ABOUT THE SERIES VS DENVER
 The all-time series between Seattle U and Denver holds at an even 4-4, and dates back to the 1956-57 season. The teams face off four times in the 60s, but would not meet again until 2009-10, when the Pioneers edged the Redhawks 84-83 in Denver. The two teams played twice during the 2012-13 season as they were briefly conference foes within the WAC. Denver won both meetings that year before departing the WAC for the Summit League.

ABOUT THE SERIES VS FAIRFIELD
This marks the first all-time meeting between Seattle U and Fairfield of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

ABOUT THE SERIES VS LONGWOOD

LAST TIME OUT
Free throws and foul trouble halted the Redhawks’ win streak on Sunday, Nov. 18 as the Redhawks dropped a 73-70 decision to unbeaten Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds would go 21-27 from the charity stripe while Seattle U was just 3-8 in the contest. Delante Jones finished with a season-high 16 points, including 14 in the first half.
