That 80% included 4-5 from 3.

Great fit. Maybe starter, maybe backup, but I think he will thrive. Hopefully he is fully recovered. 

Pretty good night for Bryant.

I can't think of a player in recent memory that deserves a great, long run into March more than TJD. 
Maybe Yogi his senior year, but even then he already had a league title, 2 tourney appearances and a Sweet Sixteen. 
I want these next 2+ months to be amazing so much for TJD. He's earned that. 

I have a feeling we will get some good news from this kid soon. 

9-15 on 3s today and 21-24 FT

Bates now 28-68 on 3s for the season = 41%.

The Bates family is tearing up the floor today. 

Raby:  Steven Reynolds, considered the top freshman in Indiana, and Jayden Johnson, considered the top freshman in Kentucky, are visiting Indiana today.   FYI on Reynolds from Friday night --  South Bend Washington freshman Steven Reynolds hit ten 3-pointers tonight and finished with 43 points in a win over Jimtown.
Other reports Cupps and Sisley are in the house as well.

Race Thompson is warming up

They had a baby race at the break.  Tamar's daughter won!   

Zags go down in the Kennel. 

Seth Tow:  I've been looking through some national stats for my #iuwbb story on something not related to this one, but found it noteworthy:  Chloe Moore-McNeil's 3.60 assist to turnover ratio is second in the country. 90 assists, 25 turnovers this season.

As someone who went to IU and now lives 45 minutes from Champaign... this take is honestly laughable.
1) Champaign has a few good restaurants but it's nothing special
2) The State Farm Center is honestly the worst basketball arena I've ever been inside. My Purdue grad wife agrees.

There was a moment in the Butler game when the ball got stuck on the rim on a 3 point attempt and Bargesser jumped to dislodge it. So that leaping ability isn't totally gone ...

When Jerry ******* Dybzinski got picked off second base against the Orioles, wasting the last great performance of Britt Burns’s career, in game four, with an absolutely unhittable Lamar Hoyt rested and ready for game five.
And then Santana went yard.
There’s one poster on this board that will truly understand.

10,422 in attendance.  A new regular season record for the women's program.

Had an interesting conversation during the game with the parents of Trentyn Flowers, a top 20ish ‘24  that plays with Passmore, though he didn’t play tonight due to illness.. By blind luck they happened to be sitting next me during the session. Talked about Trentyn’s recruitment for a while. Nice folks, though very, uh, transactional about the process.. At 1 point mom notices my IU hoodie and busts out, “Oh, ‘Kease loves Indiana!”, and says he went on and on about his visit when he got back. Nice to hear.
Side note: I did maintain the discipline not to ask why Flowers has played at 4 high schools in 2 years. 

Mike's boy ...
 
Here's little Antoine and Mike way back when (Final Four, maybe?)

99.9%

What a response. The defense was 1,000%  better than the previous few games.
Kudos to the guys for responding rather than throwing in the towel.

Nice energy and offense out of the half!  
 
JHS is what we’ve been missing for years. Gets to an open spot and makes the defense pay.
