GOOD AS OF LATE FOR THE BOILERS

• The Boilermakers split last season's two games against the Lady Lions, winning on the road by a score of 91-87 (Dec. 20, 2020) before surrendering an 80-70 result at home (Jan. 31, 2021). 
• Purdue rolled to an 81-68 victory during the lone Purdue-PSU matchup of the 2019-20 season, winning at home on Jan. 26, 2020. 
• A common denominator between those two recent wins over Penn State and Wednesday's game is Cassidy Hardin, who scored five points in the 81-68 win (Jan. 26, 2020) and nine points in the 91-87 win (Dec. 20, 2020).
