ALL-TIME SERIES VS UIC
The Green Bay women's basketball team has fared well against UIC in both recent history and not-so-recent history, holding an all-time record of 68-6 against the Flames. The Phoenix has pieced together 17-straight wins and claimed victories in 23 of the past 24 meetings. Green Bay has never lost to UIC at home.

LINDSTROM MAKING LEAPS
In Green Bay's matchup at Oakland, Jessica Lindstrom turned in her ninth double-double of the season and 32nd of her career with 22 points and 13 rebounds. She also became the program's all-time leader for rebounds in the division I era. Lindstrom currently ranks fourth (first in the D1 era) on Green Bay's all-time rebounding list with 871, third is Julie Steeno with 889.

MARVELOUS MONTH FOR THE PHOENIX
Green Bay has historically dominated the month of January, owning a 29-1 record over the past four seasons in the first month of the New Year. The Phoenix has won 15-straight games in January and is undefeated on the road in that four-year span.

THE RISING PHOENIX
Green Bay continued its climb in both the AP Poll and USA Today Coaches Poll this week, rising to No. 22 and No. 21, respectively. The Phoenix ranks second on collegeinsider.com's mid-major poll and third on espn.com's mid-major poll.

GREEN BAY VS TOP 100 RPI
It was apparent Green Bay was going to face major tests early and often in the 2017-18 campaign when the schedule was unveiled back in July. Although the season is far from over, it's fair to say the Phoenix has dominated to date, currently owning an 8-1 record against teams in the top 100 RPI.

DEFENSIVE DISPLAY
It is no secret that Green Bay's defense has been locking down teams all season, currently boasting the best statistical defense in the country and allowing only 45.7 PPG. Green Bay held Cleveland State to just 12 points in the opening half and followed that up by also allowing IUPUI just 12 points in the opening half of Monday's game last week. If you thought those outings were impressive, Green Bay's matchup at Detroit Mercy cut that total in half and allowed just six points in the first half.

BATTLE ON THE BOARDS
Green Bay has dominated the battle on the boards all season long, outrebounding its opponents in 17 of its 19 matchups this season. In total, the Phoenix holds a 740-560 rebounding edge over its opposition through 19 games.
 
DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE
Green Bay currently owns the best statistical defense in the country, allowing a lowly 45.7 PPG. That stat alone is impressive, but when you factor in that five matchups this season have featured opponents that competed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament - one of which was the national runner-up - it's even more impressive. Green Bay ranks 12th in RPI entering the matchup with UIC.
 
PAINTING A PICTURE
Green Bay has dominated the paint this season and held an advantage scoring inside every game this year. All told, the Phoenix has outscored its opponents 654-241 in the paint through 19 games and held a double-digit scoring advantage inside in 17 games this year.
