NOTES
- Not only will Thursday's game be a battle between the league's two top teams, but will be the first regular season matchup versus Top 5 Big Ten foes since 1993. During that 1992-93 season, three games featured two top 5 teams with the last occurring on March 7, 1993 when No. 4 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Iowa, 72-60.
- The two teams met three times last season, including twice in the regular season and in the Big Ten Tournament championship. Iowa took all three games in the series last year and hold a slight edge in the last 10 games played between the two, winning six of the last 10. A year prior in 2020-21, Indiana swept both meetings between the two schools.
- Indiana picked up its eighth-straight win in the rivalry series with Purdue, in a 69-46 victory inside Mackey Arena on Sunday. The Hoosiers were led by 15 points each from senior forward Mackenzie Holmes and junior guard Sydney Parrish. It was able to pull away in the third quarter, holding Purdue to just two points, the fewest points allowed by any teams since NCAA women's basketball moved to the quarter format in 2015-16.
- Indiana picked up its sixth ranked win of the season against No. 2/5 Ohio State on Jan. 26. It's the most ranked wins in a single season in school history, besting the previous record of five set last season. It also has four wins over the Top 10 this season, the most by any team in NCAA Division I.
- The Hoosiers are led by senior forward Mackenzie Holmes who averages 22.0 points, 7.7 rebounds per game and shoots 69.6 percent from the field.
