NOTES
- Indiana swept the Big Ten Player of the Week awards for the first time this season as senior forward Mackenzie Holmes was the player of the week and freshman guard Yarden Garzon was named the freshman of the week. It was the first time IU has won both awards since it began giving the freshman of the week award in 2009-10. The duo led Indiana to a pair of wins at the Las Vegas Invitational, where Holmes average 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and shot 88 percent from the floor. Garzon averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game to earn IU its first freshman of the week since 2020.
- Nationally, the Hoosiers are ranked in the top 10 in five categories in the latest NCAA Division I rankings. Most notably, IU is third in assist/turnover ratio, fourth in field goal percentage and seventh in scoring offense.
- All-time, Indiana is 8-7 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. It will repeat with a top 10 matchup again this season as it also faced No. 2/3 NC State at home in the version of the challenge in 2021.
- IU jumped to its highest ever rating in the USA Today/WBCA coaches poll on Tuesday as it came in at No. 4. It bested its highest ranking of No. 5 set last season and cracked the top 5 in the Associated Press top 25 on Monday, coming in at No. 5.
