Witness the Battle of the Season at Hyland Arena

Current Records and Team Dynamics

Currently, the IUI Jaguars stand at 5-7, while the Lindenwood Lions are at 4-6. These records hint at the competitive nature of the upcoming match. The Jaguars have been on a bit of a rough patch, losing two consecutive games by exactly two points. Their struggle to secure offensive rebounds, with only five in the recent game against PFW, is a cause for concern. On the other hand, Lindenwood has been finding its home court advantage, winning three contests by 46 points or more this season after a tough road loss. Their recent 99-53 victory over Harris-Stowe showcases their dominance.

The series history also favors Lindenwood, as they won the only game played between the two teams last year. The last encounter in December 2023 saw Lindenwood emerge victorious with a score of 73-67. Now, the Jaguars have a chance to avenge this loss and turn the tide.

How to Watch and Key Statistics

Make sure to mark your calendars for the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. In terms of shooting from beyond the arc, IUI has been quite impressive this season, nailing 36.6% of their threes per game. However, Lindenwood has struggled in this aspect, making only 30.2% of their threes. This significant difference in three-point shooting could play a crucial role in the outcome of the game.

The Jaguars' offensive firepower and Lindenwood's home court advantage make this a match to watch. Will IUI be able to break their losing streak and claim victory? Or will Lindenwood continue their winning streak at home? We'll find out soon.
