NOTES
- Indiana has been the No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament twice before, the last time in 2002 - when it won the tournament title. All-time the Hoosiers are 4-1 as the 5-seed, including in the first ever league tournament in 1995 when it reached the semifinals.
- Five Hoosiers earned spots on All-Big Ten teams in the league's annual postseason awards, announced on Tuesday. Senior guard Grace Berger (first team), senior forward Aleksa Gulbe (second team), junior forward Mackenzie Holmes (second team), graduate student Nicole Cardaño-Hillary (second team and honorable mention) and graduate student guard Ali Patberg (honorable mention) all earned postseason honors. It marked the first time in program history the Hoosiers have placed five on all-conference teams.
- Cardaño-Hillary earned a spot on the All-Defensive team in addition to her second team honors. She is the third player under eighth year head coach Teri Moren to land on the five-person defensive team.
- All-time in the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers are 19-28 and 1-1 against Rutgers in the postseason tournament.
- This will be the first time this season Indiana and Rutgers will meet, having its only other scheduled meeting this season on Dec. 30 postponed due to Scarlet Knight health and safety protocols. The two teams last met in the 2020 Big Ten Tournament, where IU defeated Rutgers, 78-60.
