NOTES

For the 10^th-consecutive season, Indiana opened up the season with a win as it got past Vermont, 86-43 on Tuesday night.
Freshman guard Yarden Garzon shined in her Hoosier debut with 19 points on 5-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc. She was one of four players in double figures as senior forward Mackenzie Holmes added 16 points and five rebounds.
Returning to the lineup this season are a pair of All-Americans in graduate student guard Grace Berger and Holmes. The pair was named to the 10-member preseason All-Big Ten team.
The Hoosiers were also selected to finish second amongst the Big Ten media and third by the league's coaches in the annual preseason polls.
Seven new players were added to the roster in the offseason in four freshmen and three transfers. Highlighting the freshmen group is Garzon while the trio of transfers has a wealth of experience including the 2020 Indiana Miss Basketball Sydney Parrish, who arrives after two years at Oregon.
Three players earned spots on the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame starting five preseason watch lists in October. Sara Scalia is up for the Ann Meyers Drysdale award (nation's top shooting guard), Grace Berger is a three-time preseason honoree for the Cheryl Miller Award (nation's top small forward) and Mackenzie Holmes repeats on the Lisa Leslie Award (nation's top center).
