FIVE THINGS TO KNOW

Arkansas State hosts NAIA foe Williams Baptist at 5 p.m. to tip off a women's-men's doubleheader. It will mark the first meeting between the two programs, which are separated by just over 31 miles. WBU will become the closest opponent in program history.
Thursday's game at Arkansas-Pine Bluff was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns within the UAPB program, meaning A-State is slated to play a program-record 10 consecutive home games to open the 2020-21 season.
Peyton Martin has come off the bench in the first two games of the season, averaging 17.0 points per game, including a career-high 28 and eight rebounds versus SIU Edwardsville on Dec. 2.

Her 3-point FG percentage of 85.7 percent is a single-game high for a Sun Belt player this season.
