Lady Bison Test Tech Thursday

Oklahoma Baptist (3-4, 0-2) vs. Arkansas Tech (4-1, 1-1) 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 1 Noble Complex, Shawnee, Oklahoma Tickets | Live Stats | Live Broadcast | Game Notes

SHAWNEE – Lady Bison basketball looks to stretch their home-stand winning streak to four as Great American Conference foe Arkansas Tech treks to the Noble Complex Thursday evening.
 
SCOUTING THE GOLDEN SUNS:
Arkansas Tech (4-1, 1-1 GAC) comes to Shawnee off of two non-conference matchups against Oklahoma Christian and Missouri-St. Louis last week. In their first conference outing of the year, Southwestern Oklahoma State surprised the Golden Suns and beat ATU 72-69 as SWOSU overtook them in the fourth quarter.
 
In the current record books, Tech leads the series between OBU 2-0 after sweeping the Lady Bison in both games through their first NCAA season.
 
SUNS TO SPOT:
#00 KELSEY MCCLURE – The starting guard leads the team at 15 points per contest and will look to penetrate as well as take a chance from three-point range.
#25 DANIELLE FRANCHISEUR – Averaging 10.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, the senior forward lives in the lane and looks to clean up missed shots and finish defensive possessions.
#14 ANISSA POUNDS – With the absence of last year's conference offensive player of the year Fatima Adams, Pounds has the opportunity to fill in her footsteps as she averages 10.8 points per contest and looks to create in a way not unlike Adams.
 
 
STREAKING BISON:
After starting the season 0-4 on the road, OBU has seemingly flipped the switch, winning three straight at home against Dallas Christian, Division II opponent Roger's State and Manhattan Christian with an average score of 94-49.
 
Against Roger's State, senior guard Cameerah Graves led the team with a high of 15 points as Lexi Williams and Aliyah White followed with 14 each. White also earned a double-double in 10 rebounds, as Tasha Edge pulled down seven.
 
With the loss of junior guard McKenzie Cooper to injury, several bench players have stepped up as sophomore Alexa Richards and Alexis Mbroh drained key three-pointers to help stave off the Hillcats.
 
Tip off is set for 5:30p.m. in the Noble Complex.
