Game Notes: Purdue Fort Wayne | Milwaukee | Horizon League

Know Your Foe
Milwaukee is 8-22 and 5-14 in the Horizon League this season. The Panthers are coming off a 68-45 loss at Green Bay, but prior to that, MKE had won two against Oakland and IU Indy. Kacee Baumhower and Anna Lutz are leading the Panthers, both scoring 11+ points per game.

The Series
Milwaukee leads the all-time series against the Mastodons, but the Mastodons have won four of the last five games in the series. In the game earlier this season, Purdue Fort Wayne had double-digit scoring outings from Lauren Ross, Amellia Bromenschenkel, Jazzlyn Linbo and Sydney Freeman.

Fort Wayne's Own
Over her last four games played, Sydney Graber is 73.9 percent (17-of-23) from the floor.

She Can Reid The Defense
Over the last seven games, Jordan Reid is averaging 10.0 points per game while shooting 35-of-62 (56.5 percent). In the Cleveland State game on February 15, she scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and scored or assisted on the final 18 Mastodon points.

Shooters Shoot
Lauren Ross' 47.6 percent clip from 3-point range is the best in the country. Her 3.18 triples per game rank fifth nationally and 94.0 percent from the free throw line is third-best.

Road Warriors
Purdue Fort Wayne is 10-3 on the road this season and a perfect 8-0 in Horizon League road games. The Mastodons' 10 road wins matches the most in program history and is the most as a Division I school.

Dubs
Purdue Fort Wayne has 22 wins this season, which is the most wins for the program in a regular season at the Division I level.

The Next Win Would...
• One home win would set the program's most wins in a season at home at 13
• One road win would set the program's most road wins in a season at 11
• One more win would match the program record for wins in a season at 23

Literally Free
Lauren Ross has missed just one of her last 41 free throws dating back to the fourth quarter of the IU Indy game on December 11.

In The Polls...
Purdue Fort Wayne was ranked No. 22 in the most recent CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top-25. The Mastodons have received votes in every poll since November 12, but moved into the rankings for the first time in program history on January 14 at No. 18. They reached as high as No. 15 in the poll.

Ross Has the Sauce
Through 28 games, Lauren Ross is shooting 47.5 percent from the floor, 47.6 percent from 3-point range and 94.0 percent from the line. If those percentages hold, she would be one of 18 players to shoot 45/45/90 since the 3-point line was added to college basketball. Connecticut's Azzi Fudd and Utah's Gianna Kneepkens are also hitting those marks this season.

Amellia BromenDubayoo
Amellia Bromenschenkel has 69 wins in her career which is the most of any Mastodon women's basketball player at the Division I level. Audra Emmerson and Jazzlyn Linbo have 68 each, right behind the graduate student.

Coming Up
The Mastodons will head up to Green Bay with a Horizon League regular season championship on the line. They will play on March 1, with the winner earning the No. 1 seed for the upcoming Barbasol Horizon League Championship.
