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.

The Hoosiers improved to 3-4 against Quad 1 opponents by shutting down a late rally from Washington (13-8; 4-5). The Huskies trailed by 14 points before going on an 11-0 run in the fourth quarter while holding IU without any field goals for more than four minutes.
