Sophomore guard Lexus Bargesser had eight points in the second quarter as IU went 9-for-16 from the floor and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. It closed the first half by going 5-for-7 from the floor and took its largest lead of the half into the locker room at the break, 35-21.
Indiana got a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Yarden Garzon to start the third quarter, but it went south for the Hoosiers after that as the Wolverines pulled within three on a 19-8 edge.
Keeping it a one possession game, the Hoosiers got an and-1 from senior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil but Michigan pulled away in the final 3:33 of the fourth on back-to-back 3-pointers.
