* The Bobcat women will complete its two-game home stand when it faces Denver on Sunday afternoon in Worthington Arena. The Bobcat are coming off a come-from-behind win over MSU Billings on Wednesday, which saw MSU overcome a 10-point halftime deficit to outscore the Yellowjackets 37-18 in the final period to post a 58-49 victory.
* Montana State continues to do an outstanding job from the free throw line, which has been key in the early season with the new contact rules in play. To date, the Bobcats have connected on 53-67 for 79 percent from the stripe. Junior Kalli Durham and sophomore guard Lindsay Stockton have yet to miss a free throw attempt over the past three outings.
* The Bobcat defense has held its opponent to just 33.9 percent from the field. On Wednesday, MSU stifled the Yellowjacket offense, limiting MSUB to 30 percent for the game, including an icy 24 percent in the second stanza.
* The Bobcats and Pioneers met last season in the second game of the year for MSU in the Mile High City. The Bobcats came away with a 73-55 victory. The Pioneers hold a 3-2 advantage in the all-time series dating back to the 2007-08 campaign.
* MSU will look to match its 3-1 start from last season against Denver on Sunday afternoon. The Bobcats defeated DU last fall on Nov. 13 as Rachel Semansky scored 14 points, while Kalli Durham and Ashley Brumwell each had 11 points for MSU. Morgan Van Riper Rose had 13 in the losing cause for the Pioneers.
*Jackie Elliott and Ausha Cole led Montana State in field-goal percent, each shooting 46 percent from the field.
* Four Montana State players are averaging 5.0 rebounds or better. MSU has been led under the glass by Kalli Durham, who averages 6.0 boards per game. Also at or above 5.0 rebounds per outing are Ashley Brumwell 5.7, Kayla DeWit 5.7 and Jasmine Hommes 5.0 rpg.
* Ashley Brumwell has swatted four balls this season, bringing her total career mark to 94, which is fourth on the all-time Montana State blocked shot list.
* The Bobcats will play at the FIU tournament in Miami over Thanksgiving weekend. MSU opens with Villanova.
* Denver is 1-3 overall, following a 78-73 setback at UC Irvine on Thursday night. The Pioneers lone win was a 72-64 victory over Air Force. In addition to the Anteaters, DU has dropped games to Utah and Wyoming.
* DU has four players averaging double-figures led by Theresa Wirth 14 ppg., Morgan Van Viper Rose, 13.8, Kailey Edwards, 11.8, and Paige Bradley, 11.3 points per contest.
