Indiana Wraps Up Regular Season at No. 21 Michigan State

 

• Indiana's 18 wins this season marks the most victories for an IU team in a single year since the 2008-09 campaign.
• IU has won 18 or more games in a season 14 times and this year's 18 wins ties for the fourth highest total of wins in a single year in program history.
• This year's Indiana team now holds the school record for most 3-point field goals made in a season as IU has hit 215 this year, surpassing the previous record of 204 (1997-98). IU's 3-point field goal total also cracked the top 10 all time in Big Ten history as the Hoosiers rank 10th for most 3-pointers made in a season.
• Indiana's freshmen have combined to score 1,200 points so far this season which makes up 59.8 percent of IU's total points scored this year. Both of those totals rank better than any other Big Ten freshman class.
• First year players (freshmen, transfers, redshirt players) in the program have accounted for 76.1 percent of Indiana's total points scored so far this season.
• Larryn Brooks broke the IU freshman scoring record at Minnesota as she now has 456 points this season. The record was held for 34 years by Dorothy Reffel (454 points, 1979-80). Brooks also holds the freshman season record for most free throws made in a season (113), is second in 3-point field goals made (55) and fourth in assists in a season (129). She also holds Indiana freshman single game records in scoring (37), assists (10) and 3-pointers made (7).
• Freshman Alexis Gassion achieved her first career double-double at Minnesota (16 pts, 11 reb) and in her last seven games has averaged 14.6 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 2.0 spg and 1.0 bpg while shooting 82.4 percent from the line. In that stretch she's had four games of three or more 3-pointers made.

• Michigan State is tied for first place in the Big Ten standings and a win on Sunday would clinch at least a share of the conference title for the Spartans. MSU is outscoring opponents by over 10 points per game and is outrebounding foes by a plus-7.1 margin. As a team, the Spartans shoot 45.0 percent from the field. A freshmen duo of Aerial Powers (13.5 ppg) and Tori Jankoska (12.6 ppg) lead the Michigan State offense. Powers also leads the team in rebounding with 7.9 rpg and steals with 1.9 spg. Jankoska paces the team in 3-point shooting (.376). Senior Annalise Pickrel scores 12.5 ppg with 7.1 rpg and leads the team in blocks. Becca Mills adds 9.9 ppg and shoots a team best 51.4 percent from the field as Kiana Johnson leads the team in assists and scores 8.4 ppg. Senior Klarissa Bell adds 8.0 ppg.
