TRIPLE THREAT

•  EVERYBODY IS KEY: In the Pioneers win over Midwestern State on Tuesday night, they flexed their depth. Four Pioneers scored in double digits, Scout Huffman, Keslyn King, Brielle Woods and Ariyanna Hines. Hines, who came off the bench, contributed to the Pioneers 26 bench points. The diversified threat of every Pioneer player will be key in today's match-up.
• QUARTER BY QUARTER: The Pioneers scored over 20 points in three of the four quarters against Midwestern State. Not only did they score a lot of points, but they also held Midwestern State to just 11 points in the first quarter and 13 points in the third quarter. The Pioneers came out of the gate ready to go at the start and after halftime—those hot starts will be a gamechanger in today's game against WNMU.
• TURN IT OVER: The Pioneers defense forces an average of 17.8 turnovers per game and score and average of 16.8 points off those turnovers. The Pioneers must defend well and turn their strong defense into electrifying offense.
