2. Rickie Woltman secured her second career double-double in Purdue's 81-77 victory over Penn State (Feb. 9), scoring a career-high 18 points and matching her personal best of 11 rebounds.
3. Jeanae Terry is a unique player in the lineup for the Boilermakers, with the ability to fill the stat sheet. She is one of just 14 players across the nation to be currently average 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.
4. Terry is also one of three players in the nation to have accumulated more than 130 (133) assists and 130 (145) rebounds.
5. Madison Layden is one of six players in the nation with more than 50 triples (52), 60 assists (62) and 35 steals (37).
LAST TIME OUT
• A flurry of a fourth quarter turned in the favor of Purdue when sophomore guard Madison Layden poured in two buckets inside the final minute, securing an 81-77 victory for the Boilermakers over Penn State (Feb. 9).
• Junior forward Rickie Woltman secured her second career double-double behind an 18-point, 11-rebound evening effort.
• The 18-point outburst was a career-best for Woltman, while Layden's final two field goals brought her total to 20 points, matching her career-best (previously: vs. Western Michigan, Nov. 14, 2021).
BOILED UP BADGERS
• Purdue has kept the Badgers in a box in recent history, winning three straight over Wisconsin and seven of the last 10 contests. Head coach Katie Gearlds has the opportunity to earn her first victory over Wisconsin as a coach on Sunday, Feb. 13, at the Kohl Center.
• In last season's 56-55 win at home against Wisconsin (Jan. 21, 2021), Purdue was led in scoring off the bench by Brooke More (12 points), all in 14 minutes of action. Madison Layden added five points in the victory.
BACK IN THE DAY, IT WENT KATIE'S WAY
• Purdue ran away with seven consecutive victories against Wisconsin during head coach Katie Gearlds' playing days at Purdue (2004-07).
• The school record for points in a game was set by Gearlds, coincidentally, in a game at Wisconsin (Fen. 18, 2007), with the then-senior dropping 41 points on the Badgers in a 69-60 win. Gearlds shot 13-for-20 from the field, 3-for-6 from three-point range and 12-for-13 from the charity stripe.
• In total across Purdue's seven wins against Wisconsin with Gearlds on the roster, she averaged 20.6 points per game.
RESURGENT RICKIE
• Rickie Woltman has flourished under Gearlds to start the season, recording career highs in points (18), rebounds (11, twice), blocks (4) and minutes played (33).
• Since joining the starting lineup against Maryland, Woltman is averaging 8.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 28.3 minutes per game.
• A breakout game for the junior from St. Louis came in league play against Penn State, as Woltman secured her second double-double of the season and her career with an 18-point (career-best), 11-rebound performance.
• The junior snagged her first career double-double against North Alabama with 14 points and 11 rebounds, both career highs.
• Woltman made her first career start at No. 8 Maryland on Dec. 8 when Ra Shaya Kyle went down due to injury.
• At Illinois State, she blocked four shots in the win, Purdue's first four-block outing since 2019-20.
• With Woltman as the highest ranked recruit by ESPNW in program history, No. 25 player in the class of 2019, Gearlds has sought to put Woltman in positions that benefit her skill set.
LETTING IT FLY
• Seven different Boilermakers have made a 3-pointer, led by Cassidy Hardin's 62, Madison Layden's 52 and Brooke Moore's 31. Iowa, Minnesota and Purdue are the only teams in the Big Ten Conference with three different players with 30 made three-pointers on the season.
• Currently 190-of-567, the Boilermakers are on pace to break the single-season record for team 3-pointers made (209) and attempted (592).
• The Boilermakers are 11-5 when making seven or more triples.
• The Old Gold and Black has made 12 3-pointers in four games this season and attempted 30 or more triples in six games.
• Prior to this season, Purdue had made 12 or more triples just eight times before and attempted 30 or more 3-pointers just four times.
• The Boilermakers let it loose from distance with 27 made triples through the first three games, the most to start a season at Purdue.
• Hardly surprising for a Katie Gearlds squad to shoot with confidence from distance. While at Marian, her team averaged seven 3-pointers a game and 20 attempts.
• As a player, Gearlds originally set the mark and now ranks tied for third in Purdue history with 238 triples made in a career and second in attempts. She is tied for the record with 88 makes in a season from 2006-07.
DEFENDING THE ARC
• While still implementing her defensive philosophy after the 47-day prep period ahead of the season, Purdue has developed one of the best 3-point defenses in the Big Ten.
• Purdue is second in the Big Ten with opponents making 27.9% of their 3-point shots and second with just 4.9 triples per game allowed.
• Those marks are at 30.0% (3rd) and 4.8 against Big Ten opponents
• Purdue has kept 17 opponents to six 3-pointers or fewer.
• The Boilermakers are one of 17 teams to not allow a 3-pointer in multiple games this year (Rutgers, Iowa).
• Purdue has blanked an opponent behind the arc just five times since the 2009-10 season.
SPREADING THE WEALTH
• The Boilermakers have made it a habit of making an extra pass to find open shooters this season with 16 assists per game (41st NCAA, 6th B1G), the most by a Purdue team since 2009-10 and 8.2 3-pointers per game (35th NCAA, 4th B1G).
• The Boilermakers are one of 15 schools averaging more than 15 assists and eight 3-pointers per game this season.
• Purdue has had 26 different five-assist performances by players.
TERRY MAKING TROUBLE
• Jeanae Terry is stuffing the stat sheet with 7.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game this season.
• She is 12th in the country with 129 assists (2nd B1G) and 22nd with 5.5 dimes per game (4th B1G).
• Terry has tallied five points, five assists and five rebounds in 11 games this season, good for fifth in the nation.
• Terry is one of 14 players nationally to average seven points, five rebounds and five assists.
• The junior is fifth in Big Ten action with an ast-to ratio of 1.97.
• The Detroit native has four games with at least eight assists and five rebounds, tied for fourth in the nation.
• Terry has led the Boilermakers in assists 13 times this year.
• Coach Gearlds moved Terry to the point ahead of the West Virginia game, as one of the better players on the roster to handle a press.
