January 17, 2025 | Women's Basketball
SEATTLE – Saturday afternoon will be one for the Washington history books, as UW will be sending Husky basketball legend Kelsey Plum's No. 10 jersey into the rafters of Alaska Airlines Arena.
Tipoff is set for 2:10 p.m. inside Alaska Airlines Arena. Plum's No. 10 jersey will go up into the rafters during halftime, which will be extended to 20 minutes.
The game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network with A.J. Kanell (play-by-play) and Elise Woodward (analyst) on the call. Gary Hill will call the game on 1090 KPTR-AM.
Saturday's game is sold out. Fans looking to attend the game are encouraged to purchase tickets through SeatGeek, the official ticket marketplace of Washington Athletics.
The first 3,000 fans will receive a limited-edition Kelsey Plum bobblehead, and everyone in attendance will receive a Forever 10 rally towel, courtesy of Pepsi.

LAST TIME OUT
Washington dropped both of their road conference games to then-No. 20 Michigan State and Michigan, a Wolverine team that recently dropped out of the Top-25.
The Huskies were led by a 30-piece from Sayvia Sellers, her second career 30-point game.
Hannah Stines added 16 for Washington on 7-of-8 shooting, while Elle Ladine had 15 points and five rebounds.
SCOUTING REPORT
Purdue, who is led by fourth-year head Katie Gearlds, is still looking for its still Big Ten win this season as the Boilermakers are 0-6 in conference play to start the 2024-25 season.
Purdue is 7-10 overall and has lost its last five games, four of those against ranked Big Ten opponents.
The Huskies and the Boilermakers have not faced off since 2007 when UW won 66-65 at home, the only time the two teams have played in Seattle. Overall, the Dawgs are 1-3 against Purdue.
