Southeast Missouri Game Notes

Quick Hits

Show Me Center Showdown
Southeast (14-11, 9-4) hosts league-leading and No. 14/16 Murray State (24-1, 12-1) in its final home game of the season Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m., CT, at the Show Me Center.

First-Timer
Murray State is the first-ever nationally-ranked team to play at the Show Me Center. Southeast is 0-9 all-time against nationally-ranked teams.

Senior Day
Seniors Zach House, Logan Nutt, Marcus Brister and Leon Powell will suit up for their final home game at Southeast Wednesday. House, Nutt, Brister and Powell will be honored during a special presentation prior to tip-off.

Home Cookin'
Southeast has won six of its last seven games at home and is currently 10-3 at the Show Me Center this year. The Redhawks posted 10 home victories in a season for the first time since 2004-05 (10-4).

On Target
One more win will guarantee Southeast its first winning season since 2004-05. The Redhawks are 14-11 overall and 9-4 in Ohio Valley Conference play. Southeast went 15-14 and 9-7 in the OVC under-then head coach Gary Garner during its last winning campaign in 2004-05.

Let's Get Another
Another Ohio Valley Conference victory will give the Redhawks 10 league wins in a season for only the fourth time in school history and first since Southeast tied for first in the conference with a 14-4 record in 1999-00. That year also marked the Redhawks lone NCAA Tournament appearance. Southeast has gone 11-consecutive seasons with no more than nine OVC wins.

Smith Nets 30
Two days after scoring 1,000 career points, junior guard Marland Smith matched a career-high 30 points at SIU Edwardsville (Feb. 11). Smith made 8-of-12 field goals, 4-of-8 three-pointers and 10-of-12 free throws against the Cougars. He set season-highs in points, free throws made and rebounds (9) in that game. Smith also scored 30 points vs. Tennessee State on Feb. 25, 2010.
