LIVE VIDEO | LIVE STATS | LIVE RADIO BROADCAST | GAME NOTES

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - Henderson State plays its final road game of the season on Saturday afternoon when the Reddies face Northwestern Oklahoma State at 1 p.m. in Alva, Oklahoma.

REDDIES REPORT
- Henderson (17-8, 12-7)  is looking to bounce back after falling 86-77 on Thursday night to No. 7 Southwestern Oklahoma State. The Reddies trailed by 20 points at the half before cutting the deficit to five in the fourth quarter, but could not climb all the way back. 

- With three games remaining in the regular season, the Reddies are alone in fifth place in the GAC standings -- one game back of three teams tied at 13-6 in the league and two full games ahead of Southeastern Oklahoma State, who is in sixth. HSU has clinched its spot in the GAC Tournament field.

- Pink Jones, who leads the team with 15.5 points per game, has scored 20 or more in four of Henderson's last five games, including 20 against SWOSU on Thursday night. Jones has scored in double figures in 20 contests this season and is second in the GAC in assists per game (4.6). She is one of just three players in the conference with 100 or more assists this year and has shot more free throws (132) than any guard in the league.

- Lexis Weber had her best game of the season on Thursday night despite the loss to the Lady Bulldogs. Weber got her fourth start of the year and posted season-highs with 13 points and 14 rebounds in 22 minutes of action.

- The Reddies won the first matchup with Northwestern Oklahoma this season in Arkadelphia 59-53. HSU used a 17-5 second quarter to pull away before holding on to win late. Henderson out-rebounded the Lady Rangers 40-30 in the first meeting.

SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA
- The Lady Rangers of Northwestern Oklahoma State come into Saturday's game 11-15 on the year and 8-11 in GAC action. They have won their last two games and five of their last seven overall. NWOSU is two games up on Oklahoma Baptist for the eighth and final spot in the GAC Tournament. 

- Sophomore forward Bailey Brown and junior guard Kalea King are No. 10 and No. 11 in scoring in the GAC, respectively. Brown averages 14.3 points in conference play and is the leading rebounder in the league (9.1 per game), while King averages 14.2 points per game.

- NWOSU has the third-best turnover margin in the GAC (+2.21) and is third in the conference in steals per game (9.0). The Lady Rangers struggle, however, defensively, where they are 10th in the league in field goal percentage defense (43.7 percent shooting for opponents) and ninth in scoring defense (68.9 points per game to opponents).
