WHERE WE STAND
The Broncos suffered their first loss since Nov. 21 two games ago, but bounced back with a win over Bowling Green last time out. WMU went on a 10-game winning streak before the loss to Ball State, the Broncos' longest winning streak since the 1986-87 season. WMU's other two defeats this year were against Big Ten teams, falling to then No. 21 ranked Michigan State in overtime on Nov. 18 and on the road at Michigan three days later. With the hot start to the season, the Broncos have made their way into the College Insider Mid-Major Top-25 poll, where they are currently receiving votes. 

LEADING THE MAC
Sophomore forward Breanna Mobley has been a beast on the glass in the MAC season, as she leads the conference at 13.3 rebounds per game through four games. She leads the league in offensive rebounding as well, grabbing 6.0 offensive rebounds a game. 

QUEEN OF CONSISTENCY
Redshirt junior Marley Hill has scored in double figures in every game this season, the only member of the team to do so. She leads the team in scoring (16.3 ppg), free-throw percentage (.804) and field goals (98) while placing second in free throws made (45). She's been doing it on the defensive end too, where she leads the team in blocks (19) and is second in rebounding (5.8 rpg). 

WINNING WITH WIMBY
Sophomore point guard Deja Wimby has improved tremendously from last season, her scoring has raised from 1.6 ppg to 10.5 ppg, rebounds from 1.3 to 5.5 and assists from 0.5 to 5.9 per game. She recorded three double-doubles this season, two with points-assists and one with points-rebounds including one in the last game where she finished with a career-high 20 points and tied a career high with 10 assists. 

THE MATCHUP
The Broncos and Eagles first met in 1968, with this being the 89th meeting between the two. The Eagles lead the all-time series 46-42 and own a 25-16 record when playing in Ypsilanti, Mich. EMU has also won three straight and 13 of the last 16. The two teams went into double-overtime in the first meeting last season, with EMU coming out on top 70-66.
