Indiana senior guard Ali Patberg posted on her Instagram account Wednesday evening that she will return for another season, taking advantage of the NCAA rule not counting this season against athletes’ eligibility because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Patberg posted a graphic of herself wearing an IU uniform and an IU towel hanging over her shoulder. Written over her were the words “Not Done Yet” in black with her signature in the middle.

Patberg finished third on Indiana’s roster with 14.0 points per game this season and averaged 3.9 rebounds. She was second on the team with 99 assists. She was one of four Indiana players to start all 27 games, leading the Hoosiers to a 21-6 season and the first run to the Elite Eight in program history. The Columbus, Ind., native and former Indiana Miss Basketball and McDonald’s All-American was named second-team All-Big Ten this season. In three seasons at Indiana, she has averaged 15.2 points per game and scored 1,309 points. Patberg originally enrolled at Notre Dame in 2015 and transferred to Indiana after two years. This will be her fifth season at IU and her seventh year in college.
