LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton held a two-point lead after the first half but surrendered 42 second-half points as the TexAnns fell 69-53 to St. Mary's Saturday night in Wisdom Gym. Tarleton was outscored 42-24 in the second half. For the game, the TexAnns shot 32 percent from the floor for the game, including 28 percent in the second half.

THE OPPONENT
Oklahoma Baptist, who has spent the last two seasons as a dominant force at the NAIA level, is off to a 2-5 start in its first season of NCAA competition. The Lady Bison have posted a record of 50-11 over their last two seasons of NAIA competition and already have a pair of wins, including a GAC win, on their NCAA resume. OBU is led by a trio of double-digit scoring threats, topped by McKenzie Cooper's 14.4 points per game. Katy Custer (13.0) and Arielle Cooper (11.1) are the other two.
 
THE SERIES
Monday marks the first-ever meeting between the TexAnns and Lady Bison. This is the second time this season Tarleton has played an opponent they have not seen before - and just like Concordia, Oklahoma Baptist is also in its first year of NCAA competition after dominating the NAIA level.
 
MCGRATH FROM DOWNTOWN
Raven McGrath is currently on pace to be one of Tarleton's all-time greatest 3-pointer shooters by percentage. The senior recently passed Misty Wilson and is 14th all-time in 3-pointers made (78) and is shooting .411 from downtown for her career. The all-time record is .413 by Peyton Adamson and Jenn Doroga.
 
WILSON AGAINST FIRST-TIME FOES
Monday's games marks the fifth time in Misty Wilson's short tenure as head coach that she has led Tarleton into a game against a brand new opponent. She is 3-1 over the last two seasons against opponents the TexAnns have never faced before. Monday's game is the second such opponent for Tarleton this season, joining Concordia-Irvine.
 
IWOBI IN THE RECORD BOOKS
Ikpeaku Iwobi has made her way into the Tarleton record books for offensive rebounding. With six boards off the offensive glass in her last outing, Iwobi has pushed past Shelby Adamson (143) for 15th place on the all-time offensive rebounding list with 149 in her career.
(Note: The Tarleton records do not keep separated rebounding statistics prior to 1987).
 
APPROACHING MILESTONE MARKS
Tarleton has three players on the verge of reaching personal scoring milestones in their respective careers. Raven McGrath is eight points shy (492) of becoming the first TexAnn on this season's roster to reach 500 career points. Meanwhile, Meagan O'Dell (394) is six points away from 400 and Bailey Wipff (292) is eight points away from 300 in her career.
 
UP NEXT FOR TARLETON
Tarleton will head west this weekend for the South Point Holiday Hoops Classic in Las Vegas. There will be square off with Stonehill College and Montana State-Billings on Friday and Saturday.
