The Boilermakers will honor seniors Ae'Rianna Harris and Dominique Oden for Senior Day in a postgame ceremony. The duo has not missed a game since their debuts on Nov. 11, 2016, at Maine, a streak of 133 games. Together, the tandem has smashed more than 25 Purdue records, scored 3,224 points, grabbed 1,627 rebounds, recorded 301 steals, tallied 501 assists and blocked 374 shots.
Oden ranks second in program history in games started and minutes played. With her probable start on Saturday, the Atlanta native will move within one start of Erika Valek's record of 131 career record. She has also played 4,420 minutes in her career, 55 minutes shy of another program career mark.
Harris is one point away from joining the 1,500-point club as its 16th member at Purdue. When she joins the elite group, the 2020 senior class will be just the second in program history to have two players reach the 1,500-point park, joining the 2001 class of Katie Douglas and Camille Cooper.
