Quick Hits
 
What a win will do
A win will give Southeast its first-ever win over Arkansas in its first meeting and its third-ever win over an SEC school.
 
A win also snaps a three-game losing streak.
 
Have yourself a night Kara Wright
Kara Wright had a career night at Missouri scoring 26 points and making four 3-point baskets. Her 9-made field goals was also a career-high.
 
Bench Warmers?
The Southeast Missouri bench provides a supreme boost once they enter the game. Southeast outscored the opponents bench in the first four games 37-10, 21-10, 29-11 and 38-28 in game chronological order, respectively. Southeast was outscored by Missouri's bench 18-15 and tied Wichita State 14-14.
 
Spark Plug from that Bench
Olivia Hackmann, who started the first five games on the bench, scores 11.0 points per game off the bench.
 
Long ball is Good
Kara Wright ranks second in the OVC with a 3-point field goal percentage of .545 as she is 6-for-11 for the year. Molly Heady of Tennessee Tech leads the OVC at .653.
 
A Thing for Boards
The Redhawks are tied for the best rebound margin in the OVC at +4.7. Southeast secures 43.0 rebounds per game and gives up 38.3.
 
Southeast also has the leagues best defensive rebound percentage, claiming 72.2 percent of the available rebounds.
 
Take a Freebie
Allyson Bradshaw is a perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line. After missing Saturday's contest, she no longer qualifies for the OVC standings, but can re-enter in the future. Currently, not a single OVC athlete eligible is perfect from the charity stripe.
 
Preseason Accolades
After averaging 10.6 points in conference play (8.5 overall) as a freshman, Kara Wright was voted onto the preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference team by the league's coaches and sports information directors. The Louisville, Ky., native is the lone underclassman on the preseason all-conference team. She earned a spot on the OVC All-Newcomer team, the first Redhawks to earn postseason All-OVC honors since the 2008-09 season.
