BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – From here on out, Indiana’s women’s basketball team will see nothing but Big Ten competition. Starting with Wisconsin’s 2 p.m. ET Saturday visit to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, Indiana will face 17 tough conference games.

Where the Hoosiers rate in the Big Ten pecking order remains to be seen. It’s been an up-and-down first two months of the season. Wins over ranked opponents Stanford and Baylor were mixed with losses to Harvard and Butler.

In the women’s NET rankings, Indiana is 40th overall, which puts the Hoosiers in the NCAA Tournament at-large conversation.

However, Indiana is behind 11 other Big Ten teams in the NET. UCLA (3), Southern California (7), Ohio State (10), Michigan State (13), Maryland (22), Michigan (23), Iowa (30), Minnesota (33), Nebraska (35), Oregon (37) and Illinois (38) are all ahead of the Hoosiers.

There’s no room for error in the Big Ten player schedule, either. While the men have had a 20-game conference schedule since 2019, the women have kept an 18-game schedule. With 18 teams in the Big Ten, it means you only play one team twice. In Indiana’s case, they play rival Purdue twice. If you lose to a team near you in the standings, it’s unlikely you’re going to get a second shot at them.

Given that, protecting home court is essential and it also makes Indiana’s 75-60 win at Penn State on Dec. 7 all the more valuable. The good news for the Hoosiers is that they play six of those 11 teams ahead of them in the NET in Bloomington.

Still, there’s very few off-nights in the Big Ten. Wisconsin isn’t one of the teams rated ahead of Indiana, but the Badgers (10-2, 1-0) appear to be improved and they have one of the best players in the Big Ten in 6-foot-4 forward Serah Williams (20 ppg, 12.3 rpg) – a player that Indiana doesn’t have an exact match for defensively.

It will be a gauntlet for the Hoosiers in Big Ten play. Let the games begin.
