Big Ten Women's Tournament continues

• USC has made the biggest impact of any of the new additions, claiming the 2024-25 Big Ten Women's Basketball Title outright when they beat UCLA last weekend.

The latest: IU, the only Indiana school to make the cut, beat Oregon 78-62 on Thursday.

State of play: Tournament play continues at Gainbridge with four games Friday, two games Saturday and the championship game at 4:30pm Sunday.

• The No. 9 Hoosiers face No. 1 USC at noon Friday.
