BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women’s basketball is in unchartered waters as far as the Teri Moren coaching era is concerned.

The Hoosiers have never had a 1-2 start under Moren, who is in her 11th year in charge of Indiana’s program. It is Indiana’s first 1-2 start since the 2008-09 season when Felisha Legette-Jack coached the Hoosiers.

Indiana has been hampered by injuries – the backcourt depth is low with Lexus Bargesser and Lenee Beaumont out. The Hoosiers are also not getting many shots (53 per game, ranked 317th in Division I) and not making the ones they get (40.3%, ranked 206th).

Indiana has been poor from 3-point range. The Hoosiers have only converted 25.5% from long range, a drop of 14 percentage points from last season. Indiana has also turned the ball over at a rate of 20.3 per game.

It will be a hard task to get things right against Stanford. The Cardinal frontcourt is formidable with 6-foot-2 forward Nunu Agara (19.3 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and 6-1 forward Courtney Ogden (8.5 ppg). Indiana had trouble with Butler’s post players in a 56-46 loss in Indianapolis on Wednesday.

However, it’s Stanford’s shooting that’s really scary. The Cardinal are the top-shooting 3-point team in the nation entering Saturday’s games at 51%. Starters Jzaniya Harriel (63.2%), Elena Bosgana (50%) and Brooke Demetre (50%) are converting at an incredible rate. Tess Heal (66.7%) and Chloe Clardy (58.3%) have been sharpshooters off the bench. Ogden (44.4%) and Agara (33.3%) can shoot it too.

A historic nugget that might hearten the Hoosiers? That 2008-09 Indiana team won nine in a row after its 1-2 start and would finish 21-11. There’s still plenty of time for Indiana to right its ship.
