We have first round action from the Horizon League Tournament in Milwaukee, WI Thursday night, as eighth seed University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee prepares to take on ninth seed IUPUI.na team, who features decent size, and puts up similar offensive numbers as they do.na hopes to take advantage of this weakness and put together a good offensive showing. Their sparkplug all season long has been guard DeAndre Gholston, who comes in averaging over 16 points per game, and is a shockingly good rebounder for being a backcourt player, leading the team in rebounds this season.

Gholston could be in for a big night, as he is their top scorer, and will be able to create second chance points with his rebounding ability. The Panthers must take advantage of the fact that the Jaguars have struggled on the boards all season, and dominate on offense this way. They have better depth than IUPUI, and this works to their favor as well. They ended the season with a much-needed double-overtime victory against Oakland that snapped a five-game losing streak, and they hope to build off of the victory.

The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons will travel to the Resch Center on Thursday night to take on the Green Bay Phoenix in the first round of the Horizon League Championship. These teams faced off twice during the regular season in the Resch Center as the Phoenix won both games by an average of 16.5 points. The Mastodons are 11th in the Horizon at 7-14 with a 6-14 conference record. They last played on Saturday against the Cleveland State Vikings in a losing effort 67-55. The Phoenix are ninth in the Horizon with an 8-16 record and an 8-12 conference record. They are coming off a road win on Saturday against the UIC Flames 69-59.

These programs put up very similar numbers on both sides of the court throughout the regular season so it will be interesting to see which can take advantage. Let’s take a deeper dive into the matchup to decide where we should go here.

Godfrey Leads the Team
The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons have depended on junior guard Jarred Godfrey to lead the offense this year. He is averaging 15.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.5 steals in 32.3 minutes per game. He’s shooting 48.3 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from beyond the arc, and 83.1 percent from the charity stripe. In his last game against the Vikings, Godfrey played 37 minutes and finished with 10 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three turnovers. If he can limit the amount of turnovers with better shooting, the Mastodons will be great here.
The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons have been struggling on defense this season as they are giving up 77 points per game. In their last game against the Cleveland State Vikings, they allowed 67 points on 23-of-52 (44.2 percent) from the floor, 3-of-16 (18.8 percent) from the three-point line, and 27 free-throws. If they can defend without fouling, they will be in a way better position in this upcoming game.

The New AD
The Green Bay Phoenix have depended on sophomore guard Amari Davis to lead the offense this year. He is averaging 17.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.4 steals in 34.8 minutes per game. He’s shooting 41.9 percent from the field, 28. percent from beyond the arc, and 80.7 percent from the free-throw line. In his last game against the Flames, Davis played 39 minutes and finished with 20 points, even rebounds, and an assist. If he can repeat this performance, it will be a great look for Green Bay.

The Green Bay Phoenix have been struggling on defense this season as they are giving up 76 points per game. In their last game against the UIC Flames, they allowed 59 points on 22-of-58 (37.9 percent) from the floor, 8-of-23 (34.8 percent) from the three-point line, and 10 free-throws. If they can defend they way they did here, it will be hard to beat them.
