9-seed Indiana women’s basketball is moving on in NCAA Tournament play with a 76-68 win over Utah in the first round on Friday at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina.
It marks a milestone for the program in that it moves the Hoosiers to 20 wins on the year. That’s ten straight seasons of 20+ wins for Teri Moren and co, a remarkable achievement given Indiana’s history prior to her arrival.
Indiana will move on to face the winner of 1-seed South Carolina and 16-seed Tennessee Tech. In the highly likely scenario that the former advances it would mark the second straight postseason in which the Hoosiers take on the Gamecocks after last year’s hard-fought loss in the Sweet Sixteen.
