That won't be the case in February, where SEMO will be at home for five of its eight games. The Redhawks are on a three-game home stand to begin the month hosting Western Illinois (Feb. 3), Tennessee Tech (Feb. 8) and Tennessee State (Feb. 10) over that period.

The Redhawks put five players in double figures for the first time this season. Evan Eursher and Rob Martin led the way with 16 points, Josh Earley had 14, BJ Ward added 13 and Braxton Stacker finished with 11.

Where They Stand
With Thursday's win, Southeast Missouri moved into a tie for eighth in the Ohio Valley Conference standings. SEMO and Southern Indiana share that spot with 3-8 league records.

The Redhawks ended a four-game losing streak when they beat Tennessee Tech (Feb. 8).

Ward Produces
Freshmen BJ Ward scored double figures off the bench in two-straight games. Ward recently had a season-high 13 points against Tennessee Tech (Feb. 8). Prior to that, he scored double figures for the first time in his career with 11 points vs. Western Illinois (Feb. 3).

3-Pointer Streak
