Mavunga had 14 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks for her eighth double-double this season with Harper picking up her sixth with 19 points and 10 boards.

Tyra Buss scored 24 points and Kym Royster a career-high 22 for the Hoosiers (7-8, 0-2 Big Ten).

Ohio State (12-2, 2-0) scored the game's first 11 points and led 32-13 at halftime. Indiana didn't get closer than 13 thereafter and then only with 35 seconds left.

The Buckeyes ran their winning streak over the Hoosiers to 11.
