Indiana State's men's basketball team is recognized as the second-best in the state according to metrics, and their performance in a heckuva game against Michigan State supports this ranking. Indiana University's women's basketball team, currently ranked 16th, extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 77-71 victory over Illinois. Mackenzie Holmes contributed significantly with 30 points and 7 rebounds, Chloe Moore-McNeil added 19 points, and Yarden Garzon scored 12 points, including a crucial three-pointer. The game also marked the return of Grace Berger, who received her Big Ten championship ring and signed the wall at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in front of a crowd of 11,600. Indiana's win was part of a notable day for basketball in the state, which included a historic victory for the men's team over the nation's top two teams in a span of three weeks back in 2011, and fans shared funny stories in Speedway, IN. The players are also praised as a great group of young men and student athletes.

When IU got back from the holiday break, Teri Moren sat Chloe Moore-McNeil down and told her she needed to be more aggressive. In the Hoosiers’ first game since that conversation, Moore-McNeil had 19 crucial points to take down Illinois. #iuwbb https://t.co/la4nxycoJt
