Tara Daye is Purdue’s do-it-all engine: efficient, physical, and clutch
In the 2025-26 season, Tara Daye emerged as Purdue’s most reliable two-way guard, leading the Boilermakers in scoring and rebounding while starting every game and flashing unusual production for a guard with 12.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. She brings length, toughness, and steady shot-making, plus the kind of glass-crashing edge that coaches love and opponents hate. Daye’s 21 double-digit scoring games, 73 assists, and 37 steals show a player who impacts winning beyond points. If your team wants a gritty, high-motor creator who can score, rebound, and defend, she’s absolutely worth the roster space.
