LAST TIME OUT
Rashunda Jones scored 11 points off the bench and Kendall Puryear dropped 10 in her first career start, as the Boilermakers fell 87-60 at Mackey Arena on Saturday.

NOTES
• Wednesday will be the first meeting between the two ball clubs.
• The Ducks will be Purdue's 212th unique opponent.
• Purdue enters the week with the No. 1 strength of schedule in the NET.
• Wednesday will be the first game since Dec. 21 in which the Boilermakers will face an unranked opponent.
• Wednesday night will mark the first unranked team Purdue will face in Big Ten play this season. Half of Purdue's 16 games this season have come against teams in the AP Top 25.
• Jordyn Poole and Kendall Puryear made their first career starts against Michigan on Saturday afternoon. They became the first freshman duo to start a game since Kayana Traylor and Nyagoa Gony did it against Western Illinois in 2018-19.
• Destini Lombard dropped to third in the Big Ten in steals with 40 and second in steals per game with 2.7. Her 12 games this season with two or more steals leads the league alongside USC's JuJu Watkins.
• Reagan Bass sits 11th in the league with 18 rejections and 1.2 blocks per game.
• McKenna Layden had her best game as a Boilermaker against No. 1 UCLA. The sophomore tallied eight points with four rebounds and a pair of 3-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench.
• The Boilermakers are one of five Big Ten teams to have three different players knock down 20 or more 3-pointers (Michigan, Washington, Nebraska and Minnesota). Destini Lombard leads the team with 26 made triples, while Sophie Swanson and Ella Collier have both connected 20 times from the outside.
• McKenna Layden has been a spark for the Boilermakers since the holiday break. The sophomore has connected five times from behind the arc with 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game over that stretch.
• Rashunda Jones is second on the team in scoring in Big Ten action. The sophomore is averaging 9.4 points with 3.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game, while shooting an even 50% from the field. Jones leads the team with 50 assists on the year.
• Jones' production has gone up since moving to the bench earlier this season. She is averaging 8.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 23 minutes per game with the second unit.
• Purdue ranks seventh in the Big Ten with 23.8 points per game off the bench.
• Lana McCarthy is one of four freshmen in the Big Ten this season averaging over seven points and five rebounds per game. She is the only league rookie among the group to shoot 50% or better on the year.
• Purdue's freshmen have combined to score 20 or more points in three of the last 17 games.
• Since the return to action after the holiday break, Purdue is third in the Big Ten with a 36% clip from behind the arc.
• Facing a daunting schedule, eight of Purdue's nine losses have come to teams in the top 30 of the NET and all have either been Quad 1 or 2 defeats.
