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. It was a close call as the Huskies rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter,

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 (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.
