Game Notes-
• UH goes on the road after notching back-to-back wins for only the second time this season. The first game of the two was at Washington (62-50) and the most recent at home against Hope International (86-49).
• The 86 points scored against Hope International were the most points scored by UH since Feb. 24, 2017, in an 85-80 loss on the road at Long Beach State.
• Freshman forward
Kasey Neubert led the offensive charge as she tallied a career-high 22 points in the win of the Royals. UH has spread out the scoring throughout the season as six different 'Bows have led the team in scoring this season, but Neubert is only the third player to register over 20 points in a game.
• Watch the rebounding battle, when the 'Bows outrebound their opponents they're 5-0 on the year.
• While giving notice to the battle of the boards, UH is also 5-0 when holding opponents to 60 points or less.
• Senior guard
Courtney Middap has been known to hit big shots in the past and be a scoring threat but hasn't gained much credibility in terms of dishing the ball out. Middap totaled a career-high 10 assists against Hope International, become the first player at UH the season to tally double-digit dimes.
• Ranging from 2006 to 2012, UH and Idaho duked it out twice a year as members of the Western Athletic Conference. Since UH left the conference, the two programs did not face each other till last season when the 'Bows knocking off the Vandals 69-61 at home, leaving the Bows with a 11-6 advantage in the all-time series.
