Indiana Women's Basketball Big Ten Home, Away Opponents Announced for 2023-24 Season

The 2023-24 Indiana women's basketball schedule is starting to come together, with the Big Ten announcing home and away conference opponents on Thursday.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Big Ten announced home and away opponents for the 2023-24 women's basketball season on Thursday.

Teams will play an 18-game conference slate, with eight single-play opponents and five double-play opponents. Each team will play five opponents twice, four opponents only at home and four opponents only on the road. Game times, dates, and TV information will be announced at a later date.

Here are Indiana's 2023-24 Big Ten conference opponents:

Home: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State

Away: Nebraska, Ohio State, Rutgers, Wisconsin

Home and Away: Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Northwestern, Purdue

Indiana is coming off a 28-4 season in 2022-23, which included a 16-2 conference record and its first Big Ten regular season title since 1982-83. The record-setting season ended in disappointing fashion, though, as No. 9 seed Miami knocked off No. 1 seed Indiana on its home court in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32.

First-team All-Big Ten guard Grace Berger is off to the WNBA after playing an integral role in the rise of the Indiana women's basketball program, but coach Teri Moren and the Hoosiers still hold high expectations for the 2023-24 season. 

Forward Mackenzie Holmes, a first-team All-American, returns for her fifth season at Indiana after averaging 22.3 points and 7.3 rebounds on 68 percent shooting last year. Veterans like Sara Scalia, Sydney Parrish and Chloe Moore-McNeil are back, too, along with reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Yarden Garzon and sophomores Lexus Bargesser, Lilly Meister and Henna Sandvik. 

Indiana made one addition through the transfer portal this offseason, bringing in forward Sharnecce Currie-Jelks, who was the the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year at UT-Martin last year. Moren recruited a two-player freshman class, including 6-foot-1 guards Leneé Beaumont and Jules LaMendola. Beaumont was the 2023 Illinois Ms. Basketball, and LaMendola was the 2023 Texas Gatorade Player of the Year.
