NOTES
- Indiana has won eight-straight Barn Burner Trophy games, dating back to the 2016-17 season. In its most recent victory last season, the Hoosiers outlasted Purdue, 74-68, behind 20 points from then senior guards Chloe Moore-McNeil and Sara Scalia.
- Purdue leads the all-time Barn Burner Trophy series, 18-13, but it's the Hoosiers who have held the edge as of late. Six of the last eight wins in the trophy series have been by double figures.
- The Hoosiers will look to right the ship on Saturday as it is coming off a pair of losses to Minnesota and Michigan on the road on Sunday and Wednesday.
- Senior forward Karoline Striplin highlighted the offense at Michigan, scoring a season-high 28 points. She went 12-for-19 from the floor and had seven rebounds along with three steals and a block in the effort.
- In her last nine games, graduate student guard Sydney Parrish has become a consistent double-digit scoring threat for the Hoosiers. She has scored in double figures in eight of the last nine outings and in that span that started on Jan. 12 at Iowa, Parrish has averaged 13.8 points per game. She's shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 37 percent from the 3-point line as well.
