NOTES
- Indiana shot a blistering 71.7 percent from the floor as it blew past Evansville, 109-56, on Monday night. Not only did it set a new single game program record, it marked the highest percentage shot by any NCAA Division I team this season. They also went 56.3 percent from the 3-point line (9-for-16). It's 54-point margin of victory was tied for the 10th largest win in program history.
- Sophomore guard Yarden Garzon was in the zone on Monday night as she put up a career-high 30 points by going 12-for-14 from the field in the win over Evansville. The Ra'anana, Israel native went 5-for-5 from the field to start the game as she also went 3-for-4 from the 3-point line in the win. It marked the first 30-point scoring effort of her career.
- As non-conference play wraps up on Friday, Indiana will look to extend its winning streak at home against non-league opponents. The Hoosiers have won 16-straight non-con home games, dating back to the 2021-22 season with its last loss against NC State in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in December 2021. Since 2018-19, IU is 45-9 in non-conference action.
- Indiana's bench scored 31 points in the win over Evansville on Monday night. It was the third time this season the bench has scored 30-points or more, led by freshman guard Leneé Beaumont's nine points. They have reached the 30-plus point mark twice before this season, against EIU (39) and Murray State (37).
