ON TAP: The Miami University women's basketball team heads to Mt. Pleasant, Mich. to face the Central Michigan Chippewas on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.

MIAMI'S BIG-3: The RedHawks have three of the top-13 scorers in the MAC, highlighted by Ivy Wolf (17.3, 3rd), Peyton Scott (14.7, 11th) and Maddi Cluse (14.2, 13th). Combined, the trio scores 47 of Miami's 69 points per contest. 

TOE THE LINE: No one gets to the free throw line more in the Mid-American Conference than the RedHawks. Through 25 games, Miami has attempted 484 (19.4/game) free throws this season (CMU is 12th - 13.5/game). Not only do the RedHawks get to the line ... they make them count. Wolf ranks first in the MAC in free throw percentage (.908), Peyton Scott is fourth (.844) and Cluse is 21st (.713).

ABOUT CMU: The Chippewas are 5-18 overall and 3-9 in Mid-American Conference play. They rank 11th in the conference, averaging 62.8 points per contest and are led by Sydney Harris (16.9) and Bridget Utberg (11.5).

SERIES WITH THE CHIPPEWAS: This will be the 71st meeting between the two schools with CMU holding a slight 36-34 all-time advantage. CMU has won 16 of the last 20 contest, but the RedHawks have won the past two (both in Oxford). Miami's last win at McGuirk was back on Jan. 16, 2019.

NOW "BOARD"ING: The RedHawks rank just ninth in the MAC in rebounding (35.4 boards/game) but, have out-rebounded seven of their last 11 opponents, including +9 on the boards in the win at NIU and +7 last Wednesday in the win versus the Broncos. 

HOME SWEET HOME: Miami is 8-6 at home this season and 1-10 away from Millett Hall. That lone road win was on Jan. 18 at NIU (74-69).
