BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Enjoy 25 Indiana women's basketball photos that reflect a 10-0 season, tying for Indiana head coach Teri Moren's best start in her nine-year tenure.

Indiana not only has beaten every team by a sizable sum give or take a couple games, but the team has found its way to a No. 4 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll behind Big Ten opponent Ohio State.

This ranking ties for the program's best one since it was first achieved in the 2021-22 season.

The perfect record and top-four ranking doesn't mean Indiana hasn't played through adversity though. Late November, senior guard Grace Berger went down with a right knee injury early in the Auburn game as part of the Las Vegas Invitational.

The Hoosiers have had to learn how to play without their star point guard, who's out indefinitely, tapping on Oregon transfer guard Sydney Parrish to come in off the bench and junior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil to slide over to the one position.

Minus Berger, five Hoosiers are still averaging double-scoring figures led by senior forward Mackenzie Holmes' 20.6 points per game. Holmes knows all too well what being hindered by injury looks like as she missed eight games last season with a left knee injury that required surgery.

Indiana is a gritty team and is still racking up the wins while Berger leads from the sidelines. Take a look.
