Men's Basketball Returns Home to Host Rockhurst, William Jewell

2/15/2023 11:28:00 AM

Prairie Stars men's basketball will host their final two regular season home games this week. UIS will first host Rockhurst on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., then William Jewell on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. for Senior Day.

The Prairie Stars look to avenge a 62-60 January loss against the Rockhurst Hawks. The Hawks have won just two of their last five GLVC matchups, including a win over No. 25 Missouri-St. Louis. Rockhurst fell by just seven points when they faced the No. 7 Indianapolis Greyhounds last week. 

UIS will then face the 13-10, 10-7 GLVC William Jewell Cardinals. The Cardinals defeated Lewis last Thursday, and fell to Indianapolis 60-64 on Saturday. The Prairie Stars won 73-63 when the teams last met. 

UIS is 15-9 overall and 9-7 in the GLVC, standing 7th in the latest GLVC Point Rating System rankings. The Prairie Stars lead the conference in assist to turnover ratio (1.58), and 3-point field goals made (10.08 per game). 

Individually, UIS has a number of players in the top-10 of the individual statistics rankings. Jordan Rice is second in assist to turnover ratio (2.69) and seventh in assists (3.58 per game). Jack Weber is featured in a number of statistics rankings, and is most notably ranked third in field goal percentage (60.4%) and 7th in rebounding (6.4 per game). Max Kunnert and Michael Wright are 8th and 10th, respectively, in 3-point field goals made.
