The Jaguar's head coach Kate Bruce is in her fourth season at IU Indy. She holds an overall record of 33-57 at IU Indy and a 26-34 record in Horizon League play. Bruce came to IU Indy from Walsh University where she was the program's all-time winningest head coach. She guided the Cavaliers to four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. Bruce held a 134-43 record at Walsh University including a Sweet 16 appearance during the 2021-22 season.
 
Coach Bruce returns five from last year's IU Indy roster with Neveah Foster (9.8 points/game) leading the returning group. Destini Craig, Camron Blank and Kaylin Moorehead also saw time on the court despite battling injuries while Denali Craig-Edwards looks to make her Jaguar debut after a redshirt year.
 
Bruce not only introduced three new staff members in Mary Evans, Marwan Miller and Katie Kollar but also brought in seven transfers and three freshmen. Jemma Amoore, Sydney Bolden, E'Zaria Adams, Ariana Williams, Kamara Mills, Hailey Smith and Olivia Smith all transferred to IU Indy this offseason while Mylie Wilkison, Julia Hall and Emmy Lowe look to make their collegiate debuts as incoming freshmen.
 
Hannah Blake returns to the staff for IU Indy and was promoted to Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator.
 
IU Indy is 7-9 all-time against Indiana State. The Jaguars have taken the last four matchups against the Sycamores with the most recent meeting ending in a 64-59 Jaguars' victory on Dec. 3, 2018.
 
IU Indy and the Sycamores are set for a 6:30 PM tipoff.
