The IU women are projected to be in the NCAA Tournament, but they're near the bottom of the field. Here's how the projections and bracketology stack up.

The IU women ended a three-game skid with a win at Washington, putting the Hoosiers 'back on track' and adding to their March Madness resume.

Two of Indiana women’s basketball’s last three defeats have occurred because of late fourth quarter collapses. On Jan. 19 against No. 4 USC, Indiana held a 4-point lead in the final quarter, but its inefficient offense and defense allowed the Trojans to put together a 12-0 run. The Cream and Crimson lost by 7.

Indiana women’s basketball finds itself 5-4 at the midway point of the Big Ten season after a close 73-70 victory at Washington late Monday.

Indiana (12-7, 4-4 Big Ten) only had one field goal in the final 5:09 of the game and those turnovers all came before the Hoosiers could set up their half court offense. They gifted Oregon the ball at the top of the key and that led to a series of easy fast break layups.
