Some interesting notes from the write up on Longwood's website:
• Longwood has totaled more assists than turnovers in nine of 11 games this season. The Lancers' 11.8 turnovers per game rank as the second-fewest in the Big South. • Leading the Big South in scoring offense (79.7 points per game) and ranks second in scoring defense (62.0 points allowed per game), Longwood is one of only two Big South schools ranked among the league's top five in both categories. Longwood leads the conference in scoring margin with an average of +17.7 points per game. • Only Iowa and Georgetown have scored more than 65 points against Longwood. The Lancers have held five teams to 55 points or fewer.
• The Lancers' +8.8 rebounding margin ranks 21st nationally, while their 14.0 offensive rebounds ranks 13th in the nation.
I could see this being similar to the Cal State Bakersfield game. This is another team with no real star, but balanced scoring. A team that wants to take care of the ball. Maybe not as much pressure from them like Cal State applies, but good team basketball.

What the hell was that shoulder check by Coryon. Can’t have an undisciplined foul like that from your leader.

This has been a strange game thus far.

Agreed. I don’t disagree that he may have been fouled on the shot but these refs are letting them play fairly physical so may not get those calls tonight.

13 fouls for both teams. Lots of whistles. They are good. Move the ball well, rebound well, play good defense. They don’t like our style of play that’s for sure.

Forced 16 turnovers in 1st half when Longwood averages just 11.8 per game. 6 steals vs a team known for taking care of the ball. Our 2 worst shooters are leading the scoring with 10 each. Rough and tumble game, gonna have to find some scoring from more players. Glad their coach got T'ed up. He has whined since the opening tip. Bonehead play by Coryon IMHO.

Apologies to Mahki Morris, he's one of our best shooters. My brain saw Miller with 10.

Both teams have multiple players with 3 or more fouls. Could have impact on last 12 minutes of game.

Hard-nosed defense. Lots of fouls and they are letting both teams get away with some. These teams remind me quite a bit of each other. This game will go down to the last minute.

Need to stretch this lead coming out of this timeout. We have played much better this past 10 minutes. They are really frustrated. Simmons being in the game matters after his early fouls. Damien played well thus far too.
