- Senior guard Ali Patberg and junior guard Grace Berger have each been named to respective Top 10 watch lists by the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.

- IU comes in at No. 10 in the latest NET rankings, which replaced the previously used RPI system. They are the second highest Big Ten team in the NET rankings this season.
