LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton overcame a disastrous first half to rally for a 57-51 nailbiter over Midwestern State at D.L. Ligon Coliseum in Wichita Falls. After falling behind 10-0 out of the gate, Tarleton had two of its three leading scorers on the bench with just 10 combined minutes of first-half action due to foul trouble. But the TexAnn bench kept the game tight and made it a seven-point game at halftime. Out of the break, Tarleton outscored MSU 33-20 in the second half to claim the win. Kiara Wright, after playing just six minutes in the first half, finished with 15 points and 15 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the season.
 
SERIES HISTORY
Tarleton and Cameron have met 23 times since their first meeting in 1994 and the TexAnns own the all-time record 13-10. The teams squared off two times in Tarleton's pre-NCAA era - both in the latter half of the 1993-94 season. As an NAIA team, Tarleton won the first two meetings against the Aggies. After Tarleton joined the NCAA in the 1994-95, the TexAnns dropped eight of the first 11 meetings against Cameron before a 56-37 win on February 26, 2005 in Lawton turned the tide in favor of Tarleton. With that victory, Tarleton won eight of the next 10 meetings to bring the series to 13-10.
 
HOME COOKIN'
Since Ronnie Hearne took over the TexAnns in 2003, Tarleton has been spectacular inside the friendly confines of Wisdom Gym. In the nine years of NCAA competition before Hearne took over, Tarleton was 53-60 (.469) at home. Since Hearne took over the program, Tarleton is 118-27 (.814) at Wisdom Gym - including going 59-5 (.922) since the start of the 2009 season. They are 9-0 at home this season.
 
PUSHING THE STREAK TO 10
Tarleton pushed its current winning streak to double figures with its road win in Wichita Falls last season. This is the fifth winning streak in school history to reach at least 10 games and the eighth time in school history in which it has happened. The last double-figure winning streak came in the 2011-12 season when Tarleton won 15 in a row.
 
SCOUTING THE AGGIES
Cameron got off to a strong start by winning eight of its first 10 games - highlighted by a 101-33 blowout of Dallas Christian. However, the Aggies have struggled since the start of Lone Star Conference play by dropping four straight - including three straight home losses. Cameron has a pair of double-figure scoring leaders in Jazzmine Robinson (12.5) and Chelsea Stamp (10.1). Robinson is the only Aggie in double figures during LSC play with 15.5 points over the last four games.
 
SCORING AGAINST THE AGGIES
In last year's Stephenville meeting against Cameron, Tarleton defeated the Aggies 89-50 - marking the first time since 1996 that Tarleton has scored over 80 points against Cameron. They are averaging 81.1 points this season which is first in the Lone Star Conference and 14th in the nation.
