Indiana women’s basketball has officially missed the NCAA Tournament.
The Hoosiers came up short of making the bracket for the first time since 2020, when the tournament was canceled because of COVID-19. Excluding that anomaly of a postseason, this is the first time IU has missed the NCAA Tournament since 2018.
Indiana opted out of any potential WNIT or WBIT bids, marking the end of its 2025-26 season. Aside from 2020, this is the first time since Teri Moren’s first season in Bloomington — 2014-15 — that the Hoosiers will not participate in any postseason tournament. IU finishes the year 18-14, snapping a streak of 10 straight years with at least 20 wins.
“As a program, we have decided to opt out of postseason play due to lack of healthy players. Our focus now turns to getting healthy and planning for a productive offseason,” Moren said in a statement to The Daily Hoosier. “We would like to thank Hoosier Nation for their continued support throughout the 2025-26 season. We are excited about the future of Indiana Women’s Basketball! Go IU!”
