[ccgeneral 38,084]

We host the Hilltoppers @ 7 pm ET.  This should be a tough test. Go Hoosiers!

WKU comes in with a 1-2 record after opening the season with a win over No. 16 Missouri (79-76) and losses to Iowa (104-97 OT) and No. 6 Notre Dame (78-65). They are led early on by senior forward Tashia Brown (23.7 ppg., 6.0 rpg.) and redshirt sophomore forward Dee Givens (13.3 ppg.). Senior forward Ivy Tech is leading on the glass (6.7 rpg., 13.0 ppg.) while the Lady Toppers are shooting 40.1 percent through three games.

Getting beat on 3s.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

WKU 24-19 end of 1.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,957]

WKU's record is only 1-2, but it's no slouch team by any means and we'll have our hands full.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Cahill 3 cuts an earlier 12 point deficit in half.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

WKU 36-31 @ half.  Nice finish, but we have some work to do.

[Hoosierfan31 466]

We are struggling because we survive on freethrows in assembly and we aren't getting them. Maybe we will get some calls in the 2nd half

Are Penn and Yeaney just being checked, or missing shots?  Sorry I can't listen, my high school is playing Semi State tonight :)

I was about to say something about how can we compete in Big Ten if struggling with this WKU team? Than I looked and realized they are actually a really good team coming off a 27-7 season and have already beat a ranked Mizzou team and playing reasonably well against an elite Notre Dame team (not to mention we lost to them last year and were still decent). I should of used my own trick which especially works at the Mid-Major level that generally if a school is strong in Football or Basketball it usually spreads across other sports and WKU has had a pretty good run in their conference in football last few years.

I'll leave analysis to others as I don't follow Women's Basketball quite like Baseball and Soccer but I am fairly familiar and see IU has an extremely tough non conference schedule.

Hoosiers tie it up early!

Missing shots. IU 43-38 a few minutes in.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Yeaney picks up her 3rd foul. Time for Warthen to step up.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Cahill with another double/double. 15 pts, 10 rebs, 5 asts and 4 stls.

IU 48-41 under 5 in the 3rd.

[mamasa 14,818]

I see Brown picked up her 4th, that's big

[ccgeneral 38,084]
