The Opening Tip
•    Longwood continues a three-game homestand Wednesday, hosting Bluefield State in Willett Hall at 7 p.m. 
•    Six of the Lancers' first eight games are at home this season. Following the conclusion of the current homestand, Longwood plays five of its next six games on the road, including trips to Illinois, Arizona State and Grand Canyon.
•    Longwood posted the 44th 100-point game in program history the last time out, routing visiting N.C. Wesleyan 107-78. That was the highest-scoring game of head coach Jayson Gee's six-year tenure and tied for the 18th-most points in school history.
•    Longwood has had at least six players out due to injury in three straight games. 
•    In five seasons Gee, Longwood is 12-0 against non-Division I team s, including 1-0 this season.

Last Time Out
•    Longwood erupted for the program's highest-scoring performance of head coach Jayson Gee's five-year tenure by routing N.C. Wesleyan 107-78 Sunday afternoon in Willett Hall.
•    Bolstered by five double-digit scorers and a career-high 31 points from redshirt senior B.K. Ashe, the Lancers broke out for their first triple-digit game in three years. The 107 points were the most Longwood has scored in any of Gee's 135 games coaching the Lancers, as were the 43 made field goals and .672 shooting percentage.
•    All five Longwood starters scored in double digits with Ashe scoring 31, Isaiah Walton 22, Charles Glover 18, JaShaun Smith 15 and Chris Shields 10.
•    Longwood shoot better than 65 percent in both halves while dishing a season-high 20 assists and giving up a season-low eight turnovers.

By The Numbers
•    Longwood has surrendered just 17 turnovers in the past two games (8.5 tog.), compared to 78 in the first four games (19.5 tog.).
•    Longwood's backcourt trio of B.K. Ashe, Charles Glover and Isaiah Walton combine to average 43.1 points per game. They are the third-highest scoring guard trio in the Big South, trailing only Campbell's Chris Clemons, Marcus Burk and Cory Gensler (51.6 ppg.), and High Point's Andre Fox, Jahaad Proctor and Brandon Kamga (51.0 ppg).
•    Both Walton (No. 3) and Ashe (No. 7) rank among the Big South's top 10 in points per game and field goal percentage. 
•    Ashe has registered three steals in three consecutive games after failing to swipe any in his first three games. 
•    Walton has scored at least 20 points in three of his first five games this season, ranking second in the Big South in 20-point games.
•    Walton is averaging 22.5 points per game at home this season, including three 20-point games. He is shooting .458 (11-of-24) from long range at home.
•    Longwood and Campbell are the only teams in the Big South to have multiple players post 30-point games. Walton scored 32 points against Columbia on Nov. 14, and Ashe went off for 31 against N.C. Wesleyan on Nov. 26. 
•    True freshman guard Kamil Chapman has hit at least one three-pointer in four straight games. He is shooting .389 (7-of-18) from long range and averaging 7.5 poins per game during that stretch. Ashe has played at least 19 minutes in each of his past four games.
•    Redshirt senior B.K. Ashe has heated up over his past three games, leading Longwood with 22.7 points per game during that stretch. He is coming off back-to-back 20-point games, including the first 30-point game of his career against N.C. Wesleyan on Sunday.
