Cobra Corner

  • The Cobras currently sit at 18-2 in conference play, three games above the two closest teams behind them (Wingate and Carson-Newman). With only four games left before the conference tournament, a regular season title could be clinched this week with wins over Newberry and Lincoln Memorial.
  • Mya Wasswa's 883 career point total currently sits at 883, just 117 away from the 1000-point mark. If she and the Cobras finish the season strong, the senior can reach the mark before her college career ends.
  • Kamari Thompson and Shawnteanna Tillman sit within the top 50 for multiple statistics within all of DII women's basketball

Last Time Out

  • The Cobras handled business on the road against Limestone, winning by thirteen after trailing by six at half
  • Limestone led by as many as ten points in this one (41-31), but that was short-lived when Coker scored nineteen straight points to go up 50-41
  • That run was driven by Tillman, starting and ending on a three-point jumper by her, with her play a big reason the Cobras closed out the 75-62 win
  • The Cobras secured 41 rebounds to Limestone's 33, and especially outrebounded them on the offensive end (14 to 5)
