LIVE COVERAGE LINKS | GAME NOTES

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Henderson State heads west for its final Oklahoma road trip of the year on Thursday when it treks to Durant, Oklahoma to face off with Southeastern Oklahoma at 7:30 p.m. 

REDDIES REPORT
- The Reddies are coming off of two heart-stopping wins over Northwestern Oklahoma and East Central on Saturday and Monday. HSU got a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Alvin Miles to defeat NWOSU and then defeated ECU 70-69 on Monday night in overtime. Henderson is now 11-7 in the GAC and in fifth place in the league standings with four conference contests remaining. 

- Miles has come on for HSU in a big way over the last month. The sophomore from Memphis has come off the bench and scored in double figures in seven-straight games. He hit the game-winning shot against Northwestern Oklahoma and converted two free throws with 4.2 seconds left to help the Reddies beat ECU. Miles is now averaging 9.7 points per game and is the team-leader in assists with an average of three per game.

- As a team, Henderson has proven to be incredibly resilient this season. The Reddies have won 12 games this year in which they trailed at some point in the second half. HSU trailed at halftime in nine of those contests and erased double digit deficits in three of them. In total, the Reddies are 9-2 in games decided by five points or less.

- HSU is No. 1 in the GAC in field goal percentage defense (40.6%) and steals (8.06 per game), No. 2 in turnover margin (+2.0) and offensive rebounding (11.5 per game), and No. 3 in scoring defense (65.9) and 3-point field goal percentage defense (32.2%).

- Thursday is the 29th meeting all-time between HSU and Southeastern. The Reddies lead the series 18-10 and have won the last two matchups dating back to 2020.

SCOUTING SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA STATE
- The Savage Storm enter Thursday night's contest 17-5 overall and 12-4 in GAC play. Southeastern is in sole possession of second place in the conference standings. SOSU is 8-1 at home this year and 36-6 overall in Durant, Oklahoma since 2018-19. The Savage Storm's only home loss this year came in double overtime to ECU, 115-113.

- Southeastern has the top scoring offense in the GAC by a wide margin and averages 84.4 points per game in conference play — nearly 10 more points than the next-closest team. SOSU also leads the league in scoring margin (+10.56), field goal percentage (47.2%), and 3-point field goal percentage (38.7%).

- SOSU is led by guard Adam Dworsky, who averages 17.5 points and a GAC-best seven assists per game. Since Southeastern lost to HSU, Dworsky has been on a tear. The senior has scored 20-plus points in four of the Savage Storm's last six games.
