-The Jacks snapped a two-game losing streak with their win over NJIT Monday. They also hope to end a two-game road losing streak that started Nov. 8 at BYU.
-SDSU needs to pick up its scoring when it comes to road games. It is only averaging 58 points and giving up 74.5.
-Just like South Dakota State, Wisconsin-Green Bay has a deep bench and a balanced attack. The Phoneix have seven players scoring five-or-more points per game and eight playing 10-or-more minutes an outing.
-Saturday's game could see a number of three-pointers go up. The Jacks average 7.6 treys and the Phoenix 7.1. But both teams defend the three well, limiting foes to 5.8 and 5.6 treys per game, respectively.
-Wisconsin-Green Bay won the Maine Thanksgiving Tournament, beating William and Mary, 90-44, Nov. 29 and Maine, 66-49, Nov. 30.
-The Phoenix have three players averaging 10 points-or-more. Sophomore guard Kaili Lukan leads the Phoenix in scoring (10.4) while senior forward Breannah Ranger and freshman guard Tesha Buck are scoring 10.1 and 10 points per game, respectively. On the boards, Ranger grabs a team-high 7.7 caroms, and Buck dishes a team-best 4.4 assists per game. Â
-Wisconsin-Green Bay is shooting 42.9 percent from the field, 34.2 percent from three-point range and 71.3 percent from the free-throw line.
-Last season the Phoenix finished with records of 29-3 overall and 13-0 in the Horizon League, finishing first. They reached the NCAA Tournament, losing to Louisiana State, 75-71.
-Wisconsin-Green Bay returns one starter, seven letterwinners, and adds five freshmen.
-Vogel graduated from South Dakota State in May 2007 after starting all 120 of the Jackrabbits' contests during her standout four-year career. She finished second all-time on the program's scoring list with 1,850 career points. In addition, she notched 194 career three-pointers and 783 career rebounds, good for the third- and fifth-best marks, respectively in program history.
-During her time with the SDSU program, Vogel was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American with a 3.8 cumulative GPA and a top 30 finalist for the 2007 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
