MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball team will kickoff a two-game road trip on Wednesday (Jan. 28) when the Jaguars take on Robert Morris (13-9, 5-6 HL) at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN+. The Jaguars come in having won two of their past three contests, including a home win over RMU back on Jan. 15. 

Most recently, the Jags (6-16, 2-9 HL) had an emphatic 103-85 road win at Oakland last Wednesday before seeing their home game scheduled with Purdue Fort Wayne over the weekend postponed due to inclement weather. Because of the postponement, the Jags will now close the regular season with five of their final seven games on their home floor. 

IU Indy will now host Milwaukee on Feb. 10 inside the Jungle and cap the regular season against Purdue Fort Wayne on Feb. 28. 

The Jags had an impressive offensive outburst at Oakland last Wednesday, shooting a season-high 60 percent from the field and 50 percent from three, leading by as many as 26 in the second half before finishing the 18-point win. Senior Finley Woodward was one of three Jags to finish with at least 20 points, closing with 22 points, nine assists and six rebounds. Junior Kyler D'Augustino added 21 points and seven assists and senior Jaxon Edwards had 20 points, including six dunks, and nine rebounds. Freshman Maguire Mitchell contributed 13 points, four rebounds and four assists and was later named this week's #HLMBB Freshman of the Week. 

The Jags defeated RMU two weeks ago, 96-93 in overtime, fueled by D'Augustino's 28 points and Edwards' career-high 25 points, including hitting 13-of-15 at the free throw line. IU Indy never trailed in overtime as sophomore Aiden Miller made a three on the initial possession of the extra period and the Jags never relinquished the advantage. 

QUOTABLE
"I think we were really patient. I thought we took good shots; we didn't rush any shots in transition and guys were shooting with their feet set. It was a really good performance by us. I thought we followed our loss with some really good practices and we were able to play a really good game today," head coach Ben Howlett said following last Wednesday's win at Oakland.
