BLOOMINGTON — The Indiana women’s basketball cruised to a 95-61 win over Bellarmine on Sunday afternoon in what was easily its best offensive performance of the season. The Hoosiers (8-3; 1-0 Big Ten) went into halftime up by 24 points after ...

Indiana never trailed en route to its most lopsided victory of the season, beating out a 25-point win over Maine at the start of the month. It was the first time IU scored more than 80 points since the season-opener on Nov. 4 against Brown.

At the break, the Hoosiers led 54-30 over Bellarmine University on Sunday inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Senior forward Karoline Striplin led Indiana with 15 first-half points while the Cream and Crimson went 67.7% from the field alongside 50% from beyond the arc.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – When the Indiana women’s basketball nonconference schedule was announced, the conventional wisdom was that the visit from Stanford on Nov. 17 and the Hoosiers’ trip to Battle 4 Atlantis were highlights surrounded by a lot of filler.

• Recent results: Indiana has won four games in a row. The latest was an 82-67 victory over Minnesota Monday that gave the Hoosiers their first Big Ten victory. Wins over Providence (at Battle 4 Atlantis), Sam Houston and Miami of Ohio have also been part of the streak.
