FOURTH-STRAIGHT OPENER WIN

BUSS NAMED BIG TEN HONOR ROLL
Senior guard Tyra Buss was awarded for her season opening play on Monday, when the Big Ten announced her to the Player of the Week Honor Roll. Her double-double of 28 points and 11 assists went along with five steals, 10-for-12 from the free throw line and two rebounds. It marked the second time in her career she's been named to the weekly honor roll.
WARTHEN SHINES IN DEBUT
Coming off the bench in her collegiate debut, freshman Keyanna Warthen was one of five players in double figure with 11 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out six assists.
BUSS, CAHILL PRESEASON ALL-B1G
Seniors Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill were selected as All-Big Ten preseason honorees announced by the league on October 23. The duo made Indiana one of three schools with multiple preseason selections.
HOOSIERS CRUISE PAST GANNON IN EXHIBITION
Five players scored in double figures led by senior Tyra Buss as Indiana played its only exhibition of the season on Monday night against Gannon. Buss scored 23 points while adding nine points and seven steals in the win. Kym Royster, Jaelynn Penn and Keyanna Warthen each added 12 points while Bendu Yeaney scored 10 points. The Hoosiers used a 26-5 advantage in the third quarter to pull away from the Lady Knights.
CAHILL NAMED TO CHERYL MILLER AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LIST
Senior forward Amanda Cahill was named as one of 20 players to the Cheryl Miller Award Preseason Watch List on Wednesday. The award, in its inaugural year, will honor the nation's top small forward. This list will be narrowed down to 10 in mid-February and then 5 finalists will be selected in March that will be presented to Cheryl Miller and the selection committee. The winner of this award will be presented live at an inaugural awards ceremony hosted by the Basketball Hall of Fame, Women's Basketball Coaches Association, and ESPN at the NCAA Women's Final Four in Columbus, Ohio.
THREE INK LETTERS FOR #IUWBB
Indiana picked up three members of the class of 2022 on Wednesday during the early signing period. Grace Berger (Louisville, Ky.), Chanel Wilson (Powder Springs, Ga.) and Aleksa Gulbe (Riga, Latvia) have all signed their national letters of intent to play for the Hoosiers next season.
ON PACE TO BREAK RECORDS
Entering her senior season, Buss is set to break records in a variety of categories. Moving to seventh place all-time on Saturday, Buss is now 288 points away from tying the school record in points scored. She also moved into a tied for second all-time in assists (411) and is also on pace to break records in steals, free throws made and free throws attempted. The WBCA Honorable Mention All-American is a two-time All-Big Ten First Team selection and was a nominee for the Wade Trophy and was a Naismith Trophy Preseason Top 50 as a junior.
CAHILL MAKES HER MARK
Senior Amanda Cahill will also move her way up in the IU record books this season, already making her mark in points scored and rebounds. She's just the fifth-ever player to record over 1,300 points and 800 rebounds as she ranks sixth all-time with 8232 rebounds and 15th in scoring (1,334).
WHAT'S RETURNING
Along with Buss and Cahill, the Hoosiers also return junior Kym Royster (averaged 4.2 ppg., 2.6 rpg.) who appeared in 33 games last year and made five starts at the beginning of 2016-17. Sophomore Bre Wickware also returns for IU, as she made appearances in 33 of 34 games last season.
THE SCHEDULE
Indiana will face 13 non-conference opponents in 2017-18, seven of which are coming off postseason appearances last season. The slate starts off with four-straight home games before traveling to the Hilton Concord Classic hosted by Saint Mary's in Moraga, Calif. Highlights also include home games against Louisville (B1G/ACC Challenge) and Auburn before traveling to the West Palm Invite to play Virginia and Missouri. The Hoosier will also face five more postseason teams during Big Ten play (Ohio State, Maryland, Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa).
FRESH(MEN) FACES
Indiana's roster will feature a host of new players including five freshmen - Alexis Johnson, Linsey Marchese, Jaelynn Penn, Keyanna Warthen and Bendu Yeaney - who will make an immediate impact. Overall, the Class of 2021 was been ranked as the No. 13 signing class in the country by ProspectsNation.com. In addition, ESPN, ProspectsNation.com, All-Star Girls Report and Collegiate Girls Basketball Report have all ranked IU as the top class amongst the Big Ten.
UP NEXT
The Hoosiers welcome Western Kentucky on Friday night. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with coverage on BTN Plus and WHCC 105.1 FM.
