ALL-TIME SERIES 
Saturday's matchup is the first meeting between Arkansas Tech and Graceland. 

SCOUTING THE YELLOWJACKETS
Graceland, an NAIA institution from Lamoni, Iowa, enters Saturday's matchup with a 4-3 record and a two-game winning streak. Tech is the lone Division II program on Graceland's schedule this year. The Yellowjackets are sharp-shooters from beyond the arc, ranking 13th in the NAIA in 3-pointers made this season with 67. Guard Jordan Dembley (14.4 ppg) leads the way offensively, but Ben Grygiel (12.7 ppg), Frank Cimino (12.3 ppg), and Division I transfer RJ Williams (10.4 ppg/Missouri State) provide punch to an offense that averages 87.9 points per contest. 

SCOUTING THE WONDER BOYS
Arkansas Tech is off to a 2-0 start after a pair of conference wins to open the season. This non-conference matchup will serve as a tuneup for the Wonder Boys, who will resume GAC play this coming weekend at Oklahoma Baptist and Southern Nazarene. The Wonder Boys have averaged 84.5 points per game while holding opponents to just 68.0 points, and have been led by three players in double figures - Montrell Williams (15.0 ppg); Branden Williams (14.0 ppg, 12.0 rpg); and Bennie Lufile (12.0 ppg). Tech also boasts a +8 turnover margin - sixth in Division II.
