Class of '66 Old Fart

And the mystery behind Carlyle's absence continues.

For those that follow our women's recruiting. Jenica #10 plays tonight scheduled for 7:15 ET vs. Waukee.

Yes, I know the Hoosiers are on TV tonight at 7:00 but you might also want to check in on Fishers HS vs. Noblesville HS. Jason Gardner and Cooper Zachary for Fishers and Justin Curry for Noblesville. Tipoff set for 7:30. If you miss it tonight, you can probably catch a replay tomorrow at the same site. http://hctv1.com/?B=1446875

Class act.

Hate to lose Sunseri but if other major schools don't target your assistants then you've got the wrong assistants on the payroll.

Notice that Coach Cig re-tweeted Osterman

You're really working at this. I hope you don't pull a hammy. (I'm kidding)

Next up a road trip to Penn State (8-1) on Saturday to open B1G play.

IU women survive with a 67-63 win. I don't know about the team, but I'm exhausted.

Shay with a HUGE 3 with 25 sec. left and gives us a 63-59 lead

60-59 just 34 sec. left. We're in another 4 min. drought.

60-57 Hoosiers with 1:52 left. Honestly don't know how they dug themselves out of a 15 point hole considering we're "blistering" the nets at 36% and we're 8-28 on 3s -- Yarden 2-12. And our FT shooting also a measly 12-20.

56-55 Hoosiers with 7:00 left. Make that 58-55 with 6:23 left.

51-48 USI leads after 3 Qs. Expended a lot of effort in the 3rd and don't know if we've got enough left in the tank for another 10 minutes. Jules did return to the bench and checked back in for the last 35 sec. of the quarter.

3:19 left in the 3rd and we've tied it up 44-44. And then Shay immediately picks up her 4th foul.

We've cut the lead to 6 but it hasn't been easy for the women. 44-41 midway through the 3rd. Jules is still in the locker room. Yarden and Shay both have 3 fouls. USI has 3 players with 3 fouls each. Thus far in the 3rd, we held USI to 1-5 FG.

Jules came off and headed to the locker room. Lordy, we can't afford any more injuries.
