This win further solidifies the Hoosiers' impressive season record, while the Scarlet Knights face another setback. The game was marked by exceptional performances and strategic gameplay from both teams.

Hoosiers' Stellar Performance

The Indiana Hoosiers showcased their dominance early on, setting the pace with a robust offense and steadfast defense. Their scoring was particularly notable in the third quarter, where they amassed 36 points, demonstrating their ability to capitalize on opportunities and extend their lead significantly.

Shay Ciezki emerged as one of the standout players for the Hoosiers, contributing 16 points along with seven assists and four rebounds. Her shooting accuracy was remarkable, hitting 62 percent from the field and an impressive 67 percent from beyond the arc. Sydney Parrish also made significant contributions with her game-high 22 points on an astounding 73 percent shooting from the field and perfect free throw performance.

The Scarlet Knights were led by efforts that saw them fighting for every point inside paint where they scored half of their total points (30). However, turnovers proved costly for them as they gave away possession thirteen times which translated into ten points off turnovers for Indiana.
