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

3-star listed as 6’5” attends Grayson HS in Loganville, GA. @Mj_Curry20 247 On3 Hudl MaxPreps Season opener for Grayson on Nov. 9.

This one came out of left field. Haven't seen a single mention of his name before this announcement. Interestingly, he play at St. John's College Prep, the same school that IUWBB offers '26 Camille Nesmith and '26 Morgan Stewart both attend.

Put the ISU game behind us and move on. With a 6:00 tipoff hopefully the game will essentially be over at halftime so you can tune in to the 7:00 tipoff of IUBB at Minnesota and not feel guilty. Western Michigan (1-4) its only win a 1-point win over Milwaukee. It has a -18.6 scoring margin. Not a team blessed with a lot of height so even if Z doesn't play, we should be able to at least hold our own on the boards. Weak offensively averaging just 58 ppg shooting 36% from the field and 27% on 3s. They turn the ball over 20/gm. Radio Live Stats

'Tis the season!

4 seed

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.
