Going into the 2024-25 season, Indiana women’s basketball hadn’t had a losing streak of any kind since the 2021-22 season, but that ended when the Hoosiers lost consecutive games against Harvard and Butler in the early stages of the season.

Despite leading by 10 points in the third quarter, IU women's basketball had careless mistakes, a familiar trend, leading to a 54-47 loss to Oregon.

The Hoosiers led by 10 in the third quarter but were outscored 32-15 the rest of the game, losing their first trip to Oregon as Big Ten opponents.
