Good start

Exactly- had the same thought can only help us

Their road signs are hysterical and iconic- really funny, and they draw you in. Parking lot always full— they’re only on the major interstates in Texas, and on our road trips over a good 15 years plus it’s a must stop- total cult lol

Funny, we destroy PSU in record fashion and they’re now in a 2-pt game with MSU with 3 min left

We have Buc-ee’s in Texas, it’s almost a cult thing, have to stop at a Buc-ee’s on any road trip, big, size of small grocery, several types of fresh jerky and pastries and tons of types of snack mixes etc

He knows very little about college ball (“turrible’) but he’s hysterical, always a fun listen

Hard one to pick, but head says UK pulls this one out at home, in what is close to if not a 'must win' for them. Their losses have all been to good teams and they're kind of desperate for a W, so we're going to get their best effort, on their home floor. But who cares, going with my heart, F UK IU - 77 UK - 74

Think the starters/top 6-7 are pretty clear now, but it’s still early in season. Before yesterday’s game people were questioning Maya. She always had the talent, but as a frosh at her position has been adjusting to the tempo and athleticism of college- DI level ball. Now she’s catching up and with a starter spot, shined. She probably will have up and down games going forward but she’s now demonstrated what she’s capable of. Wouldn’t rule out either similar growth in others or impact portal additions next season

Great to see Maya take off like that

Kind of a breakout game for Maya

Off to a good start 10-2

Which was also the year I graduated at IU. You're welcome.

Golly, actual modern basketball. Bu-bye Woodson.

The gas station? lol

Def agree we need her, she’s key

This is the kind of game our guys should get 'up' for. I was surprised they didn't get up for the Louisville game. If our team vs. Marquette, KSU and PSU shows up we'll have a good shot at getting this big road W. Consistency, after the PSU game, bringing effort and ball movement like that on the road, is needed to get the W. If it's the team that showed up against Minn and Ville it will be ugly. Time to put that crap effort behind us. Really like that Dorn has been getting better and better, and bringing some swag. He can be a key to this W.

Well that stinks. She's definitely key

This team isn't a 'bottom feeder' in any sense and will be fine. Aaron already covered your comment about a severe lack in recruiting the right players. But what happened is that there was almost a complete roster turnover last year with publicly stated problems in the locker room -- that was on top of the prior recruiting by the assistant. Moren publicly recognized that the program needed to get bigger and more athletic to compete beyond what it's done so far, and with Colsten Thompson in the fold that's exactly what she/the program is doing right now. That's the point. The incoming frosh are outstanding top-tier recruits, and while Ciezki is a senior, Lenee is a R-Soph, Caffey's a frosh, Maya's a frosh, Socka's a soph, and Stotijn's a soph. That's a strong core with really talented incoming frosh and likely additions from the portal. The program is clearly headed in the right direction, including in recruiting.

Is Socka back from her injury or out for tomorrow? I thought her current injury was minor.

Is that a heart in the middle? I heart you too Stu!!

What’s the stock saying, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results? Woodson and Miller are gone. So are all the former players. Yeah we’re all beaten down, but I’m big on DeVries’ bball vision and how he’s started to implement it here

Dorn adding scoring depth is a real key. Teams, including UK coming up, are going to scout and focus Wilkerson as much as possible, Tucker too. Other guys are going to have to step up in turn creating space for them. Dorn’s looking better each game

This is the thing. These all time numbers minimally show this team’s potential to outperform expectations. So we’re not a top of conference team, but you don’t play this well and not be fully capable of at least a decent run into the tourney. The fatalism after two bad early games is just so extreme. Tonight showed the team can compete now they have to start showing consistent effort and overall play on the road

He hurt himself celebrating after the game…
