NOTES
- Indiana has owned the series in recent years with the Wildcats, holding five-straight victories headed into Wednesday night’s contest. The Hoosiers have swept Northwestern in the series in the last two seasons and the win streak dates back to the 2020-21 season.
- Junior guard Yarden Garzon paces IU as its leading scorer through 14 games, averaging 14.4 points per game and has scored in double digits 12 times. Early in her junior season, the Ra’anana, Israel native has made a team-high 37 3-pointers and shoots 37.8 percent from long range. The 2025 Cheryl Miller Award preseason honoree is shooting an overall 40.7 percent from the field and is one of IU’s best free throw shooters at 94.3 percent.
- IU hosted the nation’s top ranked team for the first time in 30 years in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Saturday when it fell to UCLA, 73-62. Despite going toe-to-toe with the Bruins for much of the game, a second-quarter slump was something the Hoosiers could overcome in the end. They scored just five points in the frame while only being outscored by two in the other three periods. Three scored in double figures behind 19 points from junior guard Yarden Garzon.
- The program is now just one win shy of marking the 900th victory in school history.
UP NEXT
The Hoosiers remain on the road and head to Iowa City to battle the Hawkeyes on Saturday. Tipoff at Carver Hawkeye Arena is slated for 3 p.m. ET on Peacock.
