Entering the final period leading by just 2 points, Indiana’s carelessness with the basketball returned. Junior guard Shay Ciezki’s pass in graduate student guard Chloe Moore-McNeil's direction was intercepted and layed in by sophomore guard Ari Long.

Indiana (12-7, 4-4 Big Ten) only had one field goal in the final 5:09 of the game and those turnovers all came before the Hoosiers could set up their half court offense. They gifted Oregon the ball at the top of the key and that led to a series of easy fast break layups.

Despite leading by 10 points in the third quarter, IU women's basketball had careless mistakes, a familiar trend, leading to a 54-47 loss to Oregon.

With its starters struggling to score Friday night, the Oregon women's basketball team turned to its underclassmen to pull out a win over Indiana.
