The Opening Tip
•    Longwood hosts Gardner-Webb Saturday at 2 p.m. as part of a Longwood Alumni Family Game Day doubleheader in Willett Hall. Longwood alumni and their families are invited to campus for a day's worth of activities beginning at 11 a.m. in the Health & Fitness Center. The Longwood women's team follows the men's game with a 5 p.m. matchup against Presbyterian.
•    For the first time since the Dec. 9 game at VMI, Longwood was able to deploy its full guard trio of B.K. Ashe, Charles Glover and Isaiah Walton this past Wednesday against Presbyterian. Walton and Glover missed multiple games due to injury during that stretch, leaving Ashe as the only player to appear in all five games.
•    Longwood has used seven different starting lineups in 15 games this season.
•    Isaiah Walton is averaging 21.1 points per game at home this season.

Last Time Out
•    Presbyterian forward Francois Lewis went off for a career-high 25 points and sparked a second-half comeback that sent the Blue Hose to a 78-65 win over Longwood Wednesday. 
•    With Presbyterian trailing 31-28 at halftime, Lewis scored 13 points after the break and directed an offensive explosion that saw the Blue Hose pour in 50 points in the second half. 
•    The Blue Hose hit 8-of-9 field goals in the first seven minutes of the second half to turn Longwood's three-point lead into a 16-point Presbyterian lead.
•    Presbyterian's game-changing run spoiled a breakout return for Longwood's leading scorer Isaiah Walton, who scored 19 points in his first game back from a four-game hiatus.
•    Damarion Geter added 12 points, and freshman Jordan Cintron scored a career-high 10.
 
By The Numbers
•    Longwood is the only team in the Big South to have three players shooting better than .400 from three-point range (minimum 30 attempts). Isaiah Walton (.442 — 23-of-52), Charles Glover (.424 — 14-of-33) and JaShaun Smith (.410 — 16-of-39) all rank among the Big South's top 15 in three-point field goal percentage.
•    Isaiah Walton is Longwood's leading scorer in Willett Hall this season, averaging 21.1 points per game on his home court. In eight home games this season, Walton alone has accounted for 26.7 percent of Longwood's total scoring, despite missing one of those games with an injury.
•    Damarion Geter has become much more aggressive on the offensive end of the floor this season, averaging 4.8 field goal attempts and 3.5 free throw attempts per game this year, compared to 1.7 field goal attempts and 0.6 free throw attempts in his first three seasons. He is shooting career highs of .585 from the field and .579 from the line.
•    Freshman guard Kamil Chapman is the Big South's fourth-leading freshman scorer, averaging 7.5 points per game. Chapman has played in all 15 games, drawing five starts, and ranks second on the team in both made three-pointers (22) and three-point attempts (65).
•    Longwood's only three players to have played in all 15 games this season are B.K. Ashe, Kamil Chapman and JaShaun Smith. Longwood's active players have missed a combined 29 games this season due to injury.
