On The Horizon

9.) Jalen Jackson – Purdue Fort Wayne

After back-to-back seasons with a winning record but falling short in either Horizon League play or the conference tournament, the Mastodons are back with a vengeance, off to a 13-3 start despite being picked eighth in the preseason poll. With a new cast of transfer contributors in this offseason, Jackson has been critical to Purdue Fort Wayne’s early success averaging a team-leading 15.1 PPG.
Shooting 52% from the field and 43% from deep, Jackson’s consistency has been evident throughout the season with 13 points to upset DePaul, 19 points in a win over Green Bay, and recently notching a career-high 24 points over Wright State. The Mastodons have a 4-1 record in conference play thus far and the UIC transfer has been a major factor in leading this offense. Look for him and Division II transfer Rasheed Bello to finally break through for PFW in the Horizon League Tournament later this season.

Bubble Watch: How many bids can the Atlantic 10 get?-- Mid-Major Madness

The At-Large Candidates
Green Bay Phoenix

Record: 11-3 | NET: 36 | SOS: 93

Charlie Creme Projection: 10 seed

Last Week: Won at Northern Kentucky 86-56, Won at Wright State 75-63 | This Week: Jan. 11 vs. Youngstown State, Jan. 13 vs. Robert Morris

Good Wins: at Creighton (NET 26), vs. Washington State (NET 22), vs. Cleveland State (NET 89) | Bad Loss: at Northern Iowa (NET 179)

Green Bay hasn’t lost in over a month, and with a pair of wins against power conference teams, the Phoenix are in a good spot. That loss to Northern Iowa still stings, but as long as they don’t slip up anywhere else, they should be in a good spot. Two-bid Horizon, anyone
