History between Lubbock Christian and Rogers State
The Hillcats have won 12 of the 17 meetings against the Chaps dating to 2008. RSU earned victories in the first eight matchups before LCU chalked up their first win in the series in 2011. The Chaps have taken four of the last six meetings, but the Hillcats secured both wins last season.
Last meeting amongst the teams
Claremore, Okla. (February 14, 2015) – Lubbock Christian fell out of first place within the Heartland Conference following a 74-59 loss to Rogers State on Saturday afternoon at the Claremore Expo Center in spite of Isaac Cardona tying a career-high with 21 points.
Beau Durham tallied a dozen points for the Chaps, while Frederico Santos collected game-highs of 19 points and 16 rebounds for the Hillcats.
LCU statistical rankings
Through games on January 12, the Chaps stake claim to the 17th-best defense in the nation by allowing just 66.4 points per game from their opponents. By holding their foes to 40.1 percent shooting from the field, the Chaps are 20th-best.
On the offensive end, LCU leads the conference in assist to turnover ratio (1.41), good enough for 25th in the country, while their 17.1 assists per game ranks 26th throughout Division II.
Shared scoring of the Chaps
During LCU's 14 contests of 2015-16, seven Chaps have stepped up to lead the squad in scoring. Tyler Rogers has tallied top honors six times; A.J. Luckey has on five occasions, while Isaac Cardona did twice. Ridrell Holman, Matthew Alford, Marcos Schuster and Marcus Arrington each have notched a team-high in points once.
The awakening of Arrington
Junior Marcus Arrington's numbers have dramatically improved from the 2014-15 season. This year, the Carlsbad, N.M., native has more than doubled his scoring average (4.1 to 9.2 ppg) while upping his assists average from 4.1 to 4.8 and his rebounds from 2.5 to 3.9 per game.
Arrington's marksmanship from the floor has climbed 25-percent on field goals, nearly tripled from the three-point line and gone up seven percent from the charity stripe.
In addition to tallying game-high scoring honors once this season, the point guard has also twice corralled a team-high in rebounds along with a squad-best in assists 10 times.
