The last time the Cardinals had a string of at least four games with 30 field goals was during the 2014-15 season, connecting on that many in four-consecutive contests: 38 vs. Western Kentucky (Nov. 25, 2014); 39 vs. Lafayette (Nov. 28, 2014); 35 vs. Valparaiso (Nov. 30, 2014); and, 35 vs. Iowa (Dec. 4, 2014).

Louisville Individual Notes
- Asia Durr scored a career-high 34 points, shooting 12 of 18 from the field. She connected on 8 of 13 3-point attempts.
- Durr's 34 points are the most by a UofL player since Shoni Schimmel scored 38 at USF on Jan. 30, 2013.
- Durr's eight 3-pointers – tied for second most in a game in school history – are the most by a UofL player since Shoni Schimmel knocked down nine against Memphis on Jan. 26, 2014.
- Durr is the most recent Cardinal to have seven 3s in two games in one season since Shoni Schimmel achieved the feat during the 2013-14 campaign in consecutive contests. Schimmel connected on seven triples at Houston (Jan. 21, 2014) and then nine against Memphis (Jan. 26, 2014).
- The sophomore boosted her season average to 24.5 points per game, shooting 55.4 percent from the field. She also is hitting 52.3 percent of her 3-pointers (23 of 44).
- Myisha Hines-Allen, Louisville's only other double-digit scorer, had 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting.
- Hines-Allen needs six more to pass Stephanie Edwards (1,034, 1980-85) for 25th place on the school's all-time scoring list.
- Mariya Moore inched closer to joining the school's 1,000-point club. The junior, who finished a game-high six assists, had three points and needs 16 more to reach the milestone.
- Moore hit one 3-pointer, bumping her career total to 144 to give her sole possession of 10th on the school's career list. She passed Angel McCoughtry, who hit 143 from 2005-09.
- Freshman Ciera Johnson swatted a season-high four shots to go with eight points and four rebounds.
- Briahanna Jackson had a game-high six steals in 28 minutes of action. It is tied for the most she has tallied at UofL (6 against California on Nov. 15, 2015).
