INDIANAPOLIS - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball team will continue its three-game homestand on Thursday night (Dec. 11) when the Jaguars host Green Bay (4-7, 0-2 HL) at 6:30 p.m. inside the Jungle. Thursday's game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and MyINDY as Greg Rakestraw (pxp) and Kristin Haseley (analyst) are on the call. 

The Jags (3-8, 0-2 HL) enter play looking to snap a two-game skid on the heels of a 78-55 home loss to Youngstown State. The Jags were limited to a season-low 55 points and just four made treys in the defeat. Junior Kyler D'Augustino, who was honored before the game for scoring his 1,000th collegiate point, tallied a team-high 19 points in the loss.

IU Indy continues to rank among the nation's leaders in tempo according to KenPom.com and leads the country in field goal attempts per game and ranks third in assists. D'Augustino paces the team in scoring (16.2 ppg) and minutes played (29.3 mpg) and is joined in double-digits by Matt Compas (12.5 ppg) and freshman Maguire Mitchell (10.6 ppg). Mitchell has hit a team-high 29 threes and is tied with Compas with a team-high 19 steals. 

IU Indy will be debuting their City Edition uniforms, which includes a skyline on the jersey and a checkered flag pattern on the shorts. 

QUOTABLE
"Right now, we're going through it as a team. We're trying to figure things out. We have a bunch of new players who have never played, not only in this league, but in Division I basketball. We're in a rut right now, but we'll get through it, we'll stay the course and get things done," head coach Ben Howlett said following Saturday's home loss to Youngstown State. 

SCOUTING GREEN BAY
Green Bay is 4-7 overall this season and 0-5 in true road games. The Phoenix do own a pair of neutral site wins over UMass and Iowa from the Paradise Jam in late November. Like the Jaguars, Green Bay has opened Horizon League play 0-2 with losses to Robert Morris and Wright State. Here are Green Bay's probable starters for Thursday's game. 
    G- Preston Ruedinger (6-2, R-Sr.) - 10.2 ppg, 4.6 apg
    G- Justin Allen (6-4, Sr.) - 12.8 ppg, 2.5 rpg
    G- C.J. O'Hara (6-4, Soph.) - 13.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg
    F- Marcus Hall (6-6, Jr.) - 14.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg
