The Opening Tip
•    Longwood will play its second road game in 48 hours Wednesday, taking on surging Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, at 5 p.m. EST. The Lancers will spend their lone day off traveling from Muncie, Ind., where they fell 61-45 at Ball State, to Lubbock, Texas to face the Red Raiders.
•    Longwood's two-game road trip will encompass more than 1,700 miles in four days, not including return trips home for the holidays.
•    The Lancers have endured a travel-heavy December, with five of their eight games this month away from home. Longwood has traveled to Indiana, Nebraska, North Carolina and Texas this month.
•    Longwood currently has just eight scholarship players available with Damarion Geter (foot), Jahleem Montague (knee) and Juan Munoz (knee) out with injuries and Kendrick Thompson out due to non-disciplinary personal reasons.

Last Time Out
•    Ball State sharpshooter Sean Sellers sparked a three-point barrage in the second half that opened a game-changing run and pushed Ball State to a 61-45 win over Longwood in a defensive battle Wednesday evening in Worthen Arena.
 •    After Ball State and Longwood exchanged blows throughout a low-scoring first half, Sellers and Ryan Webber knocked down four consecutive three-pointers to start a 10-minute, 27-6 run that turned Ball State's four-point halftime lead into double-digit advantage. 
•    Sellers finished with nine points as one of six Cardinals with at least eight points on the night.
•    Longwood held the Cardinals to season lows in field goal percentage and three-point percentage.
•    Freshman JaShaun Smith led Longwood with 11 points and four blocks, while Darrion Allen and Isaiah Walton scored 10 points apiece.
 
By The Numbers
•    Longwood's Big Three combination of guards Darrion Allen and Isaiah Walton and forward Khris Lane has combined for 62.6 percent of Longwood's scoring, or 42.0 points per game. All three average at least 13.3 points per game and have a combined 24 of Longwood's 33 double-figure scoring games. 
•    Longwood is 3-0 in games that forward Khris Lane has a double-double this season. 
•    The underclassman frontcourt duo of sophomore Chris Shields and freshman JaShaun Smith has combined for 15.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game over the past six games. They are shooting .488 (40-of-82) from the field and .476 (10-of-21) from long range during that span.
•    Smith has scored in double figures in four of his past seven games. Despite playing just five minutes in Longwood's first three games, he is the Big South's fourth-leading shot-blocker and the league's eighth-leading freshman scorer with 7.7 points per game.
•    Darrion Allen is just 163 points shy of reaching 1,000 points for his career. He would become the sixth Lancer of the Division I era to reach that plateau and the 21st in school history..
•    Allen leads the Big South with 34.9 minutes per game and is among the top 10 in scoring (5th, 15.3 ppg.), three-point percentage (2nd, .385), made three-pointers per game (2nd, 2.5), field goal percentage (8th, .430) and blocks (t-9th, 0.8 bpg.).
•    Allen has hit 15 consecutive free throws, raising his season free throw percentage to .857 (18-of-21) in the process. Allen shot .879 (58-of-66) from the charity stripe last season, which was the third-best clip in school history.
•    Isaiah Walton is one of only three players in the Big South averaging at least 10.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game, joining Campbell's Chris Clemons and Gardner-Webb's LaQuincy Rideau.
