NOTES

• The Hoosiers are making their eighth NCAA Tournament and third-consecutive appearance. IU holds a 6-7 record all-time and are most recently coming off an Elite Eight appearance in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
• This will be the first time the women's tournament will hold first and second round games inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The winner of Indiana vs. Charlotte will face off against the winner of 6-seed Kentucky and 11-seed Princeton.
• Indiana advanced to the Big Ten Tournament championship game for the first time in 20 years last week as the No. 5 seed. Along the way, it defeated Rutgers, Maryland and top-seed Ohio State. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary and senior guard Grace Berger each earned a spot on the all-tournament team.
• Berger earned a pair of All-American honors this week from the Associated Press and USBWA. She earned spots on the honorable mention teams and has now earned four All-American honors in her IU career.
• The two programs have met just once in the all-time series. Indiana won the lone meeting at the Junkaroo Jam in Bimini, Bahamas on Nov. 27, 2009, 72-61.

Awesome! The early game is on an over-run

Nice crowd in the Hall, like really nice

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

I hate this camera placement.  The nonsense on the top and earlier on the side was covering the basket! It seems so far away as well.

Yeah it feels like the 1st couple years after the hard camera was taken off the floor. Probably to give a few extra rows for media.

Holmes with a putback at the buzzer, IU up 22-12 after 1.

Seriously, I do need new glasses, but this is ridiculous.

Charlotte calls a timeout

Grace doing mid-range Grace things. Love her game so much. 

[Hoosierfan1901]

On a 22-2 run!

Anyone see that Stanford one handed player dunk? It was awesome

The way our women's team plays is so reminiscent of how the men's teams played in the early years of Knight's tenure.  So much fun to watch.
