LAST TIME OUT
The TexAnns earned a revenge win by rallying from a 16-point second half deficit to knock off No. 9 West Texas A&M on Senior Night in Wisdom Gym. With the win, Tarleton gave a win in the final game at Wisdom Gym to the senior class of Morgan Ashmore, Raven McGrath, Breanna Fuller, and Meagan O'Dell.

They are led in scoring by Artaejah Gay (11.2) and Shomari Harris (10.4) in double-figure scoring.
 
THE SERIES
Tarleton leads the series 31-19 all-time, dating back to the first meeting in 1973-74 and including Tarleton's win earlier this season. The TexAnns are 7-11 at the Field House in Commerce since becoming an NCAA institution in 1994, but have dropped the last two games on the road in this series.

STREAKING TO 7 STRAIGHT
With its 53-52 win over No. 9 West Texas A&M last weekend, Tarleton pushed its winning streak to seven in a row. This is the sixth time in Tarleton's NCAA history to have a winning streak reach at least seven games.
 
REBOUNDING TOWARDS HISTORY
With 493 rebounds, Ikpeaku Iwobi is seven boards away from becoming the fifth player in Tarleton's NCAA era to score 600 career points and grab 500 career rebounds, joining Kiara Wright (1,497p; 1,075r), JoAnne Jones (998p; 561r), Brittnie Haley (738p; 447r), and Amanda Franklin (722p; 516r).
