We have a very small number of offers who play on the 3SSB circuit. Full box score data is only available with a paid subscription and with the salaries we mods are drawing, there simply aren't any discretionary funds for such frivolities as full box score info. If this year mirrors last year, full stats will be available at the end of July so hopefully that will hold true again.

Looks like their retiring AD is getting a cushy 7 figure job from the university with no actual job description. How can I land that gig?Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:40:51 +0000At this point in any season there are just too many unknowns. No one knows how the season will unfold. There needs to be depth for the stumbles, droughts, injuries, missed projections etc. Players need to be ballers and willing to go the extra effort to make every move, every situation, every practice count. But they are just college students...people. Markus Burton has a huge impact on how this team performs. This is a big season to really take the mettle of the coaching staff. I'm very hopeful and have to give a tip of the ole coonskin cap to those coaches that helped close the deals on good players that have more than one year of eligibility. I'm buying tickets. Well, we are waiting....Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:39:10 +0000Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:37:51 +0000Nymcheck , highest rated recruit got the sportsmanship award in recent MacDonalds all star game. But that doesn’t score points. She scored 0 points (she is capable) and was an excellent teammate and ball distributor.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:31:44 +0000Fenn another long term injury player. Don’t expect any more than Mac level trying to play in big ten. Bench and warmups and she can improve for next year. When next year comes she transfers to Miami of Ohio or somewhere. IU Ladies have fallen into a trap of developmental program for other programs since NIL has become such a big factor.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:27:48 +0000If Z stays healthy and able to play 34 minutes per game without injury and continual foul trouble and Zoe Jackson as things are now is a wild card for next season. with all the mobility of players now win now becomes more essential. In football which is even more challenging, Cignetti did in his first year really what IU development programs under a bunch of coaches and players tried to do in over a 100 years.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:23:24 +0000I am not saying we have to get another "starting center." But don't we have to get SOMEBODY to be a decent backup center? I am hoping 6'4" Fenn can play center. I honestly don't know. We're pretty short at the moment. At least I think we are? You all pay way more attention to the incoming freshmen than I do. Are any of them capable of playing center in the Big10?Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:22:07 +0000Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:18:58 +0000I so badly wanted Jakai to find success in the college game but it didn't happen at GA State. He averaged 17 min/gm and played 20+ in just 2 games both early in the season. 7.1 ppg on 33% FG, 26% on 3s, 82% FT 21 TOs vs 18 assists.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:16:42 +0000Again missing the point or refusing to see the point. Time played distribution involves whole team not just 2 players. Combinations and strategies..:And before you try to use Tennessee example I am not talking about that. And that’s fine 20 win season is definitely a possibility and mid big ten performance without any more changes. Enjoy.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:11:05 +0000Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:04:47 +0000Id be thrilled with 20 wins and getting back to tourney as IU builds this back up with a young team. You can’t supercharge a rebuild and the fact that Ngeuman was unwilling to wait behind Lauren Betts another year (hence how IU got her) should be ultimate proof no starting level big will come when you already have one. If Cori Close can’t get two bigs to work together at UCLA who are both starting level, I am not sure how you think Moren can. There is zero way to divide minutes amongst two starting bigs who mostly occupy the lane in today’s modern game. That is Z’s prototype and no amount of coaching or wishing makes her a four or someone you can split time with divided between two starting level centers. Moren will either look like a genius or an idiot for hitching wagon to Z and this season will answer which it is. However, in today’s game there is no third option to bring in another top tier big or hoard players. Despite what IU fans seem to think, its not always championship or bust. Its about the journey and establishing an identity with this group as Moren did in 2018-2019 before taking off. The pieces are there if Z stays healthy and everyone besides the transfers have at least two yrs left. I am much more concerned about building a foundation and culture and returning to tourney than setting a number on wins and contending. Feel same way about DeVries and Moren and this year will show if they have the stones to coach in current Big Ten environment given talent they have now.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:55:16 +0000He said he was a Hoosier, but now, he's REALLY a Hoosier.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:50:54 +0000I love our fanbase. Lol I think there will be games that our two bigs play over 30 minutes. If we're a good team. (Top 20, better than 6th in conference) there should plenty of mop up minutes for a third big, to include injury/foul trouble. If Sherrell does average over 30 minutes it means he's under 250 and in great shape. I hope Burton can complete a season playing around 33 minutes a night.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:44:28 +0000….here! lolTue, 21 Apr 2026 19:38:30 +0000It's to hard to quote a post here and respond to it over there..hahaTue, 21 Apr 2026 19:25:32 +0000
