ROCHESTER, Mich. - The IU Indianapolis basketball team will be back in action on Wednesday night (Jan. 15) when the Jaguars travel north to face reigning league champion Oakland University inside the Athletics Center O'rena. Wednesday's game will be broadcast on ESPN+. 

Head coach Paul Corsaro's team is coming off an emphatic 95-61 win over Detroit Mercy inside the Jungle last week, despite playing without top scorer Paul Zilinskas. Graduate Jarvis Walker paced six Jaguars in double-digits with 20 points and Sean Craig contributed 19 points and a career-high seven assists. Senior Alec Millender finished with 15 points and tied his career-high with four treys as the Jaguars finished with 18 treys, falling one three shy of tying the program's single-game record. Freshman DeSean Goode recorded his second double-double of the season with 15 points and a career-high 13 rebounds en route to earning his second #HLMBB Freshman of the Week Award of the season. 

Millender's fourth and final trey of the night put him at 1,000 points for his collegiate career as he became the third Jaguar to go over 1,000 points this season, joining Zilinskas and Walker. 

Two other freshmen - Ron Rutland III (11 points, 3-4 3's) and Keenan Garner (10 points, six rebounds) - also finished in double-digits in the win. 

The 95 points scored and 34-point winning margin were the program's highest since joining the Horizon League. The last time IU Indy won a league game by that many was a 38-point Summit League win over UMKC in February 2010 on the same night the program retired former NBAer George Hill's No. 3 jersey. 

QUOTABLE
"It feels amazing to get back in that win column. We've been so close in so many games, so it was time to get over that hump and it feels amazing. The icing on top was to get that 1,000 points is a great feeling," Millender said following the win over Detroit Mercy. 

SCOUTING OAKLAND
Oakland is 6-12 overall and 3-4 to start Horizon League play with wins over Wright State, Milwaukee and Northern Kentucky. Offensively, OU is scoring 65.1 points per game and shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 27 percent from three-point range. However, defensively, the Golden Grizzlies have held foes to 70.3 points per game and just 44.3 percent from the floor. Individually, Allen Mukeba leads the Golden Grizzlies in scoring (13.1 ppg) and blocked shots (26) while Buru Naivalurua tallies 12.5 points and a team-high 7.8 rebounds per game. Two other OU players - DQ Cole (10.6 ppg) and Malcolm Christie (10.1 ppg) - also score in double-digits. 

SERIES HISTORY
Oakland leads the all-time series 34-20 and has won the most recent six meetings between the two programs. The series began in 1975. IU Indy is just 4-21 all-time in 25 meetings in Rochester.
