INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana women’s basketball’s loss to Butler University unfolded with a story all too familiar to the Hoosiers’ first two games of the season: turnovers, mistakes from veterans and a lack of physicality.

Butler women's basketball was 1-27 three years ago. On Wednesday, Austin Parkinson and the Bulldogs got a signature win in this program rebuild.
