SHAWNEE – After dismantling Oklahoma City University, 81-43, in an exhibition contest last week, Oklahoma Baptist women's basketball will open regular season play at Cameron University on Monday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m. at Aggie Gym. The Bison are coming off a 14-14 season a year ago, and were picked to finish ninth in the Great American Conference in the GAC Preseason Coaches Poll which was released last week.

OBU returns three of five starters from a year ago, including Katelyn Davis (10.4 ppg) and Jordyn Anderson (10.7 ppg) who were the second and third leading scorers for the Bison in 2025-26. Oklahoma Baptist will be led once again by head coach Bo Overton, who enters his seventh season at the helm of the program.

On the opposing side, Cameron was 2-26 last season and finished t-15th in the Lone Star Conference. The Bison are 15-10 all-time against the Aggies, including a 2-0 record in the Division II era. A win on Monday night would snap a skid of six-straight losses in season openers for Oklahoma Baptist.

Todd Miller and Clayton Coffman will call the action on Monday night on KGFF 100.9FM/1450AM,. Fans can watch on FloSports ($), follow live stats, and check out game notes for more storylines.
