LAST MEETING
12/3/20 - W, 71-26 (Bloomington, Ind.)
NOTES
- For the eighth time in the Teri Moren era, Indiana opened the season 3-0 with a 84-56 rout of Bradley on Monday night. Six players scored in double figures again, led by 16 points from second year forward Maya Makalusky. Fifth year Alisa Williams (15 points) and fourth year guard Malia Samuels (13 points) both set new career-highs in scoring in the win.
- Williams is not only leading Indiana in scoring through three games (13.0 ppg.) but has spared IU's bench productivity. The Denton, Texas native has scored in double figures in her minutes off the bench but also set a new career-high 15 points in the win over Bradley. With her efforts combined with first year forward Addy Nyemchek's 9.7 points per game, the Hoosiers bench is averaging 34.0 points per game through three games.
- Taking over as starting point guard, fourth year guard Malia Samuels is posting solid stat lines to start her Indiana career. In three games, the Seattle, Wash. native is averaging 8.7 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 steals and shooting 50 percent from the floor.
