@Hoosierfan2017 I just hid your last post. Not because there was anything wrong with its content but we're going to do all we can to keep game threads to just that -- about the game and not let them drift off into other topics. We have a thread (Coronavirus and Sports Only) that would be the appropriate place for your post if you wish to re-post it.

Lexi's NLI has been received. Officially a Hoosier.

Food for thought. Our opponent next Wednesday night, St. John's, put up 119 points in a win over Mississippi Valley State.

20 rebounds is 20 rebounds but it was a pre-season scrimmage. Jakai's first regular season game is this coming Saturday in the Houston Tip-Off Classic in Tomball, TX. Haven't been able to find the name of the opponent.

The regular season tips off on Wednesday night when No. 8/7 Indiana travels to Butler. Tipoff inside Hinkle Fieldhouse is set for 7 p.m. ET on Big East Digital Network. #8/7 INDIANA (0-0) at BUTLER (0-0) Wednesday, November 10, 2021 • 7 p.m. ET Hinkle Fieldhouse • Indianapolis, Ind.

Graduate student guard Genesis Parker highlights the Bulldog returners from last season as she averaged 12.7 points per game and add eight new players for the 2021-22 season. They were picked to finish 11th in the Big East preseason poll and are coming off a 3-15 finish in 2020-21. SERIES HISTORY Indiana leads 7-1 LAST MEETING W, 64-53 – 12/11/19 (Indianapolis) NOTES Indiana opens the regular season on the road for the first time since 2012-13 when it faces Butler on Wednesday night. All-time in season openers, the Hoosiers are 37-12. This will be the first time in the Teri Moren era that the program will open up on the road. In its only exhibition of the season on Friday night, Indiana had six players in double figures as it defeated UIndy, 97-43. Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes led the way with 19 points, seven rebounds, three steals and two blocks. The Hoosiers have placed three different players on five watch lists this season. Senior guard Grace Berger is listed on three of them (Cheryl Miller, Wooden Award and Wade Trophy), while Ali Patberg is featured on two (Nancy Lieberman and Wade Trophy) and Holmes is on one (Lisa Leslie). Returning all five starters from last year's Elite Eight campaign, the group boasts a wealth of experience. During their time at Indiana combined between the five players – Patberg, Berger, Holmes, senior forward Aleksa Gulbe and graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary – account for 261 career starts, 257 career games played, 4,067 career points and 10,743 minutes played. UP NEXT IU returns to Bloomington for its home opener on Sunday against No. 13/13 Kentucky at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Better idea after Friday night's game against Northern Illinois. Same kind of storyline or do we see a different team?

Don't imagine Woody is overly pleased with how his debut has gone.

Not rebounding nearly as well as I would have expected. Both teams with 38 but we only have 4 offensive boards.

This is starting to remind me of too many Archie games.

That's enough. This is the game thread and we're not going to get into a medical debate. Thank you.

TJD with the block and then sprints down to get the slam on the other end. That's hustle.

Missed the fact Lander also did not play in the first half.

Tough break for the Buckeyes. Ohio State WBB junior point guard Madison Greene is out for the season with a knee injury; she averaged 13.4 PPG, 4.3 APG, and 3.5 RPG last season

No Leal and no Duncomb in the first half.

Comments from Rob at various times mentioned Fife working with him to build his confidence and it looks like it's working.

From A. J. Moye: Love to see Coach Woody’s emphasis on defense, team rebounding, love the offensive sets and the improved shooting of all players. As well as I love his emphasis on details, called quick TO and let em have it

If the Rob Phinisee we're seeing thus far is what we can expect to see all season we're gonna be very happy.
