NOTES
- Indiana is coming off an 81-45 win over Nebraska to open conference play on Sunday. They were led by a pair of double-doubles from junior forward Aleksa Gulbe and freshman forward Kiandra Browne. It marked the first time an IU duo has recorded double-doubles in the same game since Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill did it against Illinois on Feb. 25, 2017.
- Four players average double figures behind sophomore forward Mackenzie Holmes.
- A staple of a Teri Moren team is defense and the Hoosiers are living up to that expectation this season. They are currently leading the Big Ten and 13th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 52.0 points per game through five games.
- The Hoosiers look to increase their win streak in the series with Minnesota on Wednesday, having won the last three meetings and six of the last seven overall dating back to 2016.
- IU came in at No. 19 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll, its 24th-straight week in the national poll.
