FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Wisconsin women's basketball team will play in the consolation game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Saturday, Nov. 25, at 6:30 p.m. against Boston College.

Here are five things to know before the Badgers matchup against the Eagles.

1. D'YANIS NETS CAREER-HIGH: Freshman, D'Yanis Jimenez played in front of her hometown crowd on Friday, Nov. 24, against the Arkansas Razorbacks. She led the team in scoring with 17 points (6 FG, 2 3FG, 3 FT). The freshman now averages 10.6 points, with a 42.5 field goal percentage.

2. PORTER PUTS UP NUMBERS: Sophomore point guard, Ronnie Porter, led the team in rebounds against Arkansas, grabbing 10. This was her second game of the season in double digits. She was two points away from another double-double, claiming eight points on the night. So far this season, Porter has earned 59 points in five games and averages 7.4 rebounds per game. Adding to her impressive stat line, Porter leads the Big Ten in Steals (15) and steals per game (4.25).

3. WILLIAMS ON TOP: Sophomore, Serah Williams, continues to lead the Badgers in scoring, with 67 points on the campaign. She has also continued to shine defensively, with 11 blocks and six steals. Williams is currently second in the Big Ten for blocks (10) and blocks per game (2.50).

4. FORT MYERS TIP-OFF: After competing in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands just a season ago, Wisconsin continues to play in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. For the first time in the event's history, eight teams, rather than four, will partake in the tournament from Nov. 23-25 at Suncoast Credit Union Arena on Florida South Western State College's campus. The eight teams are divided into two brackets, and Wisconsin will play in the Shell Division, which runs from Nov. 24 to Nov. 25. Aside from Arkansas, the two other teams in the division are Marquette and Boston College.

5. SCOUTING THE EAGLES: Wisconsin will play the Boston College Eagles in the consolation game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off. The two teams last played each other in the 2013-14 season, with the Badgers coming out victorious. The final inside the Kohl Center was 74-59. BC averages 67.5 points per game, with Andrea Daley leading the team in points (92). The Eagles are 3-3 on the season after its loss to RV Marquette in the first game of the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
