Indiana women’s basketball has a new all-time leading scorer.
Mackenzie Holmes, with 2,365 points to her name across a five-year career in the candystripes, passed fellow program legend Tyra Buss with a bucket in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 95-62 dismantling of Purdue.
Yarden Garzon fed Holmes in the post, and Purdue was ready. The Boilermakers had been swarming the paint the entire game to limit her scoring ability. Jeanae Terry doubled up with Caitlyn Harper while Madison Layden left the corner in help defense.
But she was just too fast. Too strong. Too good.
A spin move was all it took.
