Paybacks are hell. Let's make that winning streak 3 in a row. Toiletmakers (11-12) (3-9) are on a 3-game losing streak and just 1-8 in road games. Their most recent loss was last night in Mackey to previously winless in conference Penn State. They average 70 ppg shooting 43% FG and 34% on 3s. They average 36 rpg just 3 better than their opponents. They turn the ball over 16/game. Tara Daye at 12.4 and Kiki Smith at 10.6 are their leading scorers. On any volume, Smith at 36% and Madison Layden-Zay at 35% are their best 3-point shooters. Daye at 6.8 is their leading rebounder. Next best at 4.5 is Lana McCarthy. As a team, they have an assist/turnover ratio of under 1.0. In the game at Mackey, we controlled the boards but they made 50% (11-22) of their 3-point shots. Our laxness in perimeter defense also let them have 21 assists against just 15 turnovers; a team who on the season's ratio is less than 1.0. If we can avoid foul trouble and the careless ball handling, there's no reason we can't send them back to West Laffy with their 4th loss in a row. Radio Live Stats

She may have married a Badger but she wasn't afraid to support her alma mater last night.

@LamarCheeks you've been doing a great job as a mostly solo artist. There's a rumor on Facebook Lady Gaga would like to do a duet with you. Your efforts in keeping the women's game threads updated during the games is most appreciated. Thank you. Now with 2 in a row under their belts including a road win hopefully their confidence has taken a jump and they'll really lay it on the Toiletmakers Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile.

Our already short roster is even shorter tonight.

Can't dwell on what might have been. Winnable game on Saturday and we can't let it slip through our fingers. Badgers (16-6) (8-3) have played 14 of their 22 games on their own court. They average 83 ppg with a +8 margin shooting 45% on FG and 35% on 3s. We average 81 ppg and 47% and 35% in comparison. Defensively the Badgers hold opponents to 44% and 33% shooting. Our defense holds opponents to 41% and 31%. Badgers average 37 rpg with a +3 margin; we average 35 rpg. Wisky average 16 assists/gm. vs just 10 turnovers. 3 players average double figures led by Nick Boyd at 20.0 ppg.; John Blackwell 18.8 and Nolan Winter 13.8. On any significant volume Braeden Carrington at 42% and Blackwell at 38% are their best 3-point shooters. Winter is their best rebounder at 8.7/gm. Nick Boyd leads the team in assists and has a 2.0 assist/turnover ratio. Radio Live Stats

Yeah us!

#4 was total fabrication meant purely as poking fun at the whole issue of requiring shirt tails be tucked in.

Michael Niziolek @michaelniziolek Source confirms that Indiana football is finalizing a deal with Tino Sunseri to come back as teams quarterbacks coach

Inside The Hall says Conerway is questionable for tonight's game.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about the PUke trolls.

More like the Tennessee Waltz.

Upcoming College Football Playoff dates for the quarterfinals and semi-finals the next two years. This includes a near two-week break between the quarterfinals and semi-finals the next two years.

Paywalled recruiting update on On3. Obviously a number of schools are mentioned but she's quoted "...I’m really close with the coaching staff over there too, like from the assistant coaches all the way to the head coaches. I have group chats with them." She's been on campus but it was a group visit with her entire team. Long way to go with this recruitment.

Not at all related to the USC game but I know lots of people will see it. Alec Lasley - Indiana will honor the 1975-76 national championship team at halftime of next Monday's game vs Oregon. Members include Quinn Buckner, Scott May, Kent Benson, Bobby Wilkerson, Jim Crews, Scott Eells, James Roberson, Tom Abernethy, Mitchell Radford - honoring Wayne Radford.

Paywalled story on On3 following Gardner's UV. I had previously seen Feb. 5, as a possible return to action date for him but in this story he indicated to Kyler Staley it would be around the start of sectionals - first week of March. He says the right things but don't they all? DDV's guards have freedom on the court. DDV is cool and laid back. Likes that DDV said he wants to play faster as the years move on. Good relationship with Drew Adams; still working on the relationship thingy with DDV and the other coaches.
