Southeast Heats Up
Southeast is on a season-long four-game winning streak and has heated up to win seven of its last 10 contests. The Redhawks concluded January with a 5-3 record, their best mark for any month this year. Southeast's four-game winning streak is its longest since winning five in a row during the 2013-14 campaign.

First in the OVC West
The Redhawks currently share first-place in the Ohio Valley Conference West Division with Murray State. Southeast and MSU have identical 6-3 OVC records, but the Redhawks own the tiebreaker after beating the Racers, 75-74, in Murray on Jan. 26.

On the Road Again
Southeast plays its third-straight road game when it visits Jacksonville State Wednesday. The Redhawks recently snapped a 10-game losing streak outside of Cape Girardeau with their 75-74 win at Murray State (Jan. 26). Southeast is on a two-game road winning streak and goes after its third-straight when it faces Jacksonville State. A win Wednesday would give the Redhawks a three-game road winning streak in Ohio Valley Conference play for the first time since 2004-05 (won at UT Martin, Murray State, Eastern Illinois).

Series History
Jacksonville State holds a 13-6 lead in its all-time series against Southeast. The Gamecocks and Redhawks went 4-4 in the last eight meetings. The away team won each of the last two games of the series. Southeast beat JSU, 69-52, in Jacksonville on Jan. 14, 2015 and JSU beat Southeast, 74-60, on Jan. 13, 2016 in Cape Girardeau.

Back-to-Back-to-Back OVC Freshman of the Week

He shot 50 percent (7-of-14) from the field, 62.5 percent (5-of-8) from 3-point range and was a perfect 14-of-14 at the free throw line.
