No. 2 Indiana women’s basketball announced the sellout of general admission tickets ahead of its Feb. 19 matchup against Purdue, according to an IU Athletics press release. Fresh off a record crowd of 13,046 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, next Sunday’s matchup will mark the first time Indiana women’s basketball has ever sold out Assembly Hall.
Indiana surpassed its previous all-time attendance record of 13,007 on Thursday night against No. 5 Iowa, which it achieved in the 2018 WNIT Championship. It also marked the third time this season Indiana achieved a regular season attendance record.
Indiana’s record crowd looks to return the favor to Purdue. The Boilermakers sold out Mackey Arena in the rivals’ Feb. 5 matchup, where the crowd of 14,876 watched the Hoosiers handle Purdue 69-46.
The Hoosiers and Boilermakers will tip off at noon in front of the record crowd. The game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
