  • Redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg has scored in double figures in seven consecutive games and had her first double-double this season against Maryland with a team-high 16 points and 11 rebounds. She is averaging 13.8 points per game and a team-high 5.4 assists per outing.
  • Sophomore guard Grace Berger is just behind Patberg in scoring with 13.5 points per game while two others in freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes (11.8 ppg.) and junior guard Jaelynn Penn (10.8 ppg.) are all averaging double figures this season.
  • Sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe also recently moved in to a tied for 10th place all-time with 73 career blocks as she leads the way with 40 swats for the Hoosiers this season.
  • Senior forward Brenna Wise is a Top 10 finalist for the Senior CLASS Award. She's the second IU finalist in three seasons as former guard Tyra Buss was also a Top 10 nominee for the award in 2017-18. Fans can vote unlimited times daily for Wise to win the award at seniorclassaward.com.
  • Indiana has owned the series with the Huskers as of late, winning four of the last five in the series including an 82-78 win in the Vault last season. This will be the first of two meetings for the two teams as it also faces off with Nebraska on Senior Night on Thursday, Feb. 27.

Away from the house, but looks like we came out with some fire in our bellies. Like the box score with everyone getting involved. Still feel like by tournament time we need Gulbe/Holmes to be able to make larger contributions against teams with the quickness to stay with our guards. Would make us more balanced and prepared for different teams we will potentially face.

Points:  Penn 14; Patberg 10; Wise 10; Berger 9; Gulbe & Holmes 7 each.

Rebounds:  Berger 15; Gulbe 8; Holmes 7 each.

Assists:  Patberg 4; Berger 3.
