NOTES
- Indiana and Michigan State meet for the only time in the regular season on Thursday. The Hoosiers have won four of the last five and seven of the last 10 in the series dating back to the 2017-18 season.
- IU is a perfect 11-0 on the season at home, one of 24 teams in NCAA Division I women's basketball to remain perfect at home. It is the only Big Ten team to hold an undefeated record on its home court this season.
- Senior guard Sara Scalia recently moved into the top 10 in a single season for three pointers made with 66 as she added three more to her tally on Sunday at Ohio State. The Stillwater, Minn. native on pace to break Amanda Cahill's record of 78 makes (2017-18) as she averages 3.1 per game (seventh nationally).
- Holmes inches closes in on taking over the top spot in scoring the IU history books. She enters Thursday's game just 45 points shy of Tyra Buss's (2014-18) record of 2,364 points. Through her five seasons, the Gorham, Maine native has collected 2,320 points and is only the second player to score over 2,000 points in her IU career.
- Senior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil continues to be the Hoosiers' floor general along with added scoring to begin conference play. The Greenfield, Tenn. native is averaging a team 12.2 points per game in Big Ten action while dishing out 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds. Moore-McNeil is generally tasked with guarding the opponent's leading scorer and has picked up just 18 fouls in 370 minutes of action during league play (one foul every 20.5 minutes).
