Leading Scorers: (of top 30 conference scorers)
SFA- Ross 20ppg, Branch 16 ppg.
UCA- Proffitt 15 ppg, Jordan 14 ppg, Baudoin 11ppg
My opinion: Shut down Ross. She's their leading scorer, assist person, three point shooter, highest field goal percentage. Disrupt her game and SFA has very few options to go to IMO.
Side note: I'm glad the Sugar Bears had a collapse in the fourth period. It might give them a back to earth slap they need to face a VERY tough SFA team. While at this point losing to SFA will only put the Sugar Bears back a game in the championship standing, ACU pretty much has cruise control with their 3 easy games left. Not much hope for an upset there. They are very good.
