ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team travels to face the Ohio Bobcats on Sat., March 6 at 1 p.m. The contest will be the last for Miami in 2020-21.

ABOUT OHIO: Ohio comes into Saturday's action with a 12-7 overall and 10-6 MAC record. The Bobcats score 78.5 points per game as a team and are led by Cece Hooks (26.1 ppg.) and Erica Johnson (19.5 ppg.).

ROUND TWO WITH THE BOBCATS: Miami dropped a 72-63 decision back on Jan. 6 versus the Bobcats. In the loss, Peyton Scott had 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Katie Davidson added 16 points and Kelly McLaughlin chipped in with 12 points and nine rebounds.

SERIES WITH OHIO: Miami is 57-37 all-time versus the Bobcats. Ohio has won the last four contests, but, before that, the RedHawks had a four-game win streak versus the Green and White.

SCORING MACHINE: Over her last eight games, Peyton Scott has scored at least 25 points in six of those contests. During that stretch the sophomore is averaging 27.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.1 steals. She is also shooting 51.0 percent (79-155) from the floor and 40.6 percent from behind the arc (13-32).

SENIOR MOMENT: Kelly McLaughlin scored 188 points and had 125 rebounds in her first three years with the RedHawks, averaging 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds. This year, the senior has already scored 263 points and recorded 148 rebounds in 21 games, averaging career best in points (12.5), rebounds (7.0) and shooting percentage (52.1%).

LAST TIME OUT: Miami forced 19 turnovers on Wednesday evening at Alumni Arena, but it wasn't enough as it dropped a 75-70 decision to the University at Buffalo Bulls. Miami had five players score in double figures. Peyton Scott led Miami with 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds and Katie Davidson added 15 points. Kelly McLaughlin (13), Abbey Hoff (11) and Kenzie Schmitz (11) were also in double figures.

NO RESERVES: Miami has played much of the season with an extremely thin roster, competing much of the year with a max of 10 players due to opt outs and injuries. In 23 games this season, Miami has used eight different starting lineups and just Peyton Scott and Katie Davidson have started every contest.

GREAT SCOTT: Peyton Scott had a banner year for the RedHawks in 2019-20, averaging 12.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, earning All-MAC Freshman honors, but that is nothing compared to what she is doing in 2020-21. The sophomore is averaging 21.5 points and 6.8 rebounds this season. Playing much of this season as the team's point guard, Scott is also averaging 5.2 assists per game after averaging just 2.2 a year ago. She ranks fourth in the MAC in scoring (21.5), 10th in rebounding (6.8), first in assists (5.2), fifth in steals (2.7), 12th in field goal percentage (43.1%) and seventh in free throw percentage (83.3%).

LEAVING IT ALL ON THE FLOOR: Peyton Scott also ranks second in the MAC in minutes played (37.7), but even that doesn't tell the entire story. Over her last 16 games, the sophomore has played 619 of 640 available minutes. In all, she has played all 40 minutes in 11 of 23 games this year and has played 862 minutes combined, most in the MAC. 

REWRITING HISTORY: Peyton Scott's attack on the record has kept Miami's SID busy in 2020-21.
* She now owns four top-10 scoring performances all-time at Miami, with 34 points versus NIU and Kent State, 37 points against Western Michigan and 39 versus Ball State.
* She made 15 field goals against the Cardinals, which is the most in school history.
* She became the first RedHawk in school history to score at least 30 points in four straight games and matched a Miami record with Courtney Osborn with 71 points in a two-game stretch. Even the great Wally Szczerbiak only scored 67 points in back-to-back games during his incredible NCAA Tournament run in 1998-99.
* Earlier this year, she had 13 assists at Ball State, which is tops in school history.
* Her season average of 21.5 points would rank second all-time at Miami, just behind Amanda Jackson's 21.6 average during the 2007-08 campaign.
* Scott is on pace to finish her first two seasons at Miami with a combined 900 points. Only Lauren Dickerson (1,146) and Courtney Osborn (1,033) have scored more points in their first two years at Miami.
