Ae'Rianna Harris is on the verge of yet another career milestone. The senior needs just 11 points to join the 1,500-point club as its 16th member. Along with Dominique Oden, the 2020 senior class will be just the second class in program history to feature a pair of 1,500-point scorers. The first tandem was Katie Douglas and Camille Cooper in 2001.
Purdue will look to replicate the same magic from its last trip to College Park. In 2018, the Boilermakers recorded their first ranked win against a top-10 ranked opponent on the road since 1990 with a 75-65 decision over the No. 10 Terrapins. Purdue put five players in double figures, including 15 from Karissa McLaughlin, 13 from Harris and 12 from Oden. The Boilermakers rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half and held Maryland off the scoreboard in the final 2:17 to seal the win.
