Preview: Indiana Hoosiers at Rutgers Scarlet Knights PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Interstat) — The Indiana Hoosiers look to build on a crucial conference win when they visit the struggling Rutgers Scarlet Knights in a Big Ten women’s basketball matchup Wednesday night at Louis Brown Center. Indiana (15-12) enters off a 72-65 home victory over Oregon on Sunday, snapping a two-game skid. The Hoosiers have been inconsistent in conference play but have shown a higher ceiling than their hosts. The Hoosiers are led by standout guard Shay Ciezki, who is coming off a 20-point, six-rebound, six-assist performance against the Ducks. Ciezki has been a dominant force for Indiana, posting three 30-point games in her last six outings, including a 29-point, 12-rebound, eight-assist effort in a win over Purdue on Feb. 8. Her playmaking will be central to Indiana’s attack. Forward Edessa Noyan, who added 18 points and eight rebounds against Oregon, provides a key interior presence alongside Ciezki. Rutgers (9-17) seeks to halt a five-game losing streak, most recently an 87-78 home loss to Penn State on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights have found wins scarce in a difficult Big Ten schedule, having lost 10 of their last 11 games. Forward Imani Lester has been a bright spot during the slump. She scored 17 points with seven rebounds in the loss to Penn State and is averaging 12.3 points over her last four games. She will need support from teammates like Zachara Perkins, who recorded a double-double Saturday. The matchup pits Indiana’s potent, if sometimes erratic, offense against a Rutgers team that has struggled to contain opponents, allowing 70 or more points in eight of their last nine losses. Indiana won the teams’ first meeting this season, 81-65, in Bloomington on Jan. 4. A victory would bolster Indiana’s positioning ahead of the postseason, while Rutgers aims to salvage a positive result in its final home stand. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Wednesday.
