Harding and Texas A&M-Commerce will play for the second time in four days Thursday at The Field House in Commerce, Texas. The game begins at 7:30 p.m.

Texas A&M-Commerce won the first of the two meetings 89-87 on Monday in Searcy, Arkansas. De'Andre Carson made a 3-pointer with less than one second remaining to give the Lions the victory. Will Francis led Harding with a career-high 35 points, hitting seven 3-pointers.

Harding head coach Jeff Morgan is one victory away from 400 in his career. He would become only the 30th active coach in NCAA Division II with 400 or more wins.

Harding will play the rest of the season without leading scorer and preseason all-American Andraz Kavas. He injured his left knee at the 15:00 mark of the first half of Monday's game. Kavas was averaging 20.9 points and 6.6 rebounds.

The last time Harding played the same opponent in consecutive games was during the 2004-05 season. Harding won back-to-back games over Alabama-Huntsville, winning 90-74 in Huntsville on Nov. 29 and 66-59 in Searcy on Dec. 4.
