PREVIOUSLY WITH THE BUCKEYES
Indiana and Ohio Stat met just two weeks ago on New Year's Eve in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes came away with the 85-70 victory as it opened up the game on a 32-13 advantage in the first quarter and never looked back. Senior guard Tyra Buss had a game-high 24 points while junior forward Kym Royster set a new career-high 22 points to go along with eight rebounds.
THAT SCHEDULE IS TOUGH
The Hoosiers will meet their fifth ranked team this season in No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday. They are in the midst of a three-game swing that features ranked opponents in No. 23 Michigan, No. 10 Ohio State and No. 11 Maryland on Tuesday. IU has faced three of those four opponents on the road. Currently, Indiana has played the sixth toughest schedule in the NCAA this season which is leading the Big Ten.
YEANEY ADDS SPARK
Freshman guard Bendu Yeaney provided a spark for the Hoosiers Wednesday night against No. 23 Michigan. She scored a career-high 18 points and tied Tyra Buss to lead the Hoosiers in scoring in the loss. It marked her seventh game in double figures this season as she also tied a career-high four assists against the Wolverines and set a career-high four assists.
INDIANA DOWNS PURDUE
Opening up the game on a 18-5 advantage in the first quarter, Indiana cruised to a 72-54 victory over Purdue on Jan. 6. Four players scored in double figures led by 19 points from senior guard Tyra Buss. Senior forward Amanda Cahill added 16 points, six rebounds and six assists in the win as Indiana shot a season-high 58.3 percent from the floor while holding the Boilermakers to a 34 percent clip on the afternoon.
BUSS NAMED TO BIG TEN HONOR ROLL
Senior guard Tyra Buss earned a spot on the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll announced by the league on Monday. She registered 23.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals per game last week to earn her second honor roll distinction this season. She also earned honors during week one of the season with her double-double of 28 points and 11 assists against Arkansas State went along with five steals, 10-for-12 from the free throw line and two rebounds. It also marks the third weekly honor roll award for her career.
BUSS SETS SCORING RECORD
Senior guard Tyra Buss broke the Indiana Women's Basketball record for points scored on Jan. 3 at Penn State. She eclipsed former record holder Denise Jackson's 1,917 points set in 1983-84 with her game-high 27 points against the Lady Lions and has now scored 1,968 career points. She ranks eighth amongst all-time players at Indiana (men's and women's) and is on pace to become the sixth player ever to wear an Indiana jersey to score over 2,000 points.
MORE RECORDS TO BREAK
With records set in points scored, free throws made and free throws attempted, Buss will set her sights on the steals (253) and assists (483) records at Indiana. Currently, Buss ranks second in both of those categories.

Her +7.7 points per game this season is one of the best improvements in the Big Ten, ranking fourth among all returning players.
