The Hoosiers shot 50% from the floor and 47% from three, led in scoring by senior forward Brenna Wise and junior guard Ali Patberg with 16 points each.
Sophomores Grace Berger and Aleksa Gulbe each contributed 10 points to the cause as IU picked up its first win over a ranked opponent this season

This was the first win against an AP Top 5 since defeating then-No. 4 Ohio State 67-62 in January 2010.
IU remains undefeated at a perfect 5-0 to start the season, with another upset opportunity on the horizon as it will face off with No. 2 Baylor University for day two of the Paradise Jam on Friday.
