Indiana’s women’s basketball team is no longer getting AP Top 25 votes. The Hoosiers have several Top 25 teams left in a stacked Big Ten.

The Trojans (16-1; 6-0) came into the game as one of three unbeaten teams in the Big Ten (UCLA and Ohio State) with an average margin of victory in conference play of 21.6 points. This was their first game in Bloomington and only the second-ever matchup between the programs.
