Bobcats: On Friday the Heat will play Brandon, the Bobcats are coming off of two losses on the opening weekend. The 'Cats squad will be looking to claim their first win of the year at home against the Heat.
Current Form: The Bobcats are dropped both in Edmonton (71-68) and (79-46) to the University of Alberta. With the losses, both the Heat and the Bobcats have yet to claim a win this year and will be eager to end their losing streaks.
Key Players: Keisha Cox is leading the way for the Bobcats so far this season. With an impressive 32 out of the Bobcats 68 points on Friday nights loss, Cox is one of the leading scoring thrats in the conference and has started the year shooting the ball well for the Bobcats. With (6-13) 46 percent shooting from beyond the arc, Cox is fifth in the Canada West. Cox was also the Bobcats biggest offensive threat last season, as the slick ball-handler and perimeter threat regularly showed the touch that brought her north of the border in the first place. Cox led the team in scoring (17.1 PPG), 3-point shooting (43.6%), and steals (2.4 SPG) earning Canada West third-team all-star honours. Cox will tell you she’d give up the personal accolades to get the team back in the playoffs however, and the import guard will look to do that this season.
Team Stat: The Bobcats are shooting 36.8 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc. With similar shooting percentages between the Heat and the Bobcats, both teams will have to be prepared for a battle.
