Five Things to Know

1. Call Me Mabee
   Little Rock will be making its first trip to the Mabee Center on the Oral Roberts University campus since Nov. 24, 2015 and will be facing the Golden Eagles for the first time since Dec. 1, 2016. The Trojans will be looking to extend a five-game winning streak in the series.
2. Limit the Mistakes
   With an average of just 15.0 turnovers per game, Little Rock is in the top third in the nation - ranking 78th overall - in the fewest turnovers it is committing per game. That also includes an 18.8% turnover rate, a mark that ranks 115th in the country. The turnover rate is the percentage of plays where a turnover is committed.
3. You Can't Stop the Lique
   Angelique Francis will not be denied. The junior forward is in the top 10% in the country in all manners of rebounding, particularly in total rebounds and defensive rebounds. Additionally, her turnover rate of 0.2 per game ranks 52nd in the nation. You can try going up against her for the ball, but we don't advise it.
4. Caicedo Approaching the Top 10
   Little Rock point guard Mayra Caicedo enters this game needing only 30 assists to reach the top-10 in Little Rock's record book for career assists. The Buga, Colombia native has 205 assists entering this game after recording her 200th career assist in Little Rock's 57-49 win over Auburn. She needs only 13 assists to match Taylor Gault's 2018 assists to rank 12th in school history.
5. You Didn't Realize Mayra was This Fast
   Mayra Caicedo is fast, really fast. But she set a new standard for speed becoming the fastest player in Little Rock history to record 200 career assists. Caicedo recorded her 200th career assist in a 57-49 win over Auburn on Nov. 24, 2021, her 31st game played in the Maroon and Silver. That was faster than Heather Morris recording her 200th career assist in her 47th game played.
