Class of '66 Old Fart

Midpoint of the 3rd and it's a 46-27 IU lead as WMU has yet to score in the quarter.

We've upped the lead to 13 just 2 minutes into the 3rd Q starting off with a 7-0 run. Holmes has a double-double.

Missing their leading scorer and we're letting WMU hang around much too long. Maybe the shot clock delay upset our bio-rhythms. At the half we hold on to a 33 - 27 lead. Holmes: 8 pts; 9 reb Browne: 6 pts; 7 reb Berger: 6 pts; 3 reb Cardano-Hillary: 5 pts. Patberg: 4 pts; 6 assts

25-21 at the midpoint of the 2nd Q. Holmes already with 9 reb.

End of 1 and we have a 19-14 lead. Kiandra Browne off the bench with 6 pts. and 4 reb. in 5 min. of play. Cardano-Hillary has 5 pts.

WMU player tried to check into the game; took off her warm-up and wasn't wearing a team jersey just an undershirt!

Midway thru the 1st Q and we lead 11 - 7.

No problem, I gladly accept gift cards!

Damn senior moment. Thanks for pointing it out.

1:24 just posted as the estimated tipoff. Hopefully once the clocks start working they'll stay working. Also reported that WMU's leading scorer at 21 ppg is in street clothes today.

Summary of the game by lineups. https://indianahq.com/indiana-vs-notre-dame-by-the-lineups/

There will be a delay in the start of the game. The shot clocks are not working!

9-2 soon to be 10-2 83 54

Cathedral beaten by Indpls. Tech 80 - 73. Izzo reportedly at the game to watch Booker who battled foul trouble and did not score.

In the City of Palms Classic, Fayette County beaten by Westlake 60 - 59. Banks with 17 pts; 7 reb.

St. Mary's 56-46 over Parkway. I had Parks with 15 pts. on 6-8 FG; 3-4 FT; 5 reb; 3 asst; 3 stl; 2 blk; 1 TO. Parkway doubleteamed him almost every time he touched the ball and he drew a number of fouls. He also demonstrated he's not afraid to get floor burns on a couple of occasions when the ball was lose on the floor.

Peoria Notre Dame (7-1) over IVC 48-20. Game was on YouTube if you're interested. Total mismatch from the opening tipoff. I had Koch with 10 pts; 2 reb; 4 asst; 4 stls; 1 blk; 0 TO.

Bossi on today's Montverde game in the City of Palms Classic specifically on Kwame Evans -- ...Evans is ranked among the top five in 2023 and can be inconsistent. At Montverde he's toughened up, found a balance of playing inside and hunting deep jumpers but what is most impressive is his defensive versatility. It is hard to put into writing the things he's capable of but each time out he makes a few wow plays. He had three steals and two blocks to go with his 10 points and six rebounds in just under 16 minutes.

Bossi on today's Montverde game in the City of Palms Classic Just a week ago, powerful Montverde (Fla.) Academy lost at the buzzer to Duncanville (Texas) High. If there were any worries about a hangover in their next event, they ended them quick on Saturday. They jumped all over a talented Lilburn (Ga.) Berkmar team early and cruised home to a 76-51 victory. With five players scoring between 10 and 16 points, it is hard to lock in on just one guy but we'll go with Indiana bound guard Jalen Hood-Schifino, Texas bound wing Dillon Mitchell and five-star junior four man Kwame Evans because of how versatile each of them is defensively. Hood-Schifino is going to arrive at Indiana physically ready to compete in the Big Ten. He's a smart player who can play all three perimeter spots and he has a calming influence. His three ball has been dropping the last few times we've seen him play and that's encouraging. The one thing that Hood-Schifino is always going to do, though, is defend. That commitment to locking up will endear him to Mike Woodson and staff quickly. He finished with 16 points, six rebounds and a pair of assists. When it comes to Mitchell, he may have the most potential as a wing defender of any player in the class of 2022. He's freaky athletic finishing at the rim but he's every bit as impressive with his lateral quickness and ability to be in the right place at the right time. He finishes lobs, crashes the glass and is a dangerous straight line driver. If he gets his jump shot ironed out, the sky is the limit for him in college and beyond. Finally, Evans is ranked among the top five in 2023 and can be inconsistent. At Montverde he's toughened up, found a balance of playing inside and hunting deep jumpers but what is most impressive is his defensive versatility. It is hard to put into writing the things he's capable of but each time out he makes a few wow plays. He had three steals and two blocks to go with his 10 points and six rebounds in just under 16 minutes.

Montverde participating in the City of Palms Classic and today beat Berkmar (GA) 74 -48. Hood-Schifino had 16 pts. and Kwame Evans 10 pts. That's the only stats I've seen thus far.

NOTES Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes was named the Big Ten Player of the Week on Monday thanks to her back-to-back scoring efforts against Fairfield and at No. 20 Ohio State. The leading scorer in both wins, Holmes averaged 26.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 blocked shots and shot 75.9 percent from the floor to claim her second Big Ten Player of the Week award this season and the third of her career. The Hoosiers will play three games in five days to wrap up non-conference play beginning on Sunday. The Hoosiers hold a 6-2 record against non-league opponents, playing three ranked opponents in that span. In its last three games, Indiana has posted 20+ point victories in all three outings and held opponents to just 54.7 points per game on 36.0 percent shooting. During that stretch, it has averaged 82.3 points per game while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor and 40 percent from 3-point range. Holmes also joined the 1,000-point club against Ohio State and became the third active player to reach the milestone, joining graduate senior guard Ali Patberg and senior guard Grace Berger. It's the second time in school history that the roster has featured a trio of 1,000-point scorers – last time in 2016 when Tyra Buss, Amanda Cahill and Alexis Gassion all added their names to the list. UP NEXT Indiana continues its non-conference homestand with Wright State on Tuesday night. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Peoria Notre Dame over Normal West 66 - 51. Fortunately I was able to watch a stream of the game because you'd never know what happened from the Peoria Journal Star. But I digress. First time I've seen Koch play and I thought he runs the court very well. He's active on the offensive end and I thought there were times he could have easily made a move to the bucket but opted to pass it out to an open teammate. I had him with 18 pts. on 6-10 FG; 2-4 on 3s; 4-4 FT; 5 reb; 3 asst; 2 stl; 1 blk; 1 TO.
