LAST TIME OUT
After spotting Texas A&M eight points in the first 69 seconds of the game, Purdue grabbed the momentum and never looked back in a 72-58 win Thursday night at Mackey Arena. Rashunda Jones and Abbey Ellis both tallied 20 points to become the first Boilermaker duo to score 20 points in a game since 2019-20. Caitlyn Harper stepped up with a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Aggies.
NOTES
• Purdue leads the all-time series with Florida 3-0 with all three matchups occurring between 1997 and 1999.
• The Boilermakers have a 1-1 all-time record with Georgia. The previous two matchups came in the 2004 and 2007 NCAA Sweet 16s when Katie Gearlds led Purdue on the court.
• The two games will be the second and third of a three-game stretch against opponents from the Southeastern Conference.
• Rashunda Jones dropped a career-best 20 points in front of the crowd of 5,223, as the first Boilermaker rookie to score 20 points in a game since Karissa McLaughlin in 2017-18.
• Jeanae Terry recorded a team-high 10 assists against the Aggies. She now has 10 double-digit dime games as a Boilermaker, tied for sixth most in college basketball dating back to the start of the 2021-22 season.
• Terry already climbed back up to her stat line from a season ago as one of eight players nationally to average over six points, rebounds and assists per game (6 pts, 7.7 rebs, 7 asts).
• After averaging 20 turnovers over the first two games, Purdue committed just nine giveaways against Texas A&M, tied for the fourth fewest in the Gearlds era.
• Purdue holds a 3-2 record in regular season non-conference events under head coach Katie Gearlds, including wins over Oklahoma State in Cancun in 2022 and Florida State in St. Petersburg, Fla., in 2021.
• Sixth-year senior Caitlyn Harper has hit double figures in all three games this season. She is second on the team with 11.3 points per game at a 54.2% clip from the field. Harper recorded her first double-double as a Boilermaker with a 14-point, 11-rebounding outing against Texas A&M.
• Purdue ranks second in the Big Ten with an 80.4% free throw mark. Last year, the Boilermakers shot 77.5% at the line, which was the highest mark since the 2013-14 season.
• Jeanae Terry is on the cusp of a pair of career milestones. She will hit the century mark with her next start. The Detroit native needs six assists for 400 as a Boilermaker, which would pass Katie Gearlds for 13th on Purdue's all-time chart.
• Purdue is the only program in the nation with three sets of siblings - McKenna and Madison Layden, Alaina and Caitlyn Harper and Mila and Amiyah Reynolds.
