The Indiana Women’s Basketball season officially tips off Tuesday, November 4th vs Lipscomb. New for this season at Hoosier Huddle is the Countdown to Tip-off which will feature each member of the IU men’s and women’s basketball squad as we await the season. Today we feature another newcomer to the IUWBB program— Nevaeh Caffey.
Name: Nevaeh Caffey
Height: 5’10”
Hometown/High School: Warrenton, Missouri/Incarnate Word Academy
Class: Freshman
Position: Guard
Hailing from Missouri, Nevaeh Caffey was a star guard at Incarnate Word Academy and helped her team to four straight state championships and a national consecutive win record of 139 games. The Miss Show-Me Basketball 2025 averaged 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 steal per game her senior year, according to IUHoosiers.com.
Caffey is a skilled defender, shooter and hard worker, so it is no surprise she has stood out to head Coach Teri Moren since arriving to Bloomington this summer.
In the Hoosiers’ 100-32 exhibition win over Missouri S&T, Caffey stood out on defense and recorded 9 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals in 23 minutes.
It’s no secret defensive hustle earns minutes for a Moren-coached squad, so even as a freshman she’ll be seeing the floor more than freshman have in recent years. There’s no doubt Caffey will help set the tone and expectation for this year’s team on defense.
Tip-off for the home opener game vs. Lipscomb is set for Tuesday November 4th at 7pm.
