NOTES
- All-time, the Hoosiers are 35-13 in season openers and hold a 23-5 record in openers at home. IU has won 10-straight openers including all nine under head coach Teri Moren. It has also started the season at home in nine of the last 10 seasons, its only road opener at Butler in 2021-22.
- Graduate student forward Mackenzie Holmes will have a chance to push her name higher in the IU record books in her final season. She needs 14 points to move in to third place all-time past Karna Abram (1,910) and 21 points from securing second place all-time from Denise Jackson (1,917).
- IU returns four starters from the 2022-23 squad who went 24-8 overall and won the outright regular season Big Ten championship on its way to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Five All-Big Ten players return from that roster including Holmes, senior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil (second team) and honorable mention honorees senior guard Sydney Parrish, senior guard Sara Scalia and sophomore guard Yarden Garzon.
- The Hoosiers being the season ranked in the Top 10 and making its fourth-straight appearance in both national preseason polls. They came in at No. 9 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and WBCA/USA Today coaches poll.
- Indiana head coach Teri Moren needs just one more win to secure her 400th career win. She would be the fifth active coach in the Big Ten to reach 400 career wins. Moren is in her 21st season as a collegiate head coach with stops at Division II UIndy and Indiana State.
