NOTES
- Indiana returns to the court after a 10-day break. Last week's games against Rutgers and Michigan State were postponed due to COVID concerns within their opponent's programs.
- IU is coming off a 66-45 win over Purdue at Mackey Arena on January 14th. Junior guard Grace Berger led the way with 22 points, seven assists and five rebounds which earned her a spot on the Big Ten Player of the Week honor roll. Sophomore forward Mackenzie Holmes added 20 points and tied a team-high six rebounds.
- The Hoosiers are looking to reverse course with the Wildcats on Sunday after losing the last three in the series. Two of the last four games between the two schools has gone in to overtime and three of the last four games have been decided by six points or less.
- Holmes and Berger lead the effort on the offensive end for Indiana this season. Holmes is the team's leading scorer with 17.5 points per game while Berger adds 15.4 points per contest. The duo has combined to lead the Hoosiers in scoring.
- Defense continues to dominate for Teri Moren's team this season, as it ranks second in the Big Ten in scoring defense by allowing just 55.6 points per game. The Hoosiers have allowed just two teams in 11 games to score over 70 points and have held opponents to under 60 points in eight contests.
