- The William & Mary women's basketball team looks to make it three in a row as it concludes its final three-game homestand of the season when it welcomes James Madison to Kaplan Arena on Friday, Feb. 2. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
 
- Tonight's game will fall on Groundhog's Day and be just the ninth time in school history the Tribe will play on the holiday. The Tribe is just 1-7 overall on Groundhog's Day, but the win came under Ed Swanson on Feb. 2, 2014 an 81-76 victory over Charleston.
 
- Junior Bianca Boggs claimed the Tribe's sixth CAA weekly award after her big week last week. She joins senior Abby Rendle, who has been CAA Player of the Week three times, and freshman Nyla Pollard, who has been rookie of the week twice, have won the other five awards.
 
- W&M, the nation's leaders in blocks, set a school record and tied a CAA record with 17 block shots in the victory. Five of the nine players that played recorded, at least, one rejection led by 11 from senior Abby Rendle. The 17 blocks were the most in a game this season nationally, while Rendle's 11 were the second most.
 
- The Tribe is 7-1 when shooting better than 45-percent. For the season, the Green and Gold leads the CAA and ranks 34th in the country at 44.7-percent.
 
- The Green and Gold has scored 70, or more points, in 12 of its 20 games this season and is averaging 70.9 points per game. The Tribe has only averaged more than 70 points in a season twice in program history. W&M's scoring offense is second in the CAA and 78th in the country.
 
- After losing its top two scorers from last season, W&M has put, at least, three players in double-figures in 17 of 20 games this season. Junior Bianca Boggs has been in double-figures in 18 of 20 games, including 11 in a row to lead the team. Seniors Abby Rendle (15 times) and Jenna Green (14 times), as well as sophomores Victoria Reynolds (13 times) and Nari Garner (six times), and freshman Nyla Pollard (twice) have also scored in double-figures, in at least one game, this season.
 
- Not only is senior Jenna Green scoring at a higher rate this season, but she is also finding her teammates at a higher clip. The Clifton, Virginia native has been in double-figures in 14 games and is averaging 11.1 points per game. She has added 133 assists, which is good for 15th in the country, while her 6.7 apg. rank her 12th. Green, who is just 17 assists away from breaking the school record, has 487 that rank her 13th among active players in the country.
 
- W&M's and the CAA's new all-time blocks leader senior Abby Rendle broke the school record  with her 256th career block in the game against Davidson, and then topped the league's record with her 274th career block versus ODU. She added another school and conference record as she had a single-game record of 11 blocks against Charleston on Jan. 26. Rendle is the nation's top shot blocker and is leading the country with 101 blocks and 5.1 bpg. Her 323 career blocks are also the third-most active blocks in the country, and her 3.3 blocks per game are the most active in the country. The senior has already tied her single-season record with 101 blocks this season.
 
- Junior Bianca Boggs has become one of the top players in the CAA this season. She has been the team's leading scorer 12 times, and recorded the most points in a game by a CAA player this season when she scored a career-high 33 points at St. Francis. The junior is averaging 17.1 points per game, which is second in the CAA, to go along with 4.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists, and 2.4 steals.
