WICHITA, Kan. - First time foes Wichita State and Eastern Michigan bring in the first weekend of December with a Saturday matchup in Charles Koch Arena on Dec. 7.

600 
Wichita State won its 600th game all time with its 88- 83 win over Oklahoma on Nov. 30, 2019. They became the 10th program in the American Athletic Conference with 600 or more victories. UCF (597) is right on the doorstep to 600 as well - needing only five wins to reach the milestone. Tulsa (351) is the only other active member shy of that mark.

LAST TIME OUT
Wichita State saw its four-game winning streak come to an end following a 68-55 loss to No. 22/18 Missouri State. Wichita State finished the game 0-of-10 from beyond the arc, marking the first time since Jan. 10, 2018 vs. Memphis (0-for-11) the Shockers failed to hit a three-pointer. WSU dropped to 1-3 this season when losing the rebound battle. The six assists tied a season low. Senior Maya Brewer scored a career-high 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting to go with a career-high tying three steals. Junior Mariah McCully also set a new career best with 13 points - 10 coming after halftime. Sophomore Carla Bremaud was held scoreless for the first time in her career. She finished 0-of-6 from the field. Redshirt sophomore Asia Henderson set career highs in  minutes (24), rebounds (9) and steals (3).

SCOUTING THE EAGLES
Eastern Michigan is 2-5 to start the 2019-20 campaign. The Eagles own wins over Olivet (95-38) and Southeast Missouri State (69-64). Their five losses are to No. 17/21 Michigan State, Youngstown State, Southern Illinois, Michigan and Binghamton. Areanna Combs made her season debut against Binghamton and scored 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Aaliyah Stanley averages 12.1 points and leads the Eagles with 11 steals. Jenna Annecchiarico has handed out a team-high 23 assists. Autumn Hudson averages 6.6 rebounds in only 16.0 minutes a 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.

MCCARTY, SMITH SNAG WEEKLY HONORS

She opened the week with a team-high 12 points, while adding three rebounds, three assists and two steals against Houston Baptist and finished with a 13-point, 3-assists outing against the Sooners. McCarty leads the team in scoring at 11.3 points per game and has scored 10 or more points in three straight games and four this season (leads team). She is the first Shocker to collect Freshman of the Week honors since Shyia Smith last season. Smith is coming off her first career double-double when she tallied 10 points and a career-high 17 rebounds against Houston Baptist. Her 17 rebounds were a career high and the most by a Shocker since Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage had 17 on Feb. 19, 2017. In Wichita State's two wins, Smith averaged 6.0 points and 11.5 rebounds on 50 percent shooting. She has grabbed six or more rebounds in four straight games.

Wichita State poured in 12 three-pointers in only 22 attempts in its victory over Oklahoma on Saturday, Nov. 30. The 12 made three-pointers are the most in a single game since Dec. 30, 2006, when the Shockers made 12-of-24 against Evansville. The school record for made triples in a single game is 14, which was set in 1999. Wichita State has made 10 or more three-pointers only four times between 2006 and Nov. 30, 2019.

OU LEFTOVERS
Wichita State's win over Oklahoma on Nov. 30 was the program's first win against a Big 12 opponent and Power 5 member since Dec. 12, 2014, when the Shockers defeated in-state rival, Kansas State, 51-48 in Charles Koch Arena. That same season Wichita State also recorded wins against Clemson (ACC) and Ohio State (Big Ten).

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.

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.
