Class of '66 Old Fart

NCAA coming back at Oklahoma State and its attacks on the NCAA -- Comments by Oklahoma State personnel regarding its infractions case resulted in NCAA volunteer committee members and staff receiving threatening and offensive messages after being identified by name. This is unacceptable. Oklahoma State personnel encouraged individuals to circumvent the NCAA member-created process that every school agrees to participate in as part of their responsibility to each other. Further, there is a troubling trend of misstating facts about the infractions process by schools that disagree with the infractions outcomes. Each member has the ability to seek change to the Division I infractions process, and there is a review group underway looking at how to improve the process. This is also a clear example of the work that needs to be done to address issues and behaviors like this moving forward with the new NCAA Constitution and Division I Transformation process. We know that an adverse decision can be emotional, but personal attacks against individuals simply carrying out their responsibilities are inappropriate, unethical and potentially dangerous. John J. DeGioia, NCAA Board of Governors chair and president at Georgetown Jere Morehead, NCAA Division I Board of Directors chair and president at Georgia Mark Emmert, NCAA President

Haven't seen a lot of pre-game info on the IU site. We know the Huskies won their season opener 71-64 against Washington. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/know-your-opponent-northern-illinois-2 Live Stats Radio

Moren on Bargesser "We are thrilled that Lexus is a Hoosier. When we started recruiting for our Class of 2022, we knew we need a point. We feel that we got the best fit for us in the entire country.

@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?
