The Greyhounds are going for potentially the first season sweep over the Lady Buffs in program history. The Greyhounds have a three-game winning streak over WT, but that streak included the last matchup of one season, a tournament game and the first game of the following season. ... Sasha Watson leads the LSC with 4.4 assists per game and is the No. 6 scorer in conference with 14.6 points per game. ... The Greyhounds are ranked 17th in the Division II media poll. It is the team’s first time making the top 25 in the poll’s three-season history. ENMU has the most points of any team outside of the top 25 in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association poll. ENMU Sports Information Director Adam Pitterman said information from the WBCA on any prior ENMU appearance is so far inconclusive. The WBCA only had public archives available dating back to 2002, and is researching prior seasons. Pitterman said if ENMU had a ranking at any point, it would most likely be during its 1992-93 LSC championship season.
