IU Kokomo returns to action Thursday looking for their third-straight win. The Cougars won by 18 Saturday at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College to improve to 7-1 in River States Conference play. IUK sits atop the RSC West division standings with ten games to play, and are tied with Rio Grande for the top-spot in the conference.

Hunter White continues to lead the Cougars, averaging 15 points and five rebounds per game. Second-leading scorer Ty Wills returned from injury Saturday and will look to make an impact on this two-game road trip. Senior forward Darian Porch plays an important role for IUK,  averaging ten points and seven rebounds per game.

Alice Lloyd enters the week with a record of 10-8. The Eagles were slated to finish third in the RSC according to the RSC Coaches' Preseason Poll, but are .500 in conference action with a record of 4-4. The Eagles have four double-figure scorers and excel when it comes to cleaning up the glass, as they are 19th in the NAIA in total rebounds per game. They are also 20th in opponent field goal percentage.

IU Kokomo will look to even the all-time series with Alice Lloyd, as they are 7-8 against the Eagles.

West Virginia Tech comes into the week with an overall record of 10-8 and a conference record of 5-3. The Golden Bears were picked to win the RSC in the Preseason, so the conference struggles are a bit of a surprise. WVU Tech have won their last two games and are a different animal on their home court with 7-1 record at home. The Golden Bears shoot the ball well from deep, as they are 16th in the nation in three-pointers made per game.

The Cougars are 4-4 all-time against West Virginia Tech.
