• Jensen's 17 double-doubles are tops in the Big 12.
• Her total is fourth on the school's single-season list and is three away from tying Brittney Martin for second place.
• In addition to Jensen, three other Cowgirls have also logged double-doubles on the year. Coleman has six, while Jentry Holt and Katelyn Loecker each have one.

• Loecker has played in 116 career games, one away from 20th place on the school's all-time list.
