Mackenzie Holmes belongs in the Big Ten Player of the Year conversation

Previous Episode: Hoosiers drop heartbreaker to Northwestern after second half comeback

Next Episode: IU women's basketball captures Big Ten title on memorable day

The Indiana Hoosiers women's basketball team routed the Michigan Wolverines on Thursday, their second straight blowout win over a ranked team this week. Mackenzie Holmes continued her dominance with a masterful performance, scoring 27 points in the win.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) recaps another dominant win for the Hoosiers against another ranked conference foe, the second in the same week. It was a stingy defensive effort from IU that stymied the Wolverines, a typically high-scoring offense. Chloe Moore-McNeil was one of the bright spots on both ends of the court as she was second on the team in scoring at 13 points and also defended one of the top guards in the Big Ten, Leigha Brown, holding her to just nine points.

The show wraps by previewing the men's team's game against Illinois on Saturday. After a frustrating loss to Northwestern that likely cost them a chance to make the Big Ten competitive, the Hoosiers can bounce back with a win over Illinois to get back on track.
