Scouting IUPUI

The IUPUI Jaguars enter Thursday's game with an overall tally of 1-5. IUPUI has dropped three-straight contests, their last coming via a 33-66 decision at the hands of Wake Forest. The Jaguars' lone win of the year was a 64-59 victory over IU-Southeast on November 23. Led by the 10 points and seven rebounds per game of sophomore forward, Kerah Nelson (preseason All-Summit 2nd team), the Jaguars are averaging 45 points per game and giving up 69. IUPUI is shooting 32% on the season, and down an average of three 3-pt makes per outing.
Returning three starters and four lettermen from a 2009-10 team that went 3-26, the Jaguars were picked to finish eighth in the Summit preseason polls.
