The Opening Tip
•    Longwood opens February with a second straight road game, making the trek to Clinton, S.C., to face Presbyterian for the second time this season.
•    Presbyterian took the first matchup 78-65 in Farmville, but Longwood rebounded to win three of their next four Big South games following the loss. 
•    That last matchup against the Blue Hose was the first time Longwood reassembled its starting backcourt trio of B.K. Ashe, Charles Glover and Isaiah Walton after Glover and Walton missed four straight games apiece due to injuries.
•    Thursday's matchup comes after a five-day break that is Longwood's longest between games in Big South play this season.
•    In January, the Lancers held their opponents to 72.7 points per game, their lowest opponent scoring average in any month this season. Longwood also had its three highest-scoring games last month.

Last Time Out
•    A 17-point effort off the bench from Jaheam Cornwall and a 17-4 run over the final 8:24 propelled Gardner-Webb to a late 60-57 victory over Longwood Saturday afternoon at Paul Porter Arena.
•    The Runnin' Bulldogs knocked down five of their final seven shots and held the Lancers to just one made field goal on their final 10 attempts to complete the comeback and split the season series.
•    Cornwall finished the afternoon a perfect 7-of-7 from in just 16 minutes of action. His effort, alongside 20 points from David Efianayi and 11 from DJ Laster, was enough to outlast two Lancers who scored in double figures. 
•    Isaiah Walton turned in a team-high 16 points, while fellow guard B.K. Ashe added 10 points.
•    Damarion Geter extended his rebounding streak with 11 on the day, making it three straight contests with 10-plus boards.
 
By The Numbers
•    Longwood is one of only three Big South teams with three players shooting at least 40.0 percent from three-point range (min. 50 attempts), joining Charleston Southern and UNC Asheville. JaShaun Smith leads the team with a .420 (21-of-50) percentage, followed by Isaiah Walton (.414, 41-of-99) and Charles Glover (.405, 30-of-74).
•    Smith, a 6-5, 200-pound forward, is a career .439 (36-of-82) shooter from three-point range and has hit at least one trey in 18 of his 23 games.
•    Damarion Geter has led Longwood in rebounding in seven consecutive games and 11 times overall this season.
•    Geter has at least 10 rebounds in four of his past five games and is averaging 10.6 boards per game during that span. He had just one double-digit rebounding game entering the 2017-18 season.
•    Geter is the Big South's only player ranked among the top five in both rebounding and blocks.
•    Despite missing all but three games from 2015-17, Geter ranks eighth in school history with 70 career blocks. That number also ranks fifth on Longwood's Division I list and first among players coached by Jayson Gee.
•    Longwood has three players in their fifth season of college basketball, all at the Division I level. Those three include redshirt senior guards and Mount St. Mary's transfers B.K. Ashe and Charles Glover, and fourth-year Longwood team captain Damarion Geter. Combined, those three have played in 309 games and made 161 starts.
•    B.K. Ashe leads the Big South with 35.3 minutes per game, making him the third-most heavily used Lancer under head coach Jayson Gee. Only Darrion Allen in 2016-17 (36.3 mpg) and Quincy Taylor in 2014-15 (36.0) logged more minutes per game.
•    Isaiah Walton has scored in double figures in 10 consecutive games and in 16 of his 18 games overall this season.

Series History
•    Longwood and Presbyterian meet for the 11th time in series history and second time this season Thursday in Clinton, S.C. Presbyterian took the first meeting this season 78-65 in Farmville on Jan. 3, 2018.
•    Since the start of the 2014-15 season, Presbyterian holds a slim 4-3 advantage in the series. 
•    The teams split the regular-season series in 2014-15 and 2016-17, while Presbyterian swept the 2016-17 meeting.
•    Longwood is 1-3 against Presbyterian in Clinton, S.C., and 2-3 against the Blue Hose in venues outside of Farmville, Va. Longwood's last win Clinton came on Jan. 31, 2015 (71-67).
