The Elite Eight is the farthest an Indiana women’s team has advanced in the tournament since it was expanded to 64 teams in 1994.

Indiana head coach Teri Moren said the tournament format suits her team.

“We're built for this, from an endurance standpoint. We have this blue-collar mentality that we live by in Bloomington every day we step on the floor.

Indiana, the fourth seed in the tournament, and third-seeded Arizona play at 9 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

The winner of Monday's game advances to the national semifinal on April 2 against the winner of UConn/Baylor.
