Indiana women’s basketball’s conference schedule was announced Thursday afternoon on the Big Ten Network’s schedule release show. The Hoosiers finished 26-6 a season ago, including 15-3 in conference play. Each Big Ten loss came on the road, with Indiana falling to Iowa, Ohio State and Illinois.

In Indiana's case, of course, that means Purdue. That also means one-off games against powers like Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oregon, USC and UCLA. Of those teams, Indiana does get the major advantage of playing USC and UCLA at home.

Highlights of the 18-game schedule include games at Assembly Hall against new league members UCLA (Jan. 4) and USC (Jan. 18), a trip out west to play Oregon (Jan. 24) and Washington (Jan. 27), Senior Day on Feb. 27 against Maryland and a rivalry game against Purdue to close out the year on March 2.

The Big Ten Conference announced its full 2024-25 women’s basketball schedule this afternoon. Each of the league’s 18 members will play an 18-game league schedule, facing 16 schools once (eight home/eight away) and one school twice (home and away).
