BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Lexus Bargesser isn't afraid of Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes. The sophomore guard knocked down a buzzer-beating jump shot as time expired at the end of the first quarter, giving Indiana a 23-22 lead after 10 minutes.

Bargesser collected a rebound off a Chloe Moore-McNeil miss as time was dwindling down. The guard put the shot up and the ball hit every part of the rim before falling home.

That bucket gave the Hoosiers a one-point advantage at the first quarter break. Bargesser ended the quarter with four points.

That's how you end a quarter!
