What to Know

The Longwood Lancers are staying on the road Saturday to face off against the Wichita State Shockers at 4 p.m. ET Dec. 10 at Charles Koch Arena. The Lancers should still be feeling good after a big win, while Wichita State will be looking to get back in the win column.

After constant struggles on the road, Longwood has finally found some success away from home. They put the hurt on the Delaware State Hornets with a sharp 75-49 victory.

Meanwhile, Wichita State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 55-50 to the Kansas State Wildcats. Guard Shammah Scott had a rough night: he finished with only six points on 3-for-12 shooting in his 31 minutes on the court.

Longwood is expected to lose this next one by 8. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Longwood's win brought them up to 5-4 while the Shockers' loss pulled them down to 4-4. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Lancers rank 15th in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 49.90% on the season. But Wichita State have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36.80%, which places them 13th in college basketball. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
