IUPUI at Milwaukee 2/25/21 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The IUPUI Jaguars are set to visit UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a 1st round matchup in the Horizon League tournament as they will face the Milwaukee Panthers. The IUPUI Jaguars come into this matchup with an 8-9 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Youngstown State Penguins, 77-70. Leading the way for the IUPUI Jaguars was senior guard Marcus Burk as he recorded 24 points and 3 rebounds. Senior forward Elyjah Goss had a productive outing for the Jaguars as he pitched in 21 points and 15 rebounds.

The IUPUI Jaguars struggled shooting the ball against the Youngstown State Penguins as they connected on 21 of their 62 field goal attempts (33.9%), and they were even worse from behind the three-point line (21.7%). The IUPUI Jaguars won the turnover battle against the Youngstown State Penguins (18-15), but they were edged out by the Penguins in the rebounding department (37-35).

The Milwaukee Panthers come into this matchup with an 8-11 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, 89-87 in 2 OT. Leading the way for the Milwaukee Panthers was senior guard Josh Thomas as he recorded 22 points and 5 rebounds. Joining Thomas in the backcourt was senior guard Te’Jon Lucas who had a productive outing for the Panthers with 21 points, 13 assists, and 5 rebounds.

The Milwaukee Panthers struggled shooting the ball against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies as they connected on 34 of their 85 field goal attempts (40%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (37%). The Milwaukee Panthers won the turnover battle against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies (14-8), but they were edged out by the Golden Grizzlies in the rebounding department (52-43).

These two teams have had completely opposite Februarys as the IUPUI Jaguars are 4-2 while the Milwaukee Panthers are 1-5, and I don’t necessarily trust the Panthers to win by more than 5 points against anyone in the conference. The Jaguars will have the best player on the floor in this matchup as Marcus Burk is averaging 22.2 PPG, and he has been supplemented nicely all season long as Jaylen Minnett is pitching in 16 PPG. The Panthers have really struggled on the defensive side of the court in conference play as they are allowing an average of 76.7 PPG, and I think the Jaguars have more than enough scoring to upset Milwaukee. Final Score Prediction, IUPUI Jaguars win and cover ATS 76-73.
