I thought we looked to push the ball especially after they scored. We let them set up the press and walked the ball up. Make the buckeyes work on defense. They’ll get tired.

Victor Oladipo inbounded the ball off Michigan State player and then dunked it. It was beautiful.

Exactly, good teams want to go to the free throw line. It’s an advantage to score with the clock stopped. You prepare for it. It’s good strategy. I can’t understand this lack of toughness from the line.

I’m surprised Robbie didn’t point that out.

We missed 10 FREE throws. It blows my mind.

Hawkins just committed two fouls: push off and over the back. No call.

I think it’s code for “IU sucks”. Then again, maybe I’m giving them too much credit.

This team misses Grace Berger. Clearly, replacing her was going to be a challenge. It is apparent that Yarden’s skill set isn’t going to fill that spot. She has 6 turnovers last night trying to get into the middle. That’s not her strength. She isn’t fluid in her movements and I don’t expect her to morph into Grace 2.0. The way she was used last year was better for the team and for her. She is a very good player, but it looks like she is unsure and frustrated on the offensive end of the floor. We have a very good team. Play to your strength.

MM hits the boards.

Yes, I can.

Getting out hustled!

I ordered my reserved seating tickets today. I plan to defer the option to choose seats to my cousin so that we can seat as a group. Nice option. Go Hoosiers.

Amen

Iowa would have to get by Maryland and that might be very difficult. The 28 point beat down the Terps put on Iowa was impressive.

Maybe we’ll get another shot at them in the conference tournament.

This is going to be a grind. We’ve got to keep our composure.

And no one looks at it to check if it was a head shot.

Stop fouling and stopping the clock.

25 to 8 free throw attempts. If they didn’t live on the line, Purdue would be blown off the court.

Interesting game tonight with So Carolina at Tennessee. Since Tennessee is a common opponent, I thought it would be good to watch how Tennessee matches up.

Rusty Shields does an awesome job singing the National anthem. He’s done it for women’s games for several seasons.

No threes. She’s hit the boards this half.

We had only 2 offensive rebounds. No second chances. We’ve got to be more aggressive the second half.

I believe the doors open an hour and a half before tipoff.
