The Series vs. Temple
Wichita State and Temple have met just three times prior to Saturday night's matchup. The first meeting came all the way back in November 1983. Wichita State and Temple split the two matchups a season ago with the Shockers winning at home and Temple taking the neutral court meeting in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Championship.

Last Meeting
Wichita State saw its season come to an end in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Championship where the Owls defeated WSU 72-59. Wichita State shot just 38 percent compared to Temple's 47 percent marksmanship. The Shockers also knocked down 5-of-20 attempts from beyond the arc. Rangie Bessard scored a team-high 23 points to go with six rebounds  and three steals in her final collegiate game. Cesaria Ambrosio added eight points and six dimes.

Scouting the Owls
Temple is 6-14 overall and 2-5 in The American with league wins over ECU and Tulsa. Temple is just 2-10 this season in true road games and had lost seven straight before winning two straight. Sophomore Mia Davis leads Temple in scoring (18.2) and rebounding (8.3). Graduate student Alliyah Butts missed all of the 2017-18 season, but is back on the floor and leads the Owls in assists (4.4) to go with 15.4 points per game. Temple ranks second in The American in free throw percentage (71.2 percent) and fourth in three-point field goal attempts (435).

Slump Buster
Senior Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage broke out of scoring slump with a big game vs. Houston on Sunday, Jan. 20. The Santa Fe, N.M., native registered a team-high 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including a career-best 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Her scoring output was the most she's totaled since dropping 21 in the season opener vs. UAPB. It was her sixth game of 10 or more points this season, but first of the conference season. The last time she topped the 10-point mark was vs. Washington State on Dec. 20 in Las Vegas.
Lozada-Cabbage followed the Houston game with back-to-back double-figure outings at Tulane and vs. ECU. She scored a team-high 16 at Tulane and added 11 vs. ECU. Lozada-Cabbage has tallied 10 or more points eight times this season, including three straight. A key component of her scoring resurgence has been the outside shot. In the last three games, she has hit 6-of-13 attempts from long range after going 15 straight games without a made three-pointer.

Bastin's Boards
Freshman guard Seraphine Bastin has been Wichita State's best rebounders of late. The 5-foot-8 point guard has pulled down six or more rebounds in the last five games, including a season-high 10 twice (vs. Memphis and ECU on Jan. 12 and Jan. 29). She is averaging 7.8 rebounds per game over a five-game stretch. In conference play (7 games), Bastin has a team-high 47 rebounds - 13 more than the next closest Shocker (Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, 34) - good for a 6.7 rebound per game average.

Offensive Rebounds > Defensive Rebounds
Redshirt junior forward Raven Prince is on pace to finish the season with more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. Through 20 games this season, Prince has pulled down 90 total rebounds and 52 of them coming on the offensive end. That means 58 percent of her rebounds are giving the Shockers another opportunity to score. Wichita State has 246 total offensive rebounds and Prince makes up 21 percent of that number.

Bri Approaches 100
Senior forward Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage is just six games away from playing her 100th career game in a Shocker uniform. The Santa Fe, N.M., native has played in 94 games, making 68 starts during her four-year career. So far this season she is just one of two Shockers to start every game - along with freshman guard Seraphine Bastin. As of now, she is on pace to reach No. 100 at USF on Feb. 23.

Home Sweet Home
Wichita State will play 18 games in front of its home crowd in 2018-19, marking the most home games in a single season. The Shockers have never played more than 17 games in a season on their own floor. Wichita State played 17 home contests in both 2008-09 and 2006-07 seasons.
