Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Green Bay | Horizon League
Know Your Foe
Green Bay is 9-3 and 2-0 to start the Horizon League after knocking off Cleveland State 85-72 on December 30. The Phoenix are receiving votes in the AP Top 25 Poll and are No. 6 in the Mid-Major Top 25. Their season so far is highlighted by a pair of top-25 wins over No. 22 Creighton and No. 23 Washington State. Maddy Schreiber is leading the balanced Green Bay attack with 12.5 points per game.
The Series
Green Bay has won all nine games in the series dating back to 1984. In the last two matchups, the Phoenix have only won by a combined 10 points. This included a 69-65 thriller in last season's Horizon League Championship semifinal matchup in Indianapolis.
Clutch 'Dons
Over the last seven games, the Mastodons are 10-of-16 (62.5 percent) from the floor in the final 10 seconds of quarters. If extrapolated to a season-long, that mark would lead the nation by nearly 10 percent. For the season, the 'Dons are 14-of-29 (48.3 percent) in end-of-quarter situations, which would still rank in the top 20 nationally for a season.
They're Free, May As Well Make Them
Purdue Fort Wayne has made 10 or more free throws in each of its last 12 games. This is the longest streak of games with double-digit free throw makes since the 2006-07 season, when the Mastodons had a stretch of 15 such games.
Just Give Us 10 Minutes...
Purdue Fort Wayne is out-scoring its opponents in final three quarters and overtime periods this season by 131 points.
All-Arounda-Schenkel
Amellia Bromenschenkel ranks in the top-10 in the Horizon League in points (13.9 - seventh), rebounds (6.8 - seventh), field goal percentage (48.2 - third), blocks (0.8 - eighth) and minutes (31.8 - sixth) per game.
Purdue Fort Dub
Purdue Fort Wayne's 9-4 start is the best through 13 games in the Division I era of the program. With a win, 10-4 would be the best start through 14 games in the DI era. With a loss, the 9-5 start would tie the best start since the 2010-11 season. The Mastodons were 9-5, then moved to 13-5 before their next loss in that season. In the all-time history, the Mastodons' most wins with four losses came in 1995-96 when they started 23-4. They finished 23-5 in that best season in program history.
She's A Plus!
The Mastodons are +107 when Shayla Sellers is on the court this season, the best of all players. On a per game basis, Jazzlyn Linbo has the best +/- average at +12.25 per game.
Seeking the Horizon
The Mastodons are seeking their first 4-0 start to league play since the 2009-10 season when they started 5-0 in Summit League play. The Mastodons have never been 4-0 in the Horizon League.
In The Polls
Purdue Fort Wayne is receiving votes in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Poll. They are receiving seven points in the poll for a de facto position of 38th. When they received seven points in the poll on December 6, it was the first time the 'Dons received votes since the 2011-12 season.
Turn, Turn, Turn It Over
Purdue Fort Wayne has forced four teams into 23 or more turnovers this season, including a season-high 31 against Great Lakes Christian. The 31 turnovers forced against the Crusaders is the most since the 'Dons forced Manchester into 34.
Magic Numbers 70 and 80
Under head coach Maria Marchesano, the Mastodons are 20-5 when they score 70 points or more and 10-1 when they hit 80.
Post Up Syd!
Sydney Graber is shooting 61.7 percent from the floor this season. If she had enough attempts, this mark would be the 16th-best in the nation.
#3Nation
Purdue Fort Wayne hit 14 or more 3-pointers three times this season (Western Kentucky, Oakland and Aquinas). This is the first time in program history the Mastodons have hit 14 or more three times in one season.
We Love Threes...
Purdue Fort Wayne has been dangerous from 3-point land this season. The Mastodons are top-50 in the nation with a 36.8 3-point percentage and top-20 with 9.2 3-point makes per contest. Audra Emmerson is in the top-160 nationally and fourth in the league with 27 3-pointers made and a 34.2 percentage.
... and It's Been a While Since We Haven't...
The Mastodons love making threes so much, they haven't had a game without a 3-pointer made since January 1, 2021, a streak of 92 games. This includes every game in the Maria Marchesano era.
...But You Don't Get Any
In addition to controlling their own 3-point line, the Mastodons are stingy on the defensive side as well. The 'Dons are in the top-50 nationally and the league-leader in 3-point defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 26.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Chasing 1,000
Amellia Bromenschenkel is looking to become the next 1,000 point scorer in Mastodon history. She has 808 in her career. With her average of 13.9 points per game this season, she is on pace to reach 1,000 career points in 14 games.
Last Time Out
Purdue Fort Wayne picked up its first-ever win at Milwaukee on December 30 in a 65-55 victory. Amellia Bromenschenkel had a line of 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists to lead the Mastodons to the road win.
Coming Up
The Mastodons will welcome Robert Morris to the Gates Sports Center on Thursday (Jan. 4) for a Horizon League game at 7 p.m.
