaguars will return to action on Wednesday (Feb. 15) when they take on Oakland University at 7:00 p.m. in Rochester, Mich. That game will be aired on ESPN+.
