INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - IUPUI sent South Dakota State to its fifth straight loss on Thursday in both team's Summit League opener, as the Jaguars opened the game with a 7-0 run and never looked back in a 79-57 win in front of 1,025 fans at the Jungle.
The loss drops the Jackrabbits to 2-5 on the season and 0-1 in league play, while the Jags improve to 6-2 overall and 1-0 in league play.
"Our freshman played like freshman tonight, but our older kids need to carry the younger kids," said SDSU head coach Scott Nagy. "If we don't' get big games out of our older guys like Garrett (Callahan), Kai (Williams) and A.C. (Anthony Cordova), were going to struggle."
Cordova did lead the Jacks offense with 14 points, Clint Sargent added 10 in the loss. Callahan and Williams combined for 10 points, seven from Williams and one three-pointer from Callahan in seven attempts.
"When you're not making three-pointers against teams like this, it makes it very difficult to get the ball inside and we just didn't shoot it very well," added Nagy. "We had some open shots and from some good very shooters, but when Garrett goes 1-for-7 from three, we're just going to struggle"
The Jacks as a team went 5-of-20 from long distance, three of them coming from Sargent, who went 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Robert Glenn led four IUPUI players in double figures with 21 points, Leroy Nobles added 16, Alex Young 12 and John Ashworth 10 points in the win.
SDSU returns to action on Saturday against Western Illinois, where a win would snap the five game skid, give the Jacks its first-ever Summit League road win and would mark the 1,300 win in program history.
The quest for all three begins at 7 p.m. from Western Hall in Macomb, Ill.
