NOTES
- Fourth year guard Lenée Beaumont had a breakout year for the Hoosiers in 2025-26 and returns as the team's best scorer from a year ago with her 13.3 points per game. She started all 32 games and shot 43.1 percent from the floor. The Lisle, Ill. native scored in double figures 25 times and averaged 4.8 rebounds along with 3.0 assists per game while shooting a 86.3 percent clip at the free throw line.
- Third year forward Zania Socka-Nguemen is back at full strength after missing a majority of the 2025-26 season with a lower leg injury. In her 11 appearances, Socka-Nguemen averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds and finished with a team-high six double-doubles.
- Second year forward Maya Makalusky returns as a staple in IU's lineup after earning a place on the Big Ten All-Freshman team in 2025-26. The Fishers, Ind. native averaged 9.7 points in her rookie season while draining 64 3-pointers, which was third-most by a freshman in school history. Makalusky started in 22 games and scored in double figures 14 times.
- The Hoosiers brought in four transfers in the offseason with the addition of fifth year guard Kenzie Hare (Iowa State), fifth year forward Alisa Williams (Iowa State), fourth year forward Malia Samuels (USC) and fourth year forward Jess Petrie (Nebraska). All four played at Power 4 institutions last season and all advanced to the NCAA Tournament with their respective teams. The quartet brings in a combined 378 games played and 139 career games started.
- Indiana brought in its first-ever Top 10 recruiting class in 2026. IU is the eighth-best class in the nation, according to ESPN, and third-best in the Big Ten. Forward Addy Nyemchek became the first high school recruit to play in the McDonald's All-American game and is rated No. 25 in the class. Guard GiGi Battle (No. 29) was a Jersey Mike's Naismith High School All-American and guard Ashlinn James (No. 66) was Kentucky Ms. Basketball in 2026.
