NOTES
- The Hoosiers overcame a fourth-quarter deficit which including trailing at the five minute mark to defeat Rutgers, 79-69, on Wednesday night at Jersey Mike's Arena. Senior guard Shay Ciezki led the way with 21 points while three others scored in double figures. Junior forward Edessa Noyan pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds and the first player since 2024 to grab 15 or more rebounds.
- Indiana has won eight-straight in the series with the Lady Lions, dating back to the 2017-18 season. It has also not lost a home game in the series since the 2014-15 season.
- If the season ended today, the Hoosiers would set a new program record for free throw percentage currently sitting a 79.2 percent. It would top last season's record-breaking performance of 79.0 in 2024-25. Two Hoosiers rank in the Top 50 nationally in free throw percentage with Ciezki averaging 90.6 percent (sixth) and redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont is 43rd overall at 85.7 percent.
- Along with her high scoring efforts, Ciezki also continues to be one of the nation's most efficient shooters, averaging a 50/40/90 for a majority of the season. Currently, she's the only active player scoring 20 or more points per game while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor, 46.3 percent from the 3-point line and 90.6 percent at the free throw line. She could be just the second player in women's college basketball to accomplish the feat as Eva Hogdson from William and Mary recorded the same numbers in 2019-20.
