Can’t wait to start working for @TheHoosierNet ‼️

#iuwbb Hoosiers continue to reel in highly rated recruits.

Final:

Indiana: 84 | Bradley: 56

A slow start in the first quarter that was overshadowed by the explosion of offense in the remaining quarters.

Indiana's bench is highlighting the 4th quarter.

Alisa Williams has 15, a career high for the Iowa State transfer.
