BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana’s women’s basketball schedule is ranked 16th-best in the country and all you have to do is look at the ranking number next to the Hoosiers’ opponents to understand why.

When Indiana takes on second-ranked South Carolina on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, it will be 11th ranked opponent on the Indiana slate.

What might make Indiana stand out is the sheer amount of games against highly-ranked teams. Of those 11 games, South Carolina will be the fourth of those opponents ranked in the top five.

Indiana has lost all three of the previous games, but with honor. Indiana fell to No. 1 UCLA by 11, lost by seven and by five to USC, ranked third and second when the Hoosiers played them.

One big difference in this matchup is that it will be the first time Indiana has played a top five team on its home court. One of the games against USC and the game against UCLA was played at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The second game against USC was played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis in the Big Ten Tournament. Indiana is 5-5 in true road games in 2025.
