NOTES
- The Hoosiers will look to make history on Thursday night as it does for win number 20 of the season. It would be the fastest to 20 wins in program history, notching 20 wins in 26 games. The previous best was 29 games in the 2008-09 and 2016-17 seasons.
- Redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg was named a top 10 finalist for the Nancy Lieberman award and one of 30 on the 2020 Citizen's Naismith Trophy Midseason Team. She is the team's leading scorer with 13.6 points per game and 5.3 assists per game this season while scoring in double figures a team-high 19 times.
- IU is coming off a 57-53 win at Nebraska on Sunday. Building a 25-point lead in the first half, the Huskers would make a run late in the game but a reverse layup by sophomore guard Grace Berger and a pair at the line from junior guard Jaelynn Penn was the icing on the cake for Indiana.
- Indiana and Illinois meet for the second time this season on Thursday night. The Hoosiers extend their win streak in the series to nine-games when it defeated the Fighting Illini, 83-42, on Jan. 6 in Bloomington.
