Class of '66 Old Fart

Our 7-0 women’s bball team faces 8-0 Iowa State Sunday at 1:30 ET in the championship game of the Coconut Hoops event. 6’3” Audi Crooks is a force in the middle for ISU and I’m not sure we can stop her without our bigs getting into early foul trouble. She averages 25 ppg and 6 rpg. As a team, the Cyclones shoot 51% from the field and 36.5% on 3s. They average 93 ppg and have held their opponents to 53 ppg. They average 44 rpg vs their opponents 28 rpg. Radio

Bright side today is Maya 3-4 on 3s and hopefully she's over her freshman jitters and can continue to be a positive with her 3-point shooting.

Shay fouls out with 3:41 left having played every second. 38p and never made a 3 today. just 1-6 on 3s.

Final score is not going to reflect just how hard our women played today. Shay, Noyan and Caffey all 4 fouls. Somehow Addie Crooks has only picked up a single foul. 93-78 with 4:53 left. Shay 38p. We're only 6-23 on 3s today which hasn't helped our cause.

ISU started to gain separation over the last 4 min. of the 3rd. Noyan and Caffey both with 4 fouls. We've been called for 20 fouls; ISU 14. Crooks 36p Chey 33 and has played every minute

Our UNDEFEATED Hoosiers host the Bethune Cookman Wildcats (2-5) who have a hot and cold offense. They scored over 90 in 2 games but in the last 2 games just 64 and 54 both losses. The BC coaching staff has 2 pretty recognizable names. First is its head coach Reggie Theus whose bio includes this. During his NBA career, Theus scored 19,015 points, with 6,453 assists. The two-time all-star finished his career ranked 22nd all-time in career scoring and 11th in career assists. He currently ranks 63rd and 31st in career points and assists, respectively. At the time of his retirement, Theus was one of only five players to record over 19,000 points and over 6,000 assists. Theus is one of only two players in NBA history listed at 6'6" or taller to tally more than 750 assists in an NBA season (788 in 1985-86). The only other player to accomplish the feat is Hall-of-Famer Magic Johnson. The second name is assistant coach Billy Garrett, whose father, Bill Garrett, is recognized as the first African-American basketball player in the Big Ten Conference. He played at Indiana for three seasons and finished his collegiate career in 1951 as the program's all-time leading scorer. The All-American at Indiana was drafted by the Boston Celtics and he also played with the Harlem Globetrotters before becoming a Hall of Fame high school coach in Indiana. BC shoots 46% FG and 35% on 3s. They have a -2.3/gm rebounding margin but average 7 steals/gm. Live Stats Radio - Varsity Network Radio - WHCC

Noyan, Caffey and Wiseman all 3 fouls. 60-55 ISU with 4:46 left in 3rd.

Noyan doing a very commendable job today. 6p and 5r in 16 min. 55-53 Hoosiers with 6:28 left in the 3rd.

Z was grabbing her leg at the end of the Gonzaga game and at that time Austin Render thought she was cramping. Today he described it as a lower body injury but not long term in nature.

Becoming a fired head coach is a great way to enhance your lifestyle.

Pete Thamel - Michigan State plans to fire coach Jonathan Smith today. He went 1-8 in the Big Ten this season and his overall record in two seasons was 9-15. He's set to be owed $33 million.

46-43 at the half with ISU leading but our women have played extremely well. Shay 20 pts, and we've needed every one of them.

35-31 ISU with 4:32 left in the 2nd and on a 7-0 run. Wiseman picks up 3rd foul and Nevaeh has 2 fouls. 2 Cyclones each have 2 fouls. Stotijn hits her 1st 3 of the year. Shay 15 pts. Crooks with 15 for ISU.

Tied at 24 after 1Q and the women are doing a great job thus far. Maya 1-2 on 3s and if she can start hitting them with regularity that will be a real plus.

16-10 ISU 4:05 left. Crooks has 9 of ISU's 16 pts. and Shay has 8 of our 10,

11-8 ISU with 5:36 in the 1st. Q Sounds like it might be 5 against 8 today. Beaumont and Caffey both have been called for charging fouls. Faith Wiseman got the call off the bench for Noyan. ISU player has picked up 2nd foul.

Z was grabbing her leg at the end of the Gonzaga game and at that time Austin Render thought she was cramping. Today he described it as a lower body injury but not long term in nature. Our next opponent is Wednesday at home against Western Michigan (1-4) and then on Saturday we open B1G play on the road at Illinois (5-1). I'm guessing we don't see Z play Wed. but hopefully good to go next Saturday.

Noyan gets the start with Z out.

If we don't get off to a good start and keep our composure, I'm afraid this game could get away from us quickly. Austin Render on the pre-game show said Z will not play. Nothing serious but she will not play today.

All tied up after this weekend's football and women's volleyball competitions Next events not until late January when we host the conference swimming and diving championships

If you're not familiar with this competition between IU and PUke, here's a quick summary thanks to @LIHoosier Since 2001-02, the two schools have conducted an all-sports competition. It originally was known as the Titan Series until 2004, when it was renamed the Crimson & Gold Cup. It became the Governor's Cup in 2013. Points are awarded to the winning team in each of the schools' 20 shared sports. If the two teams do not meet during the regular season, the higher finisher at the Big Ten Championships is the point winner. In the case of ties, both teams get half a point. In 19 years of competition, Purdue has captured the title seven times and Indiana nine times. Two years have ended in a tie. The Boilermakers have won four of the last six crowns. At this precise moment, IU leads 5.0 to 2.5 but it will be 5.0 to 3.0 after our men lose to PUke in bball. 2020-21 GOVERNOR'S CUP SCHEDULE, RESULTS Sport (Pts.)
