Northwestern Women's Basketball Faces Tough Road Test Against Indiana in Big Ten Showdown
February brings a challenging Big Ten schedule for the Northwestern women's basketball team as they face the Indiana Hoosiers on the road. With an 8-13 overall record and 2-8 in conference play, the Wildcats are seeking consistency in a tough conference race. The upcoming game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington marks the end of a demanding stretch for Northwestern, aiming to stabilize their season and climb the standings.
Indiana, at 11-11 overall and winless in Big Ten play at 0-10, is eager to secure their first conference victory against Northwestern. The Hoosiers hold a historical advantage over the Wildcats, winning seven straight games and the last two matchups at home.
