LAST MEETING

NOTES
- The Hoosiers are fresh off a pair of wins at home last week against then No. 9/11 Maryland and Wisconsin. Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes led the way in the pair of games with 22.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and shot 72.0 percent from the floor while freshman guard Yarden Garzon added 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and shot 73.3 percent from the floor and 70.0 percent at the 3-point line.
- Garzon was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USWBA) Tamika Catchings National Freshman of the Week for her performances last week.
- Indiana is looking for its 15th-straight win in the series with the Illini, as it took the earlier meeting already this season. The Hoosiers held off Illinois, 65-61, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in the Big Ten opener on Dec. 4. Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes paced three players in double figures with 23 points, six rebounds and four blocks. IU's win streak in the series dates back to the 2013-14 season and is its longest against another Big Ten foe.
- Ninth year head coach Teri Moren picked up a record tying 188th career win at the helm of the Hoosiers on Sunday against Wisconsin. She ties Jim Izard's 188 wins that he amassed over 12 seasons (1988-00). She is already the program's all-time winningest coach in Big Ten play, pulling in 88 victories in league play.
