WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State is back in the friendly confines of Charles Koch Arena for a Sunday matinee against Southern University at 2 p.m.

Girl Scout Day - FREE Admission for all Girl Scouts and 500 Shocker Scout Patches will be given out at the door.

ON THE AIR
Sunday's game can be heard online at GoShockers.com/Listen with the voice of Shocker Women's Basketball Steve Strain calling the action. Strain is in his sixth season broadcasting games for the women's program. The game will also be televised locally on COX YurView HD 2022 and streamed at YurView.com/Kansas.

CHASING 600 
Wichita State enters the 2019-20 campaign with an all-time record of 596-685, needing just four wins to reach 600. They would become the 10th program in the American Athletic Conference with 600 or more victories. UCF (595) is right on the doorstep to 600 as well - needing only six wins to reach the milestone. Tulsa (350) is the only other active member shy of that mark.

LAST TIME OUT
Wichita State dropped its second straight game to open the season after a 79-66 loss at Oral Roberts Monday night. ORU now leads the all-time series, 12-9. Wichita State knocked down seven three-pointers in 21 tries after making only one in the opener, and shot 42.6 percent overall, but it wasn't enough to keep up with ORU's 13 three-pointers. The Golden Eagles also hit 16-of-17 attempts from the free throw line, while WSU was only 1-of-5. Freshman DJ McCarty provided a huge boost off the bench in her first career road game, dropping 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting. Sophomores Carla Bremaud and Jaida Hampton added 15 and 11 points, respectively.

SCOUTING THE JAGUARS
Southern is 2-1 to open the season after wins against Wiley (78-55) and Tougaloo (100-39) and a loss to Iowa State (36-69). The Jaguars are led by Brittany Rose's 16.0 points and 3.3 assists per game. Genovea Johnson posts 10.0 points and 3.0 steals a game on 50 percent shooting. Johnson's nine steals through three games rank 28th nationally. As a team, Southern is scoring 71.3 points and holding its opponents to only 54.3. The Jaguars rank nationally in the top 10 in steals (3rd), turnover margin (9th), turnovers forced (9th) and three-point defense (10th).

BUCKETS FOR BREMAUD 
A season ago, Carla Bremaud led the Shockers in scoring and was selected for the American Athletic Conference All-Freshman Team, becoming the first freshman to lead Wichita State in scoring for a season since Kiki Stephens in 2004-05. Now a sophomore, Bremaud will look to carry that momentum into 2019-20, while also coming off a summer with the French U20 National Team.

HEY DJ, GO DJ
Playing in her first collegiate road contest on Monday, Nov. 11 at Oral Roberts, freshman guard DJ McCarty set a number of season highs. McCarty came in off the bench and lit up the Golden Eagles to the tune of 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc in 33 minutes of action. The Texas native also pulled down four rebounds. McCarty and Carla Bremaud single-handedly kep the Shockers in it the first half, combining for 17 of the team's 25 points.

BASTIN'S BOARDS
Sophomore guard Seraphine Bastin finished her freshman campaign as one of Wichita State's best rebounders. The 5-foot-8 point guard pulled down six or more rebounds in 10 of the last 15 games, including a season-high 10 three times (vs. Memphis, ECU and Tulsa on Jan. 12, Jan. 29, March 8). She averaged 6.2 rebounds per game over that 15-game stretch.
In conference play (16 games), Bastin had a team-high 93 rebounds - four more than the next closest Shocker (Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, 89) - good for a 5.8 rebound per game average.

WIN NO. 300
Wichita State head coach Keitha Adams collected her 300th career win at the Division I level in Wichita State's overtime win vs. Missouri State on Nov. 10, 2018. She compiled 284 wins in her 16 seasons at UTEP and has accumulated 26 in her first two plus seasons at Wichita State. She has a career record of 310-246.

OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN(S)
The votes are in. Wichita State women's basketball will feature three team captains in 2019-20 - senior Ashley Reid and sophomores Seraphine Bastin and Trajata Colbert. Selected by their teammates, the trio will be looked upon to lead the Shocker basketball program for the remainder of the campaign.
