NOTES
- Sunday’s game will serve as the annual Barn Burner Trophy game where Indiana holds a five-game win streak. The Hoosiers trail in the all-time series that started in 1994, 9-19, but hold its longest ever win streak in the series currently, which began in 2017.
- Indiana comes off a 72-65 win over Nebraska at home on Thursday night to extend a variety of win streaks. It marks its eight-straight win of the season, 14 straight Big Ten games dating back to Jan. 4, 2020. Additionally, an 11-game road win streak is on the line – which is currently the second active win streak away from home in the country. Only FGCU (24) has a longer streak in Division I.
- Against the Huskers, senior guard Grace Berger led the way for Indiana with a season-high 22 points and team-high seven rebounds. Senior forward Aleksa Gulbe added 17 points and four steals while graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary scored 13 points, six rebounds and three steals.
- Defense continues to be the name of the game for the Hoosiers, who are leading the Big Ten in scoring defense. The staunch defense limits opponents to just 57.1 points per game as not one of IU’s 15 opponents have yet to score over 70 points.
