SCOUTING CENTRAL OKLAHOMA: JAN. 14 - 1:30 PM
Tenth-place Central Oklahoma (6-8, 3-7 MIAA) comes into the Saturday matinee matchup in a very similar situation to Newman. The Bronchos have won two of their last three after dropping five in a row. Last season saw the Bronchos finish 17-13, as they have finished with a winning record every season since 2014-15. They recently defeated Northwest Missouri on Thursday, 72-56, in Edmond.

Head Coach
Emma Andrews is in her first year as the head coach at UCO. Previously, she was at Cameron University for five years, making the 2020-21 NCAA Tournament with the Aggies. Andrews is from Melbourne, Australia, and played her college basketball at Fresno State. Overall, the Bronchos are scoring 70.9 PPG but are giving up 72.9 PPG while getting out-rebounded on average by just over four RPG.

Who to Watch
The Bronchos boast a three-headed scoring attack, with junior forward Alayzha Knapp scoring 15.2 PPG (8th in MIAA), sophomore guard Karly Wadsworth scoring 13.5 (13th) and senior guard Brooke Rayner scoring 11.5 (21st). Junior guard Aliyah Liansua leads UCO with 6.8 RPG, which is ninth in the league.

Record Rabbit Hole
The Griffs are 8-6 all-time vs. UCO and hold a 4-3 record at Hamilton Fieldhouse. Whitaker is 1-2 against the Bronchos all-time, as the Griffons have only matched up with UCO once a season for the last four years.
