NOTES
- Indiana advances to its second-consecutive Sweet Sixteen with a win over Princeton, 56-55, on Monday in Bloomington. Senior guard Grace Berger's layup with 29 seconds to go was the go ahead while a steal from graduate student guard Ali Patberg gave the Hoosiers the ball back with 1.6 to go as senior forward Aleksa Gulbe hit a pair at the line for insurance.
- The win on Monday helped match IU's most wins in a single season with 24. The Hoosiers went 24-8 in the 2019-20 season as well.
- IU holds an all-time record of 8-7 in eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
- Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes and senior guard Grace Berger were named WBCA All-Regional finalist on Thursday by the organization. The duo are 52 players nationwide to earn all-region honors and are now up for All-American honors later this month.
- Berger has paced Indiana through the first two games of the NCAA Tournament with 16.5 points and 6.5 rebounds while Holmes averages 14.5 points and a team-high 8.0 rebounds per game.
- Eight Hoosiers were named Academic All-Big Ten honorees for their performances in the classroom. To qualify, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 GPA or higher. Those who made the list included Kiandra Browne, Grace Berger, Nicole Cardaño-Hillary, Mackenzie Holmes, Chloe Moore-McNeil, Ali Patberg, Grace Waggoner and Arielle Wisne.
