Five Things to Know
- Continuing a C-USA Stretch
Sunday's game at WKU will mark the second of three straight games for the Trojans against Conference USA opponents and the third of four games against C-USA teams overall this year. That three-game stretch, which began at FAU on Thursday and continues against WKU on Sunday, will wrap up at home when Louisiana Tech visits the Jack Stephens Center on Dec. 2.
- 3-D
Little Rock enters this week's games as one of the tougher teams to face on the perimter, ranking 71st nationally (and second in the Sun Belt) by limiting teams to just 25.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Only Texas State (20.0 percent) bests that number in the Sun Belt Conference. That will be tested Sunday, however, as Western Kentucky enters the contest ranked 19th in the nation with a 40.5 percent mark in shooting from beyond the arc this season. The Toppers also ranked 54th nationally in 3-point field goals made per game, averaging 8.0 treys per contest.
- Kyra Collier Giveth...
Senior Kyra Collier has made a career of effectively dishing out the ball (when she isn't scoring herself) and enters this game currently ranked ninth in school history with 264 career assists attributed to her. She needs only seven more assists to match Ka'Nesheia Cobbins' 271 career assists, which currently ranks eighth in school history. See page 6 for updated career charts lists.
- ...And Kyra Collier taketh Away
But more than just giving the ball away, Kyra Collier is also adept at taking the ball away from others because she doesn't always play nice. Collier enters this game ranked seventh in school history with 159 career steals and needs two more swipes to match Monique Townsend's career 161 steals, which ranks sixth in school history. See page 6 for updated career charts lists.
- Red Streak Atop the Hill
As Little Rock gets ready to face WKU in Bowling Green, the Trojans are looking to snap WKU's four-game home winning streak with the last two wins coming with a 30-plus margin of victory.
