Indiana (42-13, 17-7 Big Ten 4th)
The Indiana Hoosiers search for two things this weekend – their first big Ten Tournament title and their first 2026 victory against a currently ranked team. Whereas the Huskers chose the road of the toughest non-conference schedule in D1, the Hoosiers went in the opposite direction playing only two ranked teams out of conference and drawing UCLA in Big 10 play.
They went 0-5 in those games.
However, the ease of schedule has given them confidence as witnessed in their 9-2 dismantling of once-ranked Washington. However, Washington has now lost 9 of their last 11 games and may not be in the best headspace. Will their aggressive style affect the Huskers in the same way? The Hoosiers have stolen 128 bases and this season have a power dimension with 81 HR’s to go with their .353 team average. However, as stated, these stats come padded with weak non-con opponents and a bottom-heavy Big Ten schedule.
Friday should show if Indiana is ready for the big time.

G2 Starter: ALEXIS JENSEN
Coach Rhonda Revelle likely doesn’t mess with the lineup too much. Will Jensen hit today? It might be tough to put her back in for Cope who destroyed the ball in the Husker tourney opener.
Last year, Frahm started every postseason game. This year, Jensen gives them another option, although she had some shaky appearances at season’s end. I expect her to start today, but Revelle will have Frahm ready on a short hook.
BONUS CONTENT! Does everyone remember Indiana Coach Shonda Stanton? Well, why don’t we go back to last season when, after she had run out of challenges due to a couple of ill-advised ones, she found herself disagreeing with yet another call and…well…just see for yourself.
Naturally, the Big 10 found no reason for disciplinary action of any kind.
