ABOUT THE COACHES
Teri Moren - Career Record: 281-183 (16th Season), Indiana Record: 82-53 (5th Season)
Jeff Curtis - Career Record: 216-195 (15th Season), Northwood Record: Same

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES
Northwood returns two starters from its 2017-18 campaign where it finished 17-11 overall and 12-8 in GLIAC play. They will be led by senior center Grace German who averaged 6.9 minutes per contest as a junior.  Senior guard Zakiya Wells is back for Northwood as well, starting in all 28 games and led with 3.4 assists per game and 3.9 points. The Timberwolves are picked to finish fourth overall in the GLIAC south this season. They will be coming off another exhibition contest, as they face Central Michigan on Thursday.
 
NOTES
- Indiana is coming off winning the 2018 WNIT Championship and returns three starters from its 23-14 campaign, their third-straight 20-win season.
- Head Coach Teri Moren enters her fifth season at the helm of the program.
- Senior forward Kym Royster (10.2 ppg., 6.0 rpg.) and sophomore guards Jaelynn Penn (10.8 ppg., 4.9 rpg., 2.1 apg.) and Bendu Yeaney (8.4 ppg., 5.0 rpg.) also return.
- IU also welcomes five newcomers to its lineup this season, including two transfers in Ali Patberg and Brenna Wise who sat out last season. Three freshmen join the fold in Grace Berger (Louisville, Ky.), Aleksa Gulbe (Riga, Latvia) and Chanel Wilson (Powder Springs, Ga.).
- Tonight's exhibition matchup will once again serve as the team's annual ALS Awareness Game. Fans are encouraged to wear the color red in honor of Coach Moren's late mother Barb, who died of the disease in 2014. 

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers open up the regular season on Wednesday at home when it hosts Milwaukee. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET.

Just saw this from Greg Murray - Grace German (starting center) is Branch McCracken's great-granddaughter. Branch is her mom's dad's dad.     

Proverbial small world.

Much better in the 2nd quarter.

@Dwall_1: Amanda Cahill and Tyra Buss are in the house to watch #iuwbb.

[Hoosierfan31]

I'm hoping to see a little more from them in the second half. I'm not overly impressed with these stats..but unfortunately not in the hall tonight I have to work

[ccgeneral]

IU 62-39 end of Q3. Penn leads the way with 14, Berger 11, Wise and Patberg 9 each.

[ccgeneral]

Hoosiers win 78-52. Patberg/Wise are nice additions. Berger as advertised and Gulbe/Marchese solid off the bench. Should be a fun season. We host Milwaukee on Wednesday @ 7 pm in our opener.

Just got home so have no idea how the game has actually gone, but Royster's halftime stats aren't what I would have expected from our senior center.    Something I'm missing?

Typed the above before I saw the final game stats and she obviously had a much better second half.

Jeremy Price - Injury updates from Teri Moren:  Bendu Yeaney has been dealing with Achilles soreness, could've played if necessary but held out as precautionary measure. Jaelynn Penn has been battling an ankle sprain, just aggravated it a little tonight.
