The Series vs. Temple
Wichita State and Temple have met just four times prior to Saturday'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 and Temple met a month ago on Feb. 2 in Wichita where the Owls came out with a 65-40 win after outscoring the Shockers 20-1 in the fourth quarter. Wichita State shot 28.1 percent from the floor, including 3-of-20 from beyond the arc. Temple also outrebounded WSU 45-36. Carla Bremaud and Seraphine Bastin led the Shockers with 12 and 11 points, respectively. Raven Prince pulled down nine rebounds. Temple's Mia Davis finished with a double-double of 30 points and 13 rebounds, tying for the most points by a Shocker opponent this season.

Scouting the Owls
Temple is 9-18 overall and 5-9 in The American with league wins over ECU, Tulsa, WSU, Houston and Cincinnati. Sophomore Mia Davis leads Temple in scoring (19.0) and rebounding (9.3). Davis' 11 double-doubles rank second in the league. In the first meeting between WSU and Temple, Davis posted a 30-point, 13-rebound double-double in a 65-40 Temple win. Graduate student Alliyah Butts missed all of the 2017-18 season, but is back on the floor and leads the Owls in assists (4.6) to go with 15.2 points per game. Her 35.3 minutes per game lead The American. Tonya Cardoza is in her 11th season leading the Temple women's basketball program and is the school's all-time winningest coach. She has compiled an overall record of 209-146, while leading the Owls to seven postseason appearances, including four NCAA Tournaments and a spot in the WNIT Final Four.

Is Bri The Key?
Wichita State senior forward Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage is more times than not the key to Wichita State's success this season. In the Shockers' 11 wins, Lozada-Cabbage leads the team in scoring and rebounding at 10.7 points and 6.5 rebounds on 50.5 percent shooting and an 81.0 percent mark at the free throw line. Her 19 assists rank second on the team and she's third on the team in steals with 14. In Wichita State's 16 losses, Lozada-Cabbage averages only 7.4 points and 5.1 rebounds, while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 37.0 percent from beyond the arc. Her free throw shooting even takes a dip down to 73.1 percent. In the 16 games, she has committed 46 fouls (fouled out twice) and turned the ball over 34 times.

Bastin's Boards
Freshman guard Seraphine Bastin has been Wichita State's best rebounders of late. he 5-foot-8 point guard has pulled down six or more rebounds in nine of the last 12 games, including a season-high 10 twice (vs. Memphis and ECU on Jan. 12 and Jan. 29). She is averaging 6.4 rebounds per game over a 12-game stretch. In conference play (14 games), Bastin has a team-high 85 rebounds - 16 more than the next closest Shocker (Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, 69) - good for a 6.1 rebound per game average.

Guarding the 3-Point Line
Wichita State's three-point defense has been especially stout of late. The Shockers have held seven of their last eight opponents under the 30 percent mark from beyond the arc - four of those under 20 percent. Their opponents are a combined 36-of-157 (22.9 percent) from long range. When including all of conference play, Wichita State has limited its opponents to 76-of-280 - good for a 27.1 percent marksmanship. For the entire season, Wichita State opponents are shooting 28.5 percent from long range, which ranks 40th nationally and second in The American. Ten times this season their foes have failed to top 20 percent shooting from three-point range in a game.

Offensive Rebounds > Defensive Rebounds
Redshirt junior forward Raven Prince is on pace to finish the season with more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. Through 27 games this season, Prince has pulled down 121 total rebounds and 69 of them coming on the offensive end. That means 57 percent of her rebounds are giving the Shockers another opportunity to score. Wichita State has 317 total offensive rebounds and Prince makes up 22 percent of that number.

Bri Reaches 100
Senior forward Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage played in her 100th career game on Feb. 23 at USF. The Santa Fe, N.M., native has played in 101 games, making 75 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.
