Finishing fourth in the Big Ten is certainly a milestone for Indiana. They’ve finished fourth for the second time in a row after being at the bottom for the past few years. Guard Tyra Buss was selected to the Coaches All-Big Ten team unanimously this season. Buss and teammate Amanda Cahill were named to the 2017-18 Preseason All-Big Ten Conference women’s basketball team. Cahill is Indiana’s rebounding leader, averaging 8.9 as a junior finished second in scoring with 14.8 PPG. As for Buss, averaging 18.2 PPG, 4.6 APG, and shooting 41.4 percent from the floor last season will most likely end up with her having another huge season en route to the WNBA, so look for her to set the pace for the Hoosiers.
