Having won six of its last seven games, including an 86-69 thumping of the Iowa Hawkeyes, this felt like the year Teri Moren’s squad could make a run in the Big Ten Tournament. With Ohio State going down to Maryland earlier today, the trail to the Title looked better than ever.
The last time Indiana played Michigan, it made every shot it took in the first quarter to get out to a 36-17 first quarter lead. The two teams combined for 21 points in the first quarter today, with Indiana barely getting out to a three point lead behind Sara Scalia’s 8 points.
