CHASING 600 
Wichita State enters the 2019-20 campaign with an all-time record of 598-685, needing just two wins to reach 600. They would become the 10th program in the American Athletic Conference with 600 or more victories. UCF (596) is right on the doorstep to 600 as well - needing only six wins to reach the milestone. Tulsa (351) is the only other active member shy of that mark.

LAST TIME OUT
Wichita State picked up its second straight win and first road win of the 2019-20 campaign at Louisiana Tech Wednesday night (88-80). The Shockers improved to 2-0 all-time vs. La Tech. WSU shot better than 50 percent from the field for the second straight game and also won the rebound battle for the first time this season (45-34). Sophomore Seraphine Bastin scored a game and career-high 20 points to go with eight boards and four assists, while going 9-of-14 from the free throw line. Her 20 points are the most since Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage scored 21 vs. UAPB on Nov. 7, 2018. Freshman DJ McCarty also set a new career high with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting. She is averaging 17.5 points in the Shockers' two road games this season. Sophomore Shyia Smith finished one point shy of her career high with 16 points and also grabbing a career-high tying eight rebounds.

SCOUTING THE HUSKIES
Houston Baptist is 3-2 to open the season after wins against LSU-Shreveport (67-44), Paul Quinn (63-34) and Oral Roberts and losses to No. 2 Baylor (112-42) and Houston (82-60). The Huskies have just one player averaging 10 or more points on the season, Timia Johnson at 13.0 per game. Johnson, however, has played in only two games for the Huskies. Megan Valdez-Crader comes in next at 7.4 points. Kennedy Wilson leads HBU in assists (10) and steals (13). Houston Baptist ranks 47th nationally in steals per game.

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.

A SHOCKER WIN WOULD...
... make them 3-2 on the season
... give them a 2-0 lead in the series with HBU
... run Adams' career coaching record to 440-283
... make Adams 313-246 at the Division I level
... make them 367-231 all-time in Charles Koch Arena
... make Wichita State 599-685 all-time

A SHOCKER LOSS WOULD...
... drop them to 2-3 to begin the season
... drop WSU to 1-1 vs. Houston Baptist
... lower Adams' career coaching record to 439-284
... make Adams 312-247 at the Division I level
... make them 366-232 all-time in Charles Koch Arena
... make Wichita State 598-686 all-time
