GREEN BAY, Wisc. - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball team will head to Green Bay (2-18, 0-9 HL) to face the Phoenix on Wednesday night (Jan. 22) at 6:00 p.m. CT (7 Eastern) on ESPN+. The Jaguars enter play seeking a regular season series sweep of the Phoenix, having already defeated Green Bay in Indianapolis back on Dec. 4. 

In the first meeting, the Jaguars put all five starters in double-digits in an 84-75 win inside the Jungle in both teams Horizon League opener. Jarvis Walker tallied a team-high 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting and both DeSean Goode (16 pts, 11 reb) and Sean Craig (12 pts, 12 reb) finished with double-doubles. Alec Millender contributed 15 points and five assists in that win and Paul Zilinskas had 11 points. 

Most recently, the Jaguars took league leader Cleveland State to the wire in a 73-62 home loss on Sunday. The Jaguars built a seven-point lead early in the second half, but had a long lull in which CSU scored 18 straight points and seized control of the game. The run was buoyed by a pair of technical fouls, allowing the Vikings to score four points at the free throw line in building a double-digit lead. Zilinskas had a team-high 13 points and Craig contributed 12 points, including three threes. Millender finished with nine points, five rebounds and four assists from the lead guard spot. 

QUOTABLE
"We didn't do a good job of handling their pressure down the stretch. We had too many live ball turnovers, which ultimately led to our lead slipping away. I thought we did a good job of coming out strong - started the game great, finished the first half great, started the second half great and kind of had that little lull in the middle of the second half. We're right there in every game and we haven't been putting a full 40 (minutes) together. When we do, I think we've got a special group," Corsaro said following Sunday's loss to Cleveland State.
