Key Storylines
Green Bay enters this game coming off two straight losses to Wright State and Robert Morris. They are searching for offensive rhythm, averaging just 72.1 points per game while surrendering 76.0 points per game. Marcus Hall leads the Phoenix with 14.5 points per game, but the offense has struggled to find consistent scoring beyond its top option.
IU Indianapolis, on the other hand, averages 87.0 points per contest, led by Kyler D’Augustino’s 16.2 scoring average. The Jaguars’ offense thrives on pacing and ball movement, averaging over 20 assists per game, but defensive lapses have left them vulnerable.

The contrasting styles in this game will make for an interesting matchup. Green Bay’s controlled approach and IU Indianapolis’s uptempo style will define how this one unfolds. Expect the Phoenix to try and slow the Jaguars down to get them out of their comfort zone.
