BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Mackenzie Holmes scored 27 points and No. 2 Indiana forced 21 turnovers to beat No. 12 Michigan 68-52 for its ninth victory over a ranked team this season.
Indiana (25-1, 15-1 Big Ten) went scoreless for the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, but an 11-0 run by Michigan only cut the deficit to 11 and the Hoosiers then comfortably closed out the game.
Emily Kiser led the Wolverines (20-6, 10-5) with 12 points, while Jordan Hobbs and Leigha Brown each added nine.
Chloe Moore-McNeil had 13 points for Indiana, including four 3-pointers.
Indiana's defense held Michigan to 40% shooting from the field, including 3 for 12 from 3-point range, and created 24 points off Wolverines turnovers.
Indiana used multiple double-digit runs to build a 14-point halftime lead, including a 12-0 spurt to start the second quarter. After the Wolverines shaved the deficit to three, Grace Berger scored six points to help the Hoosiers extend their advantage to 34-19.
The Hoosiers ended the half with four straight points on free throws as frustrations boiled over for the Wolverines. Maddie Nolan was called for a technical foul following a fast-break layup and blew kisses to a jeering Indiana crowd.
Another Michigan foul in the last second of the period let Indiana extend its lead further.
BIG PICTURE
Michigan: The Wolverines dropped into a tie with Ohio State for fourth place in the Big Ten, adding extra weight to their upcoming matchup.
Indiana: The Hoosiers can clinch a share of the Big Ten title with a win over Purdue on Sunday.
