Scalia has shot poorly the last two games. 3-12 today and 2-9 Sunday. I expect this will turn around after the break as she has been a much better shooter in her career.

Michigan loses to Toledo at home.

Penn state and Illinois are Quadrant 1 wins in the NET as of today. Neither of these squads sniffed that high in the NET last year so these are quality wins.

Sloppy play continues.

If she has a similar work ethic as Mack it could be great things in the future.

Got a chance to watch the Illinois replay last night. It looked to me like we let Illinois speed us up for long stretches which resulted in rushed shots in the paint. We will need to stay in control if Penn State tries to speed us up like that.

I watched Penn State for about a half earlier this year. They are a mid-level team overall but capable of playing at a high level any given night. Consistency was their challenge from the bits I have seen.

Sometimes you need to win games that you should have lost. This appears to be one of those times. How we respond to Penn State will say a lot about us going forward.

Saw the end of the game. Will take the win and the learning that comes from it.

Thanks for the update

Not able to watch. What is causing our low output?

Replay is on B10+ if you have access.

Missed the game as we had iour office Xmas party throwing axes. Excited to watch this game in replay

Here is an article on Mack that is a good read. Mackenzie Holmes embraces leadership role with 5th-ranked Indiana - Portland Press Herald

Sounds like it is not a tear which is the best we can hope for. I expect Coach and her staff will not rush Grace back into live ball action given the upcoming schedule in December/early January. Assuming it is only a strained ligament, we might see Grace out for 6-8 weeks. In six weeks, we have Nebraska, Northwestern at seven weeks, followed by Maryland, Wisconsin and Illinois. We have tough back-to-back with Michigan and Ohio State on January 23rd and 26th, respectively. It would be great to have her back at full strength and a bit of game time heading into those two matchups.

btownqb said what I was going to say on Grace's injury. The Auburn player's injury was from landing flat on her back and hitting her head on the floor after a battle for a rebound. The court did not play a factor in the injury in this one either.

The problem was that the teams were told that the facility would have a certain look that would make the fan/tv experience more appealing. The facility and organizers did not fulfill this end of the deal and have admitted as much.

Final IU 79; Memphis 64 Holmes - 27 pts, 5 rebounds Garzon - 17 pts, 6 rebounds, 4 assists Scalia - 16 pts, 6 rebounds Parrish - 10 pts, 7 rebounds, 4 assists Moore-McNeil - 7 pts, 6 rebounds, 8 assists Overall, 50.8% from field, 36% from three.

Still up 12 after three, 60-48.
