- Jefkins Agyeman-Budu scored 11 points with three rebounds while coming off the bench for the first time this season against RSU
- Lewallen and Agyeman-Budu scored all 21 of SWOSU's bench points in Tuesday's contest, with all other reserves combining to go 0-4 from the field
- Cheikh Fall was the only other player with more than three points against Rogers State, scoring eight points with four rebounds in 22 minutes of play
- Chris Braggs, Jr., made his first collegiate start but had his minutes limited due to foul trouble as he finished with three points and three rebounds in 13 minutes
