Challenge at IUPUI

Oakland received a big boost Thursday after Valparaiso upset Oral Roberts. But, don't get ahead of things just yet.

While the key for the Grizzlies (13-10, 6-1) is to win out to claim the Mid-Continent Conference title, among the roadblocks are a season-finale at home against Oral Roberts and tonight's matchup at IUPUI (10-11, 3-4).

"It's a tough place to play," Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. "They don't have their best player (George Hill , broken foot), but they still have some fine players."

Oakland has four of its final six conference games at home.
