The IUPUI Jaguars men's basketball team is the men's basketball team that represents Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The school's team currently competes in The Summit League. The team last played in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament in 2003. The Jaguars are currently led by head coach Jason Gardner. In 2008, guard George Hill skipped his final year of eligibility and entered the NBA Draft where he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs, becoming the first player drafted from IUPUI.[2]
