ROLLA, Mo. -- Missouri S&T will play its final non-conference game of the 2019-20 season and last game of the decade of the 2010s Tuesday night when it faces Northeastern State in Tahlequah, Okla.  Game time is at 7 p.m.

The Miners, who have not played since Dec. 3, are coming off a victory in their Great Lakes Valley Conference opener when they posted a 72-59 win over Maryville that puts them at 2-4 overall heading into Tuesday's contest.

Dulan Scott (Chicago, IL/Farragut Academy) scored a season-high 21 points and pulled down nine rebounds for S&T in the win over the Saints and comes into the game as the Miners' leading scorer on the season with an average of 15.5 points per game.  Scott is one of three double figure scorers for S&T on the year, as CJ Hedgepeth (Evansville, IN/Harrison) is averaging 11.5 points a game and Mitch Fairless (St. Charles, MO/Duchesne) comes in with a mark of 10.7 points per contest.

Chima Oduocha (Hoffman Estates, IL/Conant) is averaging nine points per game and leads S&T with his 7.8 rebounds per outing.  Fairless leads the Miners with 16 assists, while Hedgepeth has 14 assists and a team-best nine steals.  Missouri S&T is holding its opponents to just 31.9 percent shooting from three-point range, while making 28 three-point baskets over its last two games, the most by a Miner team since the 2003-04 campaign.

Caleb Smith, who had 25 points in the RiverHawks' 80-65 win over S&T last December in Rolla, leads the team in scoring with an average of 15.9 points per game.  Smith is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field for a team that is making 48.7 percent of its field goal tries this season and is joined in double figures in the scoring column by Kendrick Thompson, who is averaging 11.3 per game.
