ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Henderson State returns to the Duke Wells Center on Thursday to host GAC foe Northwestern Oklahoma State at 5:30 p.m.
REDDIES REPORT
Last time out, HSU(6-6, 3-3) fell to Southern Nazarene 63-47 inside the Sawyer Center. Little separated the two sides through the first two periods, with SNU leading 27-23 heading into halftime. After the break, a big second half by the Crimson Storm saw them pull away to a victory. Henderson finished the game shooting 26.8 percent from the floor, while Southern Nazarene shot 44.8 percent.
Sonni Martin led the team with a season-high 18 points against the Crimson Storm. The redshirt junior was 4-7 from deep, including a half-court shot made as the clock expired in the first period. JJ Eddens and Abbie Jiles each recorded a team-high six rebounds while scoring four and nine points, respectively.
Jill Thomas‘s team will face the number one scoring defense in the GAC against Northwestern Oklahoma State. This season the Reddies are averaging 67.2 points a game compared to NWOSU, who is only giving up 55.9 points per game. When Henderson has scored 70 or more points this season, the team is 4-0, including three conference victories, but when held to less, HSU is 2-6.
Through 12 games, the Reddies are shooting 36.5 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from the three-point line. Henderson is one of the more aggressive three-point shooting teams in the GAC, having attempted the third most shots from deep in the conference. When the Reddies have found success, they have hit big from deep, averaging 8.6 triples a game in their six wins.
In Thursday’s matchup, Henderson and Northwestern Oklahoma State will take the court for the 19th time. The Reddies have won seven straight home games over the Lady Rangers and lead the all-time series 11-7. The only loss HSU has to NWOSU inside the Duke Wells Center was a 99-97 defeat in the 2013-14 season. In the previous contest, HSU came away with an 87-78 victory over the Lady Rangers.
SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA STATE
The Lady Rangers faced Southern Arkansas and Arkansas-Monticello in their last round of matches. Northwestern Oklahoma State fell to the Muleriders 68-62 but returned to winning ways against the Blossoms, 59-52. After the two games, NWOSU sits 3-3 in GAC action with a 7-3 overall record.
Camille Thomas led the way for the Lady Rangers in the two games, scoring 25 points against SAU and 26 versus UAM. Thomas is shooting 61 percent from the floor this season on 82 attempts, which is second-best in the league. Northwestern Oklahoma State’s top shooter Faith Simpson is averaging 17.6 points a game and is one of four players averaging double-digit points.
NWOSU’s Carly Craig has picked out the open shooters all season for Lady Rangers, as the sophomore is averaging a league-high six assists per game. Along with providing the assists, Craig is third on the team in scoring (10.8) and second in steals (2.6).
WBB-D2: Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers (7-3) at Henderson State Reddies (6-6)
MBB-D2: Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers (5-5) at Henderson State Reddies (7-5)
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – After spending four days in Oklahoma, the Henderson State men’s basketball team returns to the confines of the Duke Wells Center for the season’s first meeting with Northwestern Oklahoma State Thursday, Jan. 12 at 7:30 p.m.
REDDIES REPORT
Henderson picked up its biggest win of the season during its most recent trip to the Sooner State, defeating Oklahoma Baptist, 75-72. The Reddies trailed by 11 points in the second half before mounting a comeback, thanks in part to Franck Kamgain scoring all 17 of his points in the final 20 minutes of game action. Tomislav Miholjcic recorded his second double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
After scoring 10 points against Southern Nazarene two days later, Kamgain became just the sixth HSU player in the Great American Conference era to have scored 10 or more points in 10 consecutive games. Kamgain, who leads the team with 13.7 points per game this season, is one point shy of having scored in double figures in all 12 games after putting up nine points against Minnesota St. in the second game of the season.
Henderson’s 48-point output against Southern Nazarene snapped a three-game scoring streak of 75 points or more for the Reddie offense. On defense, HSU continues to present one of the premier units in the league, holding teams to 67.1 points per game, which is fourth in the conference and 63rd out of 290 Division II teams.
Sitting at 4-2 in GAC play and fourth in the conference standings, Henderson has a chance to go on a bit of a run with five of their next seven opponents currently below .500 in the league. Those five teams have a combined GAC record of 8-22. Since the beginning of the 2021-22 season, HSU is 9-2 against those five programs, including winners of three of the last four against NWOSU.
The Reddies have enjoyed success over the Rangers since Jimmy Elgas took over head coaching duties in 2015. Under Elgas, HSU has never lost to Northwestern in Arkadelphia and has an 8-4 record against them in his seven full seasons. Thursday will be the nineteenth all-time meeting between the two programs with Henderson leading the series, 10-8.
SCOUTING NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA ST.
The Rangers come to Arkadelphia off its first conference win of the season after defeating Arkansas-Monticello, 82-74. That victory came at a much-needed time as NWOSU had lost five of their last six games prior to meeting the Boll Weevils. Thursday will be Northwestern’s third road GAC game of the season after dropping the first two away from Alva.
Northwestern does lay claim to Chaminade transfer Malik Parsons, the conference’s leading scorer. Through 10 games, Parson is averaging 22.6 points per game and has scored in double figures in each outing. The 6’3″ guard is shooting 54.2 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from long range. Graduate student guard Brian Free backs up Parsons with 14.9 points as the only other Ranger to average over 10 points.
With the help of Parsons and Free, Northwestern is averaging 76.8 points per game, which is third in the GAC. Where both NWOSU and HSU excel is on the offensive glass with the Rangers averaging 11.9 offensive boards per game to the Reddies’ 11.6 for third and fourth in the conference, respectively. The difference may come down to defensive rebounding, which Henderson holds the per-game edge, 25.4 to 23.9.

FLAMES LAST GAME RECAP
JANUARY 10, 2023 – CALGARY FLAMES [3] vs. ST. LOUIS BLUES 4
The Calgary Flames continued a five-game Central Division road trip on Tuesday night for their first of back-to-back games against the Blues. St. Louis opened the scoring under four minutes in after a Pavel Buchnevich pass deflected off Chris Tanev’s stick and an unfortunate bounce would put the Flames down early. But Calgary responded after Nazem Kadri feathered a perfect back door pass to a streaking Milan Lucic who tapped home his fourth of the season to draw the Flames level. Shortly after, a Nikita Zadorov shot was redirected by Mikael Backlund past Jordan Binnington to give the Flames their first lead of the night and things would stay that way heading into the intermission. In the second, the Flames would make it three unanswered goals as Andrew Mangiapane took a pass from skate to stick and ripped home his eighth of the season, making it 3-1 Calgary through 40. In the third, the Blues would battle back to tie the game thanks to goals from Nikita Alexandrov and Jordan Kyrou to send the game to overtime. In the extra frame, the Blues would score just 28 seconds in to win 4-3.

TONIGHT’S MATCHUP
Tonight, the Islanders host the Minnesota Wild in the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. The Islanders will look to earn their first win against Minnesota since December 29, 2019. It has been nearly a year since these teams last met on January 30, 2022 when Ross Johnston and Brock Nelson each scored, but the Islanders fell to the Wild, 4-3. Last season, the Islanders dropped both decisions to Minnesota in their two-game season series.
AGAINST THE CENTRAL DIVISION
Tonight, the Islanders will look to improve upon their 4-6-2 record against Central Division opponents, after collecting a point in the shootout against Dallas on Tuesday evening. Each of their last two games against Central teams have ended in a shootout (Jan. 10 vs. DAL, Dec. 19 at COL).
HOME STAND
Tonight, the Islanders play the second contest of a five-game home stand. They will play eight home games in the month of January, their busiest month this season.

In that span, they have outscored opponents 13-4 and allowed just one regulation goal each game. Tuesday night’s matchup saw the Islanders extend their point streak at home, as they collected a point in the shootout against Dallas. The Islanders are 8-4-1 at home since the beginning of November.
The Islanders are seven-for-seven on the penalty kill in their last four matchups at home. The Islanders have not allowed a power play goal on home ice since December 2 against Nashville, and they enter tonight’s matchup 89.4% on the penalty kill at UBS Arena, leading the NHL.
