NOTES

• The Hoosiers are fresh off a 67-65 win at UCLA on Sunday to keep them undefeated on the season. Sophomore guard Jaelynn Penn hit a 3-pointer with 29 seconds left that would be the difference maker for Indiana. Penn along with redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg each added 17 points in the victory.
• With Notre Dame's loss at home on Sunday, Indiana now owns the nation's longest active win streak at 13 games. IU also has the eighth longest active home win streak in 15 games which is also the longest in the Big Ten. ­­
• IU also received votes in this week's polls, coming in with five in the AP Top 25 and a vote in the USA Today Coaches Poll. They are one of eight Big Ten teams to be ranked or receiving votes.
• Patberg's performance last week led her to a spot on the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll. For the week, the Columbus, Ind. Native averaged 23.5 points, 6.0 assist, 5.0 rebounds and shot over 50 percent from the floor in wins at Wake Forest and UCLA. Patberg went 51.9 percent from the floor, 80 percent from the 3-point line and 88 percent from the free throw line. She also held a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, as she committed just one turnover against the Bruins. She set a new career-high 30 points at Wake Forest and nearly missed a triple double with 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists at UCLA.
• Improving to 7-0 with the win on Sunday, Indiana continues on its best start under fifth-year head coach Teri Moren. It also continues the best start since 2013-14 when the Hoosiers won 14-straight to open up the season.

We'll be short a player tonight per Jon Blau -  Freshman Aleksa Gulbe rolled an ankle in practice yesterday. She is in a boot today, in street clothes, and will not play.

If I remember correctly the old Knight teams in the late 80s/early 90s used to make more free throws than their opponents attempted.  That tidbit always hung with me for whatever reason.

This team is playing so well together.  Men could stand to take some lessons especially on free throw shooting.

Without Gulbe, and Johnson + Wilson not playing this season (Johnson our for season I think). Very impressed with our growth and toughness

I find it very fascinating our resident Moren hater/doubter has been awfully quiet this season.

I’ve always wondered if that was a parent of a player receiving little PT.

I’m impressed so far this year. Keep it up Ladies!
