ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH (3-1)
LA Tech grabbed its first road win of the season this past Friday with a convincing 83-64 win at Northwestern State.  The Demons scored the first two points of the game, but the Bulldogs responded with a 15-0 run and had the lead in double figures the rest of the way.
 
Kenneth Lofton, Jr. and Amorie Archibald each recorded a season-high 17 points in the win.  For Lofton, Jr., it was his second straight double-double (and 11th of his career) as he also pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds.  Archibald connected on three triples, helping him move up to 29th on LA Tech's all-time career scoring list.   
 
Keaston Willis made his first career start as a Bulldog, netting 15 points.  The Incarnate Word transfer has registered 15+ points in three of the four games this season. 
 
All three of these Bulldogs are averaging double-digit points with Lofton leading the way at 13.5 points and 9.8 boards per contest.  Archibald (11.3) and Willis (12.8) have combined to make 18 of the team's 33 three-pointers.
 
ABOUT ULM (2-2)
After losing big on the road to SEC opponents LSU and Auburn, ULM has won big against Champion Christian (114-59) and Northwestern State (96-66). 
 
Six Warhawks scored in double figures in the 30-point victory over the Demons.  They ended up forcing 25 turnovers and racked up 15 steals in the blowout.  They are averaging 12.0 steals per game, which ranks 10th in the country.
