• Northwestern earned a 72-68 victory in the lone matchup between the teams this season on Feb. 24 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana led for nearly 35 minutes of game time and by as many as 13 points in the first half before ultimately falling.

• Senior forward Sam Alexis collected 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the floor. Senior forward Reed Bailey added 12 points and five rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench.
• Redshirt senior guard Conor Enright posted 12 points and five assists.
Wilkerson Named Second Team All-Big Ten
• Indiana redshirt senior guard Lamar Wilkerson was named All-Big Ten Second Team by the league's coaches and Third Team by select media members.
• Wilkerson is the first Hoosier since Kel'el Ware (Third Team in 2024) to be voted All-Big Ten. Trayce Jackson-Davis (2022) was the last IU player to be named to the B1G second team.
• The veteran guard averaged 21.0 points per game, the second-highest figure in the Big Ten. Wilkerson is on track to be the first player since Brian Evans (1995-96) to average 21.0-plus points in a season for Indiana.
• The Ashdown, Ark., native is one of four players nationally to average north of 20.0 points and at least 3.0 made 3-pointers per game this season.
• Wilkerson made 103 shots behind the arc during the regular season, the second most in program history. He trails only Steve Alford's total of 107 during the 1986-87 campaign. His free throw percentage of 89.3% is on pace to finish third in program history for players with more than 100 made free throws in a single season.
