ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Behind another 20-point performance from redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg, No. 22 Indiana picked up its first win inside Crisler Center since 2009 in a 78-60 win over Michigan on Sunday afternoon.

KEY MOMENTS

Michigan led by as many as six in the opening frame but a 3-pointer from Wise and a pair at the line by Gulbe cut the deficit to one, 14-13 with 3:20 to go. It was all part of a 11-0 run for the Hoosiers as it led 19-16 after the opening frame.
The lead for IU extended to as many as six in the early few minutes of the second quarter on a 3-pointer from Patberg and a baseline floater for Penn with 7:33 to go.
Michigan would cut it to three, 30-27, but back-to-back buckets from Holmes and a transition bucket from Penn made gave IU its largest lead at seven in the half. But the Hoosiers wouldn't score for the rest of the quarter but maintained a three-point lead, 34-31, at the break.
Indiana would open things up late in the third quarter as Berger found Holmes for a second-chance opportunity at the rim and a Penn 3-pointer gave IU a 54-43 lead with 2:44 to play.
It was start of a 10-0 run for the Hoosiers that extended to the fourth quarter and increased its lead to as many as 21.

NOTABLE

Indiana reaches win No. 23 with the regular season finale victory over the Wolverines. It ties a program record set in the 2017-18 season during the program's run at the WNIT title.
They also win their 13^th Big Ten game this season, setting a new record for wins in a conference season. It bests the program's 12 wins it recorded in 2015-16.
Redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg led the way with 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting which included a 2-for-2 mark from the 3-point line. It's her fourth consecutive game with 20 points or more and sixth this season. She also ended the afternoon with seven assists and three steals.
Three other players ended in double figures behind 14 points from junior guard Jaelynn Penn, 13 points from sophomore guard Grace Berger and 12 points from freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes.
Senior forward Brenna Wise led the way with seven rebounds.
IU held Michigan to 33.9 percent shooting in the game, while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor on its end. The Hoosiers also went 46.2 percent from the 3-point line (6-for-13) and 82.4 percent from the free throw line (14-for-17).

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers will learn their Big Ten Tournament seeding later this afternoon. The tournament runs from March 4-8 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
