WHO THEY FACE : CCU
- Colorado Christian (0-1) enters Saturday's matchup against LCU following a 50-40 loss to No. 24 UT Tyler in Friday's Food King Classic opener inside Rip Griffin Center. The Cougars battled the Patriots to a 5-5 first-quarter tie and trailed just 15-12 at halftime before falling behind by 12 points in the fourth quarter. CCU rallied within four points (38-34) with three minutes remaining, but UT Tyler pulled away. Colorado Christian, coming off a 7-21 campaign, is in its third season under head coach Carissa Ratliff. The Cougars were picked 10th in the RMAC Preseason Coaches' Poll with 74 points.
 
- Colorado Christian connected on eight three-pointers against UT Tyler, shooting 38.1% (8-of-21) from beyond the arc despite finishing just 28.3% (13-of-46) overall. The Cougars made just five of their 25 two-point attempts (20%) and were outscored 26-6 in the paint. Three-pointers accounted for 24 of CCU's 40 points (60%), while the Cougars struggled at the free-throw line, converting just 6-of-16 attempts (37.5%). Colorado Christian scored only 12 first-half points before finding some offensive rhythm late, connecting on 4-of-6 three-point attempts in the fourth quarter and scoring 17 points in the period. CCU's eight three-pointers more than doubled UT Tyler's total of three.
 
- Sophomore guard Ezra Simonich led Colorado Christian's season-opening effort with 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds against UT Tyler. The 5-foot-10 guard connected on three three-pointers in seven attempts and played a team-high 31 minutes, helping fuel CCU's fourth-quarter comeback. Junior transfer Jacy Chandler added eight points and six rebounds off the bench, shooting 3-of-6 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range in 27 minutes. The former Western Colorado guard made an immediate impact in her Cougars debut after transferring from an RMAC rival. Simonich and Chandler combined for 20 points and five of CCU's eight three-pointers, accounting for half of the Cougars' scoring production.
 
- Colorado Christian returns two Honorable Mention All-RMAC selections in junior Elise Grosdidier and Hayley Luther. Grosdidier averaged 7.7 points and collected a team-leading 109 rebounds last season, while Luther also averaged 7.7 points and connected on 42 three-pointers in 28 starts. Friday against UT Tyler, Luther contributed six points on 2-of-3 shooting from beyond the arc, adding four rebounds and two assists. Grosdidier scored three points and collected eight rebounds, second on the team behind Simonich. The duo will be counted upon to replace the production of graduated guard Jordon Heckert, who led CCU with 14.1 points per game, 394 total points and 48 three-pointers last season.
 
- Colorado Christian held a narrow 41-40 rebounding advantage against UT Tyler but struggled to capitalize on its opportunities, committing 18 turnovers against just five assists. The Patriots converted those miscues into 14 points, while CCU managed only one point off UT Tyler's nine turnovers. The Cougars also produced just three second-chance points despite collecting six offensive rebounds. Ratliff's retooled roster features six newcomers, including four collegiate transfers and two freshmen. Alongside Chandler, senior transfers Flora Lukow (Drury), Joy Beran (Bellevue) and Irene Fernández Pavesio (Morehead State) bring experience from multiple collegiate levels. Lukow started Friday's opener and scored five points, while Beran played six minutes off the bench. Nine Cougars saw action in the season-opening loss.
