Indiana junior forward Lilly Meister has entered the transfer portal, per reporting from Skim Milkey, the women’s basketball equivalent of anonymous men’s college basketball insider Trilly Donovan:

Meister averaged 6.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 17.2 minutes per game this past season with the Hoosiers, her first without playing behind the program’s all-time leading scorer, Mackenzie Holmes.
She split time at the five spot with Karoline Striplin, a former Tennessee transfer who spent her senior year in Bloomington this past season. Striplin eventually took over as the Hoosiers’ starting five after getting more up to speed with the program’s systems and philosophies on each end of the court.
It was always going to be an uphill battle to replace Indiana’s paint scoring, and Meister did what she could to her credit. She didn’t have the post moves or strength of Holmes and instead relied more on being schemed open around the rim.
