IUPUI

Big game at Western Hall tonight. We lost to the Jags at their place earlier. Need to return the favor here. Both teams are in the upper tier of the standings right now. A win here could mean a lot when it comes to conference tournament seeding time. No secret to this one. If the game "flows" (i.e. our defensive stops and steals lead to quick demoralizing buckets) we should be in good shape. Another shooting performance like the last game against the Jacks and it will be another struggle.

It will be "Military Appreciation Night". All military members are granted free admission. Senior forward Jasmine Patrick served five years of active duty with the United States Navy prior to her time with Western.

The game will be on ESPN3.

Attendance at Western Hall = 586.

Western will be at South Dakota on Saturday. Game time is 1PM.

We battled to the end, that is all you can ask for. Hopefully I will be able to say the same thing after Saturday. If we can remain in upper half of conference standings, our visit to Sioux Falls this year will be a lot more enjoyable.
