Clutch Colbert
Freshman Trajata Colbert hadn't played since Jan. 4, but when head coach Keitha Adams called her number Wednesday, Feb. 6 at Memphis, the Georgia native responded. Colbert played 14 minutes and logged 11 points and 5 boards. Her 11 points were the most she's scored since Nov. 17 when she finished with a season-high 12 against Houston Baptist. Colbert followed that with another 11-point outing on the road at Cincinnati on Feb. 10. She was Wichita State's leading scorer, while playing a season-high 16 minutes off the bench.

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 seven of the last nine games, including a season-high 10 twice (vs. Memphis and ECU on Jan. 12 and Jan. 29). She is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game over a nine-game stretch.
In conference play (11 games), Bastin has a team-high 69 rebounds - 19 more than the next closest Shocker (Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, 50) - good for a 6.3 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 24 games this season, Prince has pulled down 105 total rebounds and 61 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 286 total offensive rebounds and Prince makes up 21 percent of that number.

Bri Approaches 100
Senior forward Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage is just two games away from playing her 100th career game in a Shocker uniform. The Santa Fe, N.M., native has played in 98 games, making 72 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.
