The University of Illinois Springfield men's basketball team takes on No. 22 Indianapolis on Saturday afternoon at TRAC. The contest will tipoff at 3 p.m.

The Prairie Stars have already played five ranked teams this season, and it has won two of those contests. The first was a 79-69 victory over the same Indianapolis squad it faces Saturday. The second came Thursday night with a 77-75 win over a Bellarmine team that was ranked No. 1 in the country just five days earlier.

Indianapolis earned a road win at Lewis on Thursday by an 87-77 margin.

In the first meeting between the two, UIS led by as many as 25 in the first half, before holding off a late Greyhounds rally. The Prairie Stars made 14 three-pointers, seven more than Indianapolis.
