NOTES
- Senior day festivities will take place on Sunday afternoon for graduate students Grace Berger and Alyssa Geary. Geary spent her only season with the Hoosiers in 2022-23, appearing in 18 games for the Cream and Crimson. Berger, who is in her fifth season with the Hoosiers, is an All-American honorable mention, three-time All-Big Ten honoree and three-time Academic All-Big Ten award winner amongst a variety of career marks set during her time with the program. Berger is the only player in women's basketball history to record a triple-double, as she owns three of them in her career, and is the program's all-time winningest player with 116 career wins at IU.
- Indiana will go for its seventh-straight win in the Barn Burner Trophy series between the two teams. While the Boilers lead the all-time series, 19-10, Indiana has won six-straight in the series dating back to 2017. It's the longest win streak for the Hoosiers in the trophy game, which started in 1994.
- Thursday's win over Michigan extended IU's win streak to 13 games, the longest under ninth year head coach Teri Moren and the third longest in program history. The Hoosiers other longest win streaks were 14 games in 2013-14 and 15 games in 1971-72. Other active win streaks for IU includes 17-straight at home dating back to last year's NCAA Tournament run and all 15 games this season. It's the fifth-longest NCAA home win streak. They have also won six-straight on the road, which is ninth in the nation.
- With a win on Sunday against Purdue, Indiana can secure at least a share of the Big Ten regular season title. Outright title implications still hang in the balance dependent on the Iowa vs. Nebraska matchup at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday and next Sunday's regular season finale at Iowa.
- The Hoosiers will welcome around 50 program alumni to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Sunday for Alumni Day. It will honor all alum on the court at halftime but will specifically honor the 1983 Big Ten regular season champions between the first and second quarter. It's the 40th anniversary of the teams first and only Big Ten regular season title to date.
