Indiana has been nationally ranked in the last three meetings with Butler. In 2024, the Hoosiers made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive year, winning two postseason games before being defeated by South Carolina in the Sweet Sixteen. IU entered the tournament as a No. 4 seed with an at-large bid and a 26-6 overall record. Butler holds a 1-9 all-time record against Indiana in a series that began in 1989, with their lone victory coming on Dec. 9, 2012.
Under Austin Parkinson’s leadership, the Bulldogs achieved 15 wins in the team’s second season. The team set a new program record by making 266 3-pointers during the 2023-24 season. Butler led the BIG EAST and ranked fifth in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (38.3%).
Caroline Strande will return for her final season with the Bulldogs in 2024-25. She made history by becoming the first player in program history to lead the team in points, rebounds, and assists per game last season. Strande was named a Second Team All-BIG EAST selection, and Riley Makalusky earned a spot on the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team. Butler earned a spot in the WNIT field last year as an at-large selection, marking their return to the postseason for the first time since 2018-19.
