Madison Landry and Tyrell Laing have many things in common.
They're both six feet tall, they're both fourth-year students at UNBC and both are guards on their respective T-Wolves' basketball teams.
But, there's another big stat they currently share.
They both sit in the top-two spots for points per game in Canada West basketball to date (Feb. 1) for the 2019-20 season.
Landry is a huge reason why the Lady Timberwolves are where they are at this point in the season.
The Duchess Park graduate is currently first in the conference for points per game, averaging 19.8 a night, and is also averaging 4.5 rebounds per game, 2.8 assists per game, an 82 per cent free throw percentage, a 28.9 three-point percentage and holds a 39.1 field goal percentage on the season.
Landry also sits in the top five of other Canada West categories.
She's second in free throws made (105/128), second in points (336), fourth in field goals made (109/279), third in minutes per game (34.5) and third in minutes played (586).
Right now, the UNBC women look primed to make the postseason with an 8-9 record.
They sit eighth in Canada West standings with one game remaining tonight against Regina before returning home for the last two against MacEwan.

Laing and the UNBC men have struggled this year with a 4-13 record and hanging onto their postseason hopes after another loss last night (Jan. 31) against Regina.
Despite those struggles, he's second in Canada West for points per game with 21.6.
First place, to date, belongs to Ja'Qualyn Gilbreath of Trinity Western University (27 points per game), who's been carrying his team in spite of the Spartans still trying to find a win before season's end (0-17).
Laing's also averaging 3.4 rebounds per game, 3.1 assists per game, an 88.6 free throw percentage, a 33.7 three-point percentage and 43.4 field goal percentage.
He also sits in the top-three for field goal percentage (third), second in free throws made (78 out of 88) and third overall in points (346).
Q3: Although @UNBCBasketball trails @ReginaCougars 46-68 after 3, Tyrell Laing pulls off this beautiful move for his 17th and 18th point of the night, breaking the season season points record for the TWolves! More at @CanadaWest TV! pic.twitter.com/rbQ8tBs9dH
