Senior Whitney Bays poured in a career-high 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting and completed her fifth straight double-double with 10 rebounds.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Senior Whitney Bays scored a career-high 27 points and became the first player in school history to post five consecutive double-doubles, leading her Purdue women's basketball team to an 86-64 victory over archrival Indiana at Mackey Arena on Sunday. Bays connected on 11-of-16 shots from the field as the Boilermakers improved to 9-5 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten Conference play.
After surrendering 81 points to Minnesota on Thursday, the Boilermakers came in with a defensive mindset and turned turnovers and stops into bunches of points. Purdue's 86 points and 32 field goals were both season-highs, as they forced the Hoosiers into 17 turnovers and held them to just 34.4 percent from the field (21-61), including seven-for-30 from behind the arc. The Boilermakers outscored Indiana 20-1 off of turnovers, committing a season-low eight themselves, 16-0 on the fast break and 40-24 in the paint.
Bays' fifth straight double-double breaks the previous school record shared by Stacey Lovelace and Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton, and is her eighth this season, matching her total from 2013-14. Her 16th career double-double leaves her one shy of matching Sam Ostarello for sixth all-time at Purdue and 11 shy of the all-time record of 27, set by Lovelace from 1993 to 1996.
The Boilermakers received outstanding efforts from their starting backcourt of junior April Wilson and sophomore Ashley Morrissette as the pair were matched up against the high-scoring Hoosier duo of Larryn Brooks and Tyra Buss. Brooks and Buss finished with 16 and 11 points, respectively, but did so at the cost of high shot volume as Brooks finished six-for-15, while Buss was three-for-13.
In addition to her defense Morrissette added a solid offensive performance, cashing in 18 points and five assists. Classmate Bridget Perry joined her in double-figures with 14 points and five assists, while Wilson chipped in 10 points and seven assists.
The Boilermakers continue Big Ten Conference play on Thursday, traveling to the University of Maryland's XFINITY Center for the first time in school history. The 14th ranked Terrapins are 11-2 overall and 2-0 in conference play after a 75-47 victory over No. 12 Nebraska on Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (ET), and will be the Boilermakers first nationally televised game of the season, set for the Big Ten Network.
