'DONS & ENDS
// Due to COVID schedule changes, this is Purdue Fort Wayne's first game against IUPUI in Indianapolis since Dec. 14, 2019.
// The 'Dons took only 10 attempts from beyond the arc against Green Bay (Jan. 5). It was the fewest during the head coach tenure of Jon Coffman. The last time the 'Dons took 10 or fewer in a game was when they took 10 at IUPUI on Feb. 22, 2014.
// Anthony Roberts has scored in double-digits in four of the last seven games.
// Ra Kpedi grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds at Robert Morris (Dec. 29) with a career-best nine offensive rebounds. Kpedi is the first Mastodon with 15 rebounds since John Konchar had 15 vs. North Dakota State (March 2, 2019). He is the first Mastodon to record nine offensive rebounds in a game since Kevin Harden had nine against UTPA (now UTRGV) on Nov. 16, 2012.
// The 'Dons are giving up 65.5 points per game, second best in the Horizon League. Should the Mastodons finish the season at this average, it would be the best during the Division I era (2001-present) in program history. The current record is the 66.0 points the 'Dons gave up in 2012-13.
// The 'Dons are 10-0 this season when scoring 71 or more points in a game.
// Per sports-reference.com, Ra Kpedi leads the Horizon League in offensive rebounding percentage at 16.0 percent. He has a league best 63 offensive boards.
// Jarred Godfrey owns 1,877 career points, second place in program history. He passed Frank Gaines (1,841) on Jan. 6 for second place. The only Mastodon ahead of Godfrey is his former teammate John Konchar. Konchar sits in first place in program history with 2,065 points.
// Jarred Godfrey owns 575 rebounds, sixth in program history. When he reaches 603 rebounds he'll enter the top five in program history. He is already in the top five in points, assists, steals, field goals and 3-pointers.
// The Mastodons are the only team in the league with four players in the top 10 in the league in made 3-pointers. Bobby Planutis (3rd, 46), Jarred Godfrey (8th, 33) Deonte Billups (9th, 32) and Quinton Morton-Robertson (10th, 30).
// Jarred Godfrey is shooting 94.4 percent (67-of-71) from the free throw line, 6th in the nation. Only once in program history has a player made 50 or more free throws in a season and finished at 90 percent or better. That was Ben Botts in 2009-09, making 65-of-71 (91.5 percent).
// Jarred Godfrey has the best free throw percentage of any player in NCAA Division I men's basketball with 70 or more attempts.
// Jarred Godfrey enters the IUPUI game with a streak of 24 consecutive made free throws. His last miss came Dec. 19 vs. Texas A&M-Commerce.
// Ra Kpedi has won the opening tip in 14-of-17 games this season. He also won the tip in overtime against Oakland (Dec. 3).

// Jarred Godfrey (1,877), Damian Chong Qui (1,452), Anthony Roberts (1,438), and Bobby Planutis (1,070) have each scored 1,000 career NCAA points. Deonte Billups (910) could enter that group this season.
// The 'Dons have 12 games of double-digit offensive rebounds this season.
// Jarred Godfrey has failed to reach double-digits only once this season (nine points vs. Bluffton).
// Jarred Godfrey is one of two current student-athletes in NCAA Division I men's basketball with 1,800 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists. Taevion Kinsey (Marshall) is the other.
