The Opening Tip
• Longwood plays the second of three straight games inside Willett Hall, as the Lancers welcome UNC Asheville on New Year's Eve and resume Big South play Thursday, Dec. 31 at 2 p.m.
• The game will be Longwood's first conference bout since dropping the early Big South opener 90-66 at High Point on Dec. 2. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs earned an 80-60 victory over Campbell in their early conference opener.
• In its three previous Big South home-openers, Longwood is 1-2, as the Lancers earned a 90-79 double OT win over Radford last season.
• Sophomore guard Kanayo Obi-Rapu (13.0 ppg., 2.5 rpg.) is day-to-day with a leg injury suffered at George Mason. The sophomore has missed two straight games since leaving in the first half of Longwood's contest against the Patriots.

Last Time Out
• Led by five double-figure scorers and a dou­ble-double from Shaquille Johnson, Longwood routed Cairn 90-52 in the final non-conference game of the season Monday evening at Willett Hall.
• Johnson neared a triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in 26 minutes of ac­tion to lead a Longwood team that outscored the visiting Highlanders 54-23 after halftime.
• Two of Johnson's career-high seven assists went to center Lotanna Nwogbo, who threw down four dunks and scored 14 points.
• Nwogbo and Johnson were two of Longwood's five double-figure scorers, joining Khris Lane who netted a team-high 16 points, Darrion Allen who had 14, and Chris Shields who added 11 off the bench.

By The Numbers
• In its win over Division III foe Cairn, Longwood had a season-high five players in double figures. It marked the first game in which five Lancers had scored in double figures since Longwood earned an overtime win over UNCG last season.
• Leron Fisher is one of only five Big South players averaging at least 10.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He ranks second in the confer­ence with 4.4 assists per game, seventh with a 1.4 assist-to-turnover ratio, 13th with 1.2 steals per game and 22nd with 11.6 points per game.
• Fisher, who led the Big South in steals and steals per game last season, has recorded at least one steal in nine straight games.
• Redshirt sophomore forward Khris Lane leads all Big South big men with 29.8 minutes per game. The 6-6, 235-pound Drexel transfer is one of only two players in the league averaging at least 10.0 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.
• Longwood Big South Preseason All-Conference center Lotanna Nwogbo is one of only two Big South players averaging at least 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. He joins reign­ing Big South Player of the Year John Brown of High Point on that list.
• A transfer prior to the 2013-14 season, Nwogbo has scored in double figures in 22 of his 29 games as a Lancer. He is averaging 13.5 points per game in his two seasons at Longwood, compared to the 1.9 he averaged in two seasons at Tulane.
• Senior forward Shaquille Johnson has recorded three double-doubles in his three games since re­turning to the lineup. A 2015 Big South All-Tourna­ment Team selection, the 6-5, 220-pound Johnson has four double-doubles in his past six games dat­ing back to the 2014-15 season.
• Junior guard Darrion Allen has nine blocks, tied for the most among all Big South guards.
