What to Know

The IUPUI Jaguars have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 29 of 2021. IUPUI and Wisconsin-Milwaukee will face off in a Horizon League battle at 11 a.m. ET Thursday at Indiana Farmers Coliseum. The Panthers should still be feeling good after a victory, while IUPUI will be looking to get back in the win column.

IUPUI was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 78-72 to the Cleveland State Vikings.

Meanwhile, the Northern Kentucky Norse typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday Wisconsin-Milwaukee proved too difficult a challenge. Wisconsin-Milwaukee escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 75-74.

The Jaguars are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

IUPUI is now 3-20 while Wisconsin-Milwaukee sits at 15-7. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: IUPUI has allowed their opponents to shoot 47.30% from the floor on average, which is the second highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Wisconsin-Milwaukee's defense has more to brag about, as they they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.50%, which places them 20th in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
