Dee Alexander will apparently miss several weeks with a lower body injury

The Bearcats fell to Lehigh 88-85 at home in their opener. Mya Perry scored 31 and Reagan Jackson added 21. The freshman trio of DeVillasee, Crawford, and Torrence really struggled. They combined for negative 11 net points and each posted a negative 5 BPM or worse.

The Bearcats had a one point lead at the half and a 3 point lead with under 5 minutes to play, but lost 82-77 at Penn St. Reagan Jackson had another nice game, leading with 3.4 net points. Freshman Kylie Torrence bounced back to lead the team with 18 points and a 2.8 DBPM thanks to 3 steals. Alliance Ndiba grabbed 8 boards in just 19 minutes. Mya Perry struggled tonight, going just 6 for 18 from the field with 4 turnovers.

I'm not encouraged by the rough start but I think the team is still adjusting to not having Dee Alexander on the floor. Also missing Chloe Mann from last season who was a 4 star recruit that transferred out. I never heard the reasoning for that one but she landed at Grand Canyon which makes you think a bit

Freshman DeVillasee hands out 15 assists to set a single game record.

Alexander is definitely missed. Big 12 power rankings and UC is in a group all by itself. Number 16. Big 12 Women’s Basketball Power Rankings: November 17th, 2025
It has to get better for the team.

Good news: The women's team have won 3 games in a row, which most recently included victories over New Mexico and Alabama A&M at the Florida Gulf Classic in Naples.

Bad news: The program/athletic department is being mocked for playing in a (mostly empty) preK-12 school gym as a Big 12 school.

Dee Alexander is on the court for Big XII play in limited minutes today after her injury

Dee Alexander is on the court for Big XII play in limited minutes today after her injury

Dee was our best player today, recording 2.0 net points and a 9.8 BPM in a 28 point loss.

Outside of DeVillasee (who has missed the last three games), the freshmen have not played well but are logging major minutes. Torrence, Barrett, and Crawford all have negative BPMs while combining for 51 mpg. Dee Alexander taking a chunk of those minutes will help. Definitely a building year with so much inexperience on the roster.

Big upset win over Iowa St. Held the Cyclones to just 63 points in 78 possessions. Mya Perry recorded 10 net points, essentially winning the game by herself. 24 points from the field on only 14 shots with 3 steals. She played all 40 minutes.

I need to find the archive of this game and post the link because this is really a big deal for the program. This is almost the equivalent of the men's program beating Duke in the Great Alaska Shootout

The Bearcats take on another ranked team in 5/3 this afternoon vs. #17 Texas Tech. Get down there if you can make it in time. ESPN+ for those who can't
