KNOW YOUR FOE (ORAL ROBERTS):
Led by reigning Summit League Player of the Week, Hannah Cooper, ORU enters Wednesday's game at 3-7 overall. The Golden Eagles are coming off a big victory last time out against Abilene Christian. In the win over ACU, Cooper scored 26 points playing all 40 minutes of action. The El Paso native was 9-of-13 from the field and also had nine assists. The Golden Eagles had a second 20-point scorer as 2021-22 Summit League Freshman Year Tirzah Moore poured in 21 points on perfect 7-of-7 shooting. One of the most improved players in the country, Cooper is currently averaging 19.3 points a game and has reached double figures in nine of 10 games. The 26 she scored last Sunday was her second-best output of the season behind the 39 points she scored against UNLV. Cooper has dished out a Summit League best 5.0 assists/game this season. A prolific offensive team, the Golden Eagles have allowed 83.6 points a game this season, as opponents have shot 44.1 percent against ORU. The Golden Eagles have four players averaging in double-figures led by Cooper and Moore. Moore is averaging 13.1 points and 10.9 rebounds a game this season. Moore is shooting 51-of-89 from the floor (57.3 percent) and had 25 and 18 vs. OU, 16 and 18 vs. SMU and 16 points and 16 and 11 vs. Arkansas.
