FIVE THINGS TO FOCUS ON
1 | Chap forward and reigning LSC Offensive Player of the Week Parker Hicks was the game's leading scorer and tied his season high with 24 points against the Patriots on Saturday.

So far this year, he leads the Chaps and ranks No. 5 in the Lone Star Conference with 21.7 points per game, and he is also fifth in the league with 8.7 rebounds per game.
2 | UT Tyler continued to struggle with their shooting from behind the arc on Saturday, making only four of their 22 attempts (18.2 percent). They rank dead-last in the LSC for three-point field goal percentage with a season average of 23.1 percent (24-104).
3 | Lubbock Christian has gotten at least one double-double performance in their first three games, with four recorded overall. Rowan Mackenzie was the first Chaparral to get two double-doubles, recording his second on Saturday with a career-high 22 points and 10 rebounds.

4 | Cameron Copley had a season-high 11 points on Saturday, but also dished out eight assists in the win. He is currently leading the league in assists per game at 8.3 and is a major reason why the Chaps are second in the LSC in assists per game as a team with 18.67.
