A Year to Celebrate 
It was a historical season for the 2015-16 Hoosiers as IU made its fifth ever NCAA Tournament appearance and its first since since 2002.  Indiana went on to win its first NCAA Tournament game since 1983 with a 62-58 triumph over Georgia in the first round in South Bend.  Indiana tied a school record for most wins, going 21-12 on the year, and finished fourth in the Big Ten standings, the program's best finish in 18 seasons.  IU's 20 regular season victories set a new school record for most regular season triumphs in a single year.
 
In her second year at the helm of the program, Teri Moren was named Big Ten Coach of the Year as IU improved its win total from 2014-15 by six games overall and improved its conference win total by eight games to finish 12-6 this season. Indiana's eight-win improvement in Big Ten play, along with making a leap eight spots in the conference standings from the previous year, were the program's biggest jumps in both of those categories in school history in back-to-back seasons.
 
Sophomores Tyra Buss (First Team) and Amanda Cahill (Second Team) earned All-Big Ten honors. Buss became the first Hoosier to earn first team accolades since 2006. With both Buss and Cahill receiving All-Big Ten recognition, they became the first pair of Hoosiers to earn all-conference honors in the same season since 2010.
 
The Hoosiers finished a perfect 14-0 in Assembly Hall, the longest such longest such streak without a loss at home and tied for most home wins in school history. IU was the only Big Ten team without a home loss in 2015-16 and one of only 14 teams nationally without a home defeat.
 
IU defeated three ranked opponents on the year, tying for the most wins over ranked foes in regular season play in program history. It was just the fourth time ever that IU had defeated three ranked foes in regular season play, the last coming in 1997-98.
 
Indiana connected on 518 free throws, the third-most free throws made as a team in a single year in program history and the most made by an IU team since 1997-98. The Hoosiers outscored their opponents 518-306 (+212) from the free throw line this season.  Those free throws helped IU tally 2,361 points on the season, the third-most points ever scored in school history in a single year.
