    ABOUT THE BRUINS

    The top ranked Bruins are one of only seven undefeated teams remaining after sweeping Nebraska and Michigan at home over the weekend. They are highlighted by junior center Lauren Betts’ 19.3 points per game and 9.8 boards per outing. Junior guard Kiki Rice chips in 11.3 points per game while junior guard Gabriela Jacquez puts up 10.7 points per game. UCLA is beating opponents by a 31.4 point margin and shooting a Big Ten best 50 percent from the floor.

    SERIES HISTORY

    UCLA leads 2-1

    LAST MEETING

    12/22/19 – L, 58-68 (Bloomington, Ind.)

    INDIANA NOTES

    • The Hoosiers extended their season win streak to six with an 83-52 triumph over Wisconsin on Dec. 28. Junior forward Lilly Meister tied a career-high 20 points while three others scored in double figures. Indiana shot 53.3 percent from the floor and dished out 25 assists on 30 made shots.
    • Indiana and UCLA have met three times prior to the Bruins joining the Big Ten this season. UCLA has the advantage in the series, 2-1, as the two teams traded wins most recently with the opponent winning on the road in 2018 and 2019.
    • For the first time in over 30 years, Indiana will host the No. 1 team in the nation on Saturday in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The last No. 1 team to play in Bloomington was in 1993-94 when Indiana faced then No. 1 Penn State and lost 70-65. IU is 0-5 all-time in meetings against No. 1 teams, most recently facing a top-ranked team in South Carolina in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in 2024.
    • Junior guard Yarden Garzon paces the Hoosiers through the first 13 games, averaging 14.1 points per outing and a team-high 36 3-pointers. She’s one of four players averaging double figures which also includes junior guard Shay Ciezki (11.9 ppg.), junior forward Lilly Meister (11.8 ppg.) and graduate student guard Sydney Parrish (10.0 ppg.).
    • The Hoosiers are on the brink of setting some historical marks as they need one more victory to reach their 900th program victory. Individually, Garzon (911) and graduate student guard Chloe Moore-McNeil (943) are also nearing the 1,000-point club at IU, joining 31 former players who have also reached the career milestone.
