Key Players

Southeastern Louisiana Lions

• Isaiah Gaines: Contributes on both ends with about 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest; rebounds and second-chance opportunities matter for Southeastern Louisiana’s offense.
• Peter Hemschemeier: He leads the Lions with just 2.0 assists per game. The lack of consistent assists is a huge concern for SELA and Hemschemeier will try to up those numbers to help his team get a win.

East Texas A&M Lions

• Ronnie Harrison: East Texas A&M’s top scorer at around 15.1 points per game and a steady presence on the boards. Efficient scoring inside and from the mid-range will be a key factor.
• Supporting cast: East Texas A&M features additional contributors outside of Harrison, meaning scoring depth can wear down Southeastern Louisiana’s defense if shots fall consistently.
