HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point University women's basketball team enters the final two weeks of the regular season looking to build momentum when it hosts Charleston Southern on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Millis Center.
 
The Panthers (15-10, 9-5) led 55-53 in the fourth quarter on Saturday afternoon at Presbyterian, but couldn't hold on falling 62-55. Meanwhile, the Bucs (10-15, 5-9) are riding a three-game losing streak into the Triad.
 
Quick Hitters
• Emma Bockrath, the reigning Big South Player of the Year, is averaging 20.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.3 steals per game of the team's last three contests. The junior has scored 20 points in five of HPU's last 12 games.
 
• High Point has had fewer turnovers than its opponent in 16 straight games going 11-5 over that stretch. The team is 12-6 when winning the turnover battle and leads the Big South and ranks 39th nationally with a plus-4.20 per game margin.
 
• During conference play Kat Harris leads the league hitting 37-of-40 (.925) of her free throw attempts. Over the past 12 games, she's made 31 of her last 32 offerings. She led the league in free throw shooting as a sophomore and would've as a junior but didn't have enough attempts to qualify.
 
• The Panthers are 14-4 when at least three players score in double figures this season.
 
• Camryn Brown leads the Big South and ranks 68th in the nation with 2.07 assists per turnover on the year.
 
• The Panthers are one win away from extending its streak of winning 10 games in Big South play to seven consecutive seasons, which is the second-longest streak in conference history.
 
• The Purple & White are the only squad in the Big South to have the same starting five in every game this season. Brown, Bockrath, Shea Morgan, Kennedy Currie and Lindsey Edwards have started all 25.
 
• Head coach DeUnna Hendrix has 73 Big South wins, which makes her the eighth winningest coach in league history. Meanwhile, her .664 winning percentage is the fourth-highest mark among coaches with 100 regular season league games.
 
• The Panthers are 73-36 against conference foes under Hendrix. That's the second-best mark in the league during her tenure at High Point trailing only Liberty and includes a 39-16 mark when playing Big South opponents inside the Millis Center.
 
• Through the first 19 games HPU made an average of 2.1 more three's per contest than they allowed while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown. However, in the last five the team is shooting 16.0 percent and losing the three-point battle by 2.2 per game.
 
1,000-Point Teammates?
• Bockrath became the 10th HPU D-I player to reach 1,000 points with her 21-point outing versus UNC Asheville.
 
• Harris has 988 points her in High Point career needing just 12 to join Bockrath in the 1,000-point club.
 
• The last time the Purple & White had teammates reach 1,000 points in the same season was when Cheyenne Parker and Erin Reynolds reached that threshold during the 2012-13 campaign.
 
Pacing the League in Points
• During Hendrix's five seasons at the helm for the squad is averaging 68.0 points per game. That's two points per contest higher than second-place Liberty (66.3 ppg).
 
• High Point led the conference in scoring last year with 68.3 points per game, which was the third time in five years that Hendrix's squad achieved the feat. HPU is currently on pace to make that four times in six seasons with its 3.4 edge over second-place Charleston Southern.
 
• During that span High Point joins Liberty as the only two programs to win at least 10 Big South contests every year.
 
All-Time Series with Charleston Southern
• High Point leads the all-time series with the Bucs by a 27-14 count. However, the Panthers haven't fended off a raid of their home court since 2015 and have lost three of their last four home games in the series.
 
• Five of the last nine meetings between HPU and CSU have been decided by one possession with the road team going 8-1 during that stretch.
 
Scouting the Bucs
Charleston Southern has dropped three straight heading into Tuesday. However, the Bucs are a veteran squad with only one underclassman playing more than 10 minutes per game while starting five juniors.
 
What to Watch
The score on Tuesday night could skyrocket as HPU's league-leading offense matches up with CSU's No. 2 scoring offense. But along with that, the teams rank seventh and sixth in scoring defense, respectively.
 
Last Time They Met
Brown stripped Shauntavia Dobson as she went up for a possible game-winning, buzzer-beating layup to secure a 75-74 victory for the Panthers. Bockrath was the game's leading scorer pouring in 25 points.
 
Next Up
The Panthers are back on the road on Saturday for an ESPN3 showdown at Gardner-Webb tipping at 2:00 p.m.
