LAST MEETING
3/7/25, L, 79-84 (Indianapolis)
NOTES
- Senior guard Shay Ciezki earned her third Big Ten Player of the Week honor on Monday (Feb. 9) as she was named the co-player of the week with UCLA's Kiki Rice. In a pair of wins last week she averaged 30.0 points, 10.5 rebounds shooting 57.9 percent from the floor, 46.2 percent from the 3-point line and 83.3 percent at the free throw line. Ciezki scored team-highs with 31 points and a career-high five steals at Wisconsin and nearly had a triple double against Purdue with 29 points, a career-high 12 rebounds and eight assists.
- Indiana picked up its third win-in-a-row with a 74-59 victory over Purdue on Sunday behind Ciezki's near triple double with 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Junior forward Edessa Noyan recorded her first double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
- Ciezki continues to be one of the nation's best scorers. She is the Big Ten's leading scorer (and fourth nationally) with 24.0 points per game also ranks second in the nation in scoring (602 points). Ciezki is now ninth in a single season in points scored and is nine points away from becoming IU's 34th member of the 1,000-point club. For her career, Ciezki has scored 1,748 points. She is part of the elusive 50/40/90 club, as she shoots 54.4 percent from the floor, 46.6 percent from the 3-point line and 90.7 percent at the free throw line.
UP NEXT
Indiana stays in LA to face No. 2/2 UCLA on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on Peacock.
We will have a game story after the game.
I was at the game, Shay didn't play? They had a really short bench. Might have been able to win if Shay had played. Will be at UCLA too but it will be a massacre.
@iualum According to Moren, Shay rolled her ankle at Shoot Around in the morning/Afternoon and just couldn't go. That's a tough loss. UCLA is a great team and ranked No. 2 for a reason. Enjoy seeing these games in person.
@thehoosierhuddle yeah, I am looking forward to seeing Lauren Betts play in person. Galen Center at USC was a really nice venue too, lots of great women's basketball history from the Cheryl Miller years. JuJu was there on the bench, sad I didn't get to see her play, but glad she us take care of herself. IU played hard but just can't deal with a press at all.

The press has been an issue for two years, and at least a part of the reason Moren wanted us to get more athletic after last year. It made sense at the beginning of the year, this team is new together. But the fact we still have this problem is disconcerting.
Related to the problem, we often pick up our dribble with nothing to do with the ball. It happens in the press and half court.
IU has never handled the press well under Moren. Maybe she should watch a YouTube video on how to break it. This isn’t hard.
