The Lady Lions have a weak offense in every statisitical category. They average 58.5 ppg and have no double-digit scorers. Their best player would seem to be their center, 6-5 junior Maori Davenport. She averages 9.7 ppg and 9.8 rpg. She started her college career at Georgia (SEC) and then transferred to Rutgers (Big Ten) before ending up at Arkansas Pine Bluff. They have a back-up center, Maya Peat, that is a 6-6 junior who grabs 4.7 rpg. The only impressive stat that the Lady Lions own is a collective 43.7 rebounds per contest.
Their team field goal shooting is 35.7%. Their three-point accuracy is only 19.1%. The Lady Lions only convert 59.6% of their free throws. These shooting stats likely contribute to their 16 offensive rebounds per game. The other major problem that Arkansas Pine Bluff has is ball handling. They average 22.8 turnovers per game while their assists are approximately half (11.8/g).
APB's defense is not bad allowing 68 ppg for a 9.5-point deficit. Three of their five losses have been by wider margins than the 10-point range, however. The Lady Lions lost on the road to Columbia (Ivy League) by 38 and they lost last week at Southern Methodist in Dallas by approximately 30 (actually 29). APB also lost at home to their local rival, Arkansas, by 20 points. Post Maori Davenport tallied an impressive double-digit points and rebounds against the Razorbacks.

I'm going to forecast the Bears emerging triumphant over the Lady Lions on Saturday morning, 80-50.
GO BEARS!
