At Hoosier Hysteria on Oct. 7, Teri Moren stood in a throwback convertible on the floor of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, winding her arm like she had a lasso in her hand, ready to catch her prey. On Sunday, February 19 she did the same motion. But this time, she was standing on top of a ladder, holding a piece of the basketball net.
Because just over four months later, Moren caught what she was looking for, what all of Indiana women’s basketball had been looking for since the 1982-83 season. In beating Purdue Sunday afternoon, the Hoosiers clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title for the second time in program history, and the first time since 1983.
