REDDIES REPORT
- Henderson (10-2, 5-1) picked up it's sixth-consecutive Great American Conference road win in Oklahoma dating back to last season on Thursday night when the Reddies dispatched of Oklahoma Baptist 86-62 at the Noble Complex in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

- The Reddies had four players score in double figures and were led by Hailey Estes, who had 21 points and nine rebounds.

- HSU is one of just two teams in the GAC at this point with five wins, joining the league frontrunners Southwestern Oklahoma State, who are 5-0 but have played one less game than the Reddies, who are 5-1 with three of those conference wins coming on the road. Henderson has not lost a GAC road game against an Oklahoma school since Nov. 18, 2017, when it fell 80-72 to SWOSU. The Reddies will go for their seventh-consecutive conference road win in the Sooner state on Saturday.

- Four players currently average double figures in scoring for HSU: Pink Jones (16.6 points per game), Estes (15.4 points per game), Blu Jones (11.9 points per game), and Karrington Whaley (10.9 points per game). HSU boasts the second-best scoring offense in the GAC (77.8 points per game).

- Saturday is the 13th meeting all-time between the two schools. HSU leads the series 8-4 and won both games against the Crimson Storm last season.
