“We are excited about the challenge of our nonconference schedule this year,” IU Coach Teri Moren said in a press release. “Without question, this schedule will prepare us for an arduous Big Ten season.”
The Hoosiers’ schedule will consist of at least five home games and at least six away games.
Beginning with the Tigers, who were a postseason tournament contender in 2014, the Hoosiers will play through the Preseason WNIT until Nov. 22, with the second round Nov. 15 and semifinals Nov. 19.
After the tournament, IU will travel to Fort Wayne to play IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne on Nov. 24.
Moren added two additional tournaments to the nonconference season, in addition to the Preseason WNIT.
Immediately after the game against the Mastodons, the Hoosiers will travel to Nashville, Tennessee to participate in the Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament Nov. 27 and 28.
The tournament will consist of opponents Vanderbilt (15-16 in 2014), Ohio (27-5 in 2014) and Austin Peay (10-20 in 2014).
Returning to Bloomington for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, IU will play Georgia Tech (19-15 in 2014) for the first time in program history Dec. 2.
Then the Hoosiers will travel to Moren’s former home, Indiana State in Terre Haute, to play the Sycamores on Dec. 8.
After a home 7 p.m. tip off against Samford, IU will travel to its final tournament of the nonconference season, the Florida Sunshine Classic, where it will play Miami and West Virginia.
Rounding out the nonconference schedule, IU will play Ivy League opponent Yale (13-15 in 2014) on Dec. 28.
The Hoosiers’ Big Ten schedule begins Dec. 31.
