BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women’s basketball will participate in the 2023 Elevance Health Women’s Fort Myers Tip-Off on November 23-25 at Suncoast Credit Union Arena.

Tennessee leads the all-time series 2-1, as the two programs met last year in a 79-67 Indiana win in Knoxville on Nov. 14, 2022. The all-time series with Princeton is tied at 1-1, most recently meeting in the round of 32 in 2022 inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall where the Hoosiers pulled out the 56-55 victory.
