Forever Video Productions is slated to webcast all of the action for fans who can't make the games.

The Concordia women's team (6-6, ASC 5-4) is riding a three-game winning streak, its first since the 2008-09 season. After defeating Texas-Dallas, 66-61, Ozarks, 84-65 and Mary Hardin-Baylor by a 66-62 score, the team enters this week's action in a three-way tie for third place in the American Southwest Conference West Division.

The Concordia men (7-6, ASC 5-4), who lead the league in scoring offense (88.0 ppg), are tied for fourth in the ASC West Division after losing two of their three home games this past week. The Tornados most recently dropped a 107-100 overtime decision to Mary Hardin-Baylor, a team receiving votes in the d3hoops.com national poll, to fall just short of sweeping a season series against the Cru for the first time in program history. Sophomore point guard Tayler Jacobs has had the hot hand lately, averaging 21 points, five assists and over two steals during the last three games. He netted a career high for points in the last two, scoring 21 against Ozarks before exploding for 33 against Mary Hardin-Baylor. In addition to leading the team in scoring (14.2 ppg), Jacobs also ranks second in the league in assists (4.3) and free throw percentage (.893). Junior forward Josh Johnson averaged 13 points last week and is scoring at a 10.8 clip while ranking tied for third in the conference with 1.3 blocked shots per game. Nick Haynes, who adds 11.1 points per contest, continues to be one of the league's top three-point shooting threats.

Despite ranking sixth in the ASC West Division standings, the Texas Lutheran women's squad (4-8, ASC 3-5) will enter Thursday night's action having won three of its last four games, which included a triple-overtime victory over Schreiner. The Bulldogs have been paced by Tamisha Timpson, a returning all-conference player who leads the team in three of the major five statistical categories. The junior forward averages 13.8 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per contest, while her assists mark ranks third in the ASC. She also pulls down 7.3 rebounds, which is second on the squad. Rebecca Valdez, a junior forward, also nets double figures (10.3 ppg) to go along with 5.8 boards and a team-leading 0.7 blocks per game. Junior guard Kimberly Hagan has added 21.5 points and 7.5 rebounds over the last two contests.

The Texas Lutheran men's team (5-6, ASC 4-4), which ranks second in the league in scoring defense (66.4 ppg) and is tied for sixth place in a crowded ASC West Division, has won four of its last six games and has a 2-1 record during its current five-game homestand. Isaac Williams leads the team in scoring (12.1 ppg) and rebounding (7.4 pg). He is also fourth in the conference in steals (2.1 pg). A notable addition to the lineup has ben Henry Flores.

Senior guard Malcolm Dotson contributes 6.6 points and 2.9 assists per match.

The Schreiner women (4-8, ASC 2-6), who find themselves in seventh place in the ASC West, have earned a pair of two-point conference victories over Ozarks, 51-49, and LeTourneau, 60-58, this season.
