In last night's matchup of two top-25 teams, Purdue beat DePaul before a big crowd at Mackey. After trailing by eight at the break, the Boilers scored 50 points in the second half.

Katie Gearlds had 16 of those 50. "She does some things in practice that are just staggering," coach Curry said. "Every time she touches it she has the ability to make things happen."

The Demons suffered without Charlene Smith, who is done for the season with her ACL injury. "I just told the team that they can have sympathy and empathy for Charlene," coach Doug Bruno said. "But we're not the first team to lose a kid, and we can't have self-pity."
