With just over half the season behind them, Big Ten women’s basketball teams are beginning the bulk of conference play. The Hoosiers and Terps are cementing themselves at the top while the contenders below them continue to shift. Hopefully our fourth edition of power rankings will explain some of the movement in the background:

1. No. 6 Indiana Hoosiers

Previous Ranking: 1

Record: 12-2 (4-0 B1G)

Next Game: vs. Nebraska

Indiana is the most dominant team in the Big Ten. Point blank. If it wasn’t evident by their 20-point win at Ohio State in mid-December, the Hoosiers recently held Maryland, the country’s fifth highest scoring team, to just 63 points.
