NOTES
- Indiana nabbed its third Top 25 win of the season with a 72-67 win over No. 23 Iowa on Sunday in Iowa City. Junior guard Yarden Garzon lit up the scoreboard with a 21-point performance against the Hawkeyes where she went 5-for-5 from the 3-point line.
- Garzon's effort tied eight other players for the school's single season 3-point record and the best performance from long range since Ali Patberg went 4-for-4 versus Illinois in the 2019-20 season.
- Graduate student guard Sydney Parrish added 15 points on three 3-pointers against the Hawkeyes as she begins to return to form after missing time with a knee injury in late November and December. She also hit three triples in the win at Northwestern.
- The Hoosiers have won 17 of the last 18 meetings in the series with Illinois, suffering its only hiccup last season in a loss in Champaign. They also hold an eight-game home win streak over their border foe, last falling at home to the Illini in 2012.

A battled with No. 4/5 USC is set for Sunday afternoon when the two teams face off in a nationally televised broadcast on NBC at 12 p.m. ET in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
