Indiana (2-0) recorded its sixth straight victory against Kentucky (1-1), which opened the season ranked in the preseason poll for the first time.

Carly Ormerod led the Wildcats with 14 points and scored the team's last two points when she made two free throws with 27.3 seconds remaining. Jennifer Humphrey added 12 rebounds and Sarah Elliott had 13 rebounds for Kentucky, which led by as many as 13 points in the first half.

Indiana's Carrie Smith, who finished with 10 points and six rebounds, left the game with less than nine minutes remaining after banging her left knee and didn't return.
