To-do list will be long for new women’s basketball coach
The right decision isn’t always the easiest. It almost never is. Thankfully, Athletics Director Fred Glass was able to make the right decision in the case of the women’s basketball program.

Behind 15 points at halftime to Michigan State (20-10, 11-5), the IU women’s basketball team (6-24, 1-15) faced an uphill battle heading into the second half Thursday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.
The IU women’s basketball team enters the Big Ten Tournament, which will take place at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with a chance for its second conference win in three games after losing 14 straight to start the conference schedule. The No. 12 Hoosiers will face off against the No. 5 Michigan State Spartans tonight 25 minutes after the end of the 6 p.m. Minnesota vs. Wisconsin game. Here’s a look at the Hoosiers and their history in the Big Ten Tournament.
Is the third time the charm for IU women’s basketball?
It’s a pity when good things go bad. Usually, there is a cause for the turn, but what happens when good just goes bad for no reason? Apparently, for the women’s basketball program, nothing.
The winning streak was short-lived. After taking Wisconsin down to the wire and pulling off a 62-60 victory Thursday — the team’s first win in 15 Big Ten games this season — the IU women’s basketball team (6-23, 1-15) fell 90-58 to Purdue (21-8, 11-5) on Sunday at Mackey Arena during its final regular season game.
Senior forward Danilsa Andujar muscled her way through traffic to grab the rebound and draw a foul with only 3.2 seconds left. Andujar sank both shots, giving her and the rest of the IU women’s basketball team its first Big Ten victory of the year, 62-60.
After their first win in almost two months on Thursday night, the Hoosiers hope to extend their win streak against Purdue.
With senior night in effect, the IU women’s basketball players hope to provide the seniors something they haven’t experienced during their final season in Bloomington: a Big Ten victory.
After falling to Michigan (19-8, 8-6) 61-48 Sunday in Assembly Hall, IU (5-22, 0-14) extended its losing streak to 14 games and broke its home winning streak against Michigan. The Hoosiers had previously beaten the Wolverines six straight times in Bloomington, dating back to Michigan’s last win Feb. 23, 2003.
The number 13 has never been particularly lucky, and neither has the IU women’s basketball team in Big Ten play this season. After falling to No. 9 Ohio State (22-3, 10-3 Big Ten) in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night 75-54, IU’s (5-21, 0-13) losing streak hit unlucky number 13 with only three games remaining in the season.
The IU women’s basketball team will look to avenge its loss from earlier in the year when it battles the Michigan Wolverines at noon Sunday in Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers (5-20, 0-12) fell to Michigan (18-7, 7-5) on Jan. 22 in the first matchup of the year between the two schools, 66-48.
Even as the Hoosiers travel Thursday night to Columbus, Ohio, to take on the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes, who are currently second in the Big Ten standings, IU women’s basketball Coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s players sound as positive and as confident as ever.
The Indiana women’s basketball team fell 61-60 to Illinois (10-16, 4-9) on a last-second lay-in by the Fighting Illini’s Lydia McCully Sunday. But on “THINK PINK” day at Assembly Hall, IU Coach Felisha Legette-Jack said she had the bigger picture in mind.
When the Hoosiers go for their first win in the conference this season Sunday, they’ll have a chance to play the only team they’ve beaten in their past 25 Big Ten games: Illinois.
After staying toe-to-toe with the Iowa Hawkeyes (14-10, 6-5), the Indiana women’s basketball team (5-19, 0-11) again fell short in its conference matchup, losing 83-64 Sunday afternoon in Assembly Hall.
The Hoosiers (5-18, 0-10 Big Ten) lost at Penn State (17-5, 7-3) Thursday at the Bryce Jordan Center 76-44 to bring their losing skid to 10 games, which serves as the longest of IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s tenure in Bloomington.
First and foremost, IU (5-18, 0-10 Big Ten) will try to end its 10-game losing streak. The other streak IU will try to break is its five-game losing skid to Iowa (12-10, 4-5) since Jan. 4 2009, the last time the Hoosiers beat the Hawkeyes.
