NOTABLE
•
Sophie Benharouga has now reached double-figure scoring in four games this season after posting a career-high 19 points against USC Upstate.
• The Eagles have had a knack for scoring late in quarters this season, connecting on seven buzzer beaters thus far, including three in the last two games.
• The Morehead State defense continues to frustrate opponents, as they have limited their competition to scoring below their average points per game in seven of their 10 matchups this season.
• The Eagles have had strong opening halves over the last month, leading by halftime in four of their last six games, and being tied at the half in another.
• Sunday marks the third matchup the Eagles have had with a top-5 team in the last five seasons. Both previous matchups came against Baylor, including the 2018-19 team who went on to win the national championship.
