Here's where Indiana women's basketball stands in the Big Ten preseason rankings
Indiana women's basketball is projected to be in the top three of the Big Ten Conference, according to the coaches and media preseason poll released Wednesday. The conference media ranked Indiana as the preseason No. 2 team in the Big Ten, just behind reigning national runner-up Iowa. The Big Ten coaches put Indiana as the No. 3 preseason team, behind Iowa and Ohio State.
Only one Hoosier made it on the All-Big Ten preseason list: fifth-year senior Mackenzie Holmes. The 2022-23 first-team All-American was a unanimous first-team selection by the coaches, but not by the media. The media's sole unanimous first-team all-Big Ten selection was Iowa's Caitlin Clark.
Clark, the two-time reigning Big Ten Player of the Year, was projected by both coaches and media to take home the honor for the third straight season.
