TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's basketball team returns to the road with a trip to archrival DePauw University on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

The Fightin' Engineers stand 0-2 on the season after falling twice in the competitive Case Western Reserve University Tipoff Tounament last weekend.  Rose-Hulman battled from a 14-point deficit to take the lead at Case Western on Friday, before falling 79-74.  On Saturday, 2014 NCAA Division III Tournament qualifier SUNY Geneseo picked up a 73-57 victory over the Engineers.

DePauw enters the matchup at 3-0 after receiving votes in the d3hoops.com preseason National Top 25 poll.  The Tigers have wins over Franklin, Anderson and Otterbein on the young season.

Senior Corey Povaleri earned a spot on the all-tournament team at Case Western Reserve to lead the Fightin' Engineer performance last weekend.  Povaleri averages 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.  Sophomore Collin Wojcik also averaged double figures at 11.0 points per contest.

DePauw features a balanced scoring attack with eight players averaging five or more points per game.  Tommy Fernitz (16.0 ppg, 11.3 rpg) and Bob Dillon (9.7) lead the Tiger scoring attack, which features a defensive effort allowing just 51.3 points per game.

After Tuesday's game, Rose-Hulman returns to action at Wabash College on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
