Sam Houston is coming off of two intense games with the comeback against the Texans and a thrilling double overtime loss to the Mavericks in Arlington.

Jordan Harrison was the second highest scorer for the Ladyjacks, posting 14 points. Avery Brittingham posted 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 assists.
SFA is looking to rebound with two of their final three games at home where they are 11-2 overall. The dynamic scoring duo of Johnson and Harrison have accounted for 706 points this season. Kurstyn Harden and Brittingham join Johnson and Harrison as the only other two Ladyjacks who have scored more than 200 points this season.

Three other Ladyjacks have made more than twenty three-pointers; Harrison has 33, Kyla Deck and Destini Lombard have 27.
