The No. 16 (USA TODAY) Hoosiers (21-4, 12-3) are coming off an unexpected blowout loss at Illinois. IU career leading scorer Mackenzie Holmes had 24 points but was clearly upset afterward: “I only have a few games left in the regular season, so we just gotta figure it out. We got to figure out how to come from behind. I gotta be better at protecting the rim. It’s just, I’m not a good loser. That’s all there is to it.”
IU women's basketball leaders: Holmes (20.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocked shots); Sara Scalia (16.0 points, 43.8% 3-pointers); Yarmen Garzon (11.6 points, 45.3% 3s, 4.2 rebounds); Chloe Moore-McNeil (10.4 points, 42.5% 3s, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals); Sydney Parrish (10.2 points, 39.3% 3s, 5.6 rebounds). Parrish played 6 minutes against Illinois after missing several games with a leg injury.
