^^Both are putting on a clinic, Shay 7-12, 3-5 from the arc, Lenee 6-8 and 3-3 2 and 1 fouls respectively No one else in double figures yet though

That's interesting, and a little surprising. Various predictions based on KSU's high-scoring offense centered around the 3-ball have this a very close game -- our D must be getting some real cred -- hopefully that holds up

And the women's game right now

So watch the intro lol

Gentlemen we can rebuild him We have the technology We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic Demo Better, stronger, faster

Yeah and I saw somewhere a total point prediction of 157, though that site had IU a 8.5 favorite. I think it's going to be a lot closer, but hope that line holds

Haggerty, I believe, is the top scorer in the nation, and as a team KSU scores in the 90s and efficiently, with their lowest score being I think 84 and averaging 93 ppg - a high output 3-point shooting team. This is going to be tough, tough game and should be a battle of high scoring offenses. Wish it wasn't immediately before the Thanksgiving break, but regardless our guys are going to have to come back scoring and playing with ball movement, energy, and accuracy the way they were playing before the last two games, and slowing Haggerty down while avoiding foul trouble will be a key.

Had thought Ristic would be close to returning, Starting to do more things probably isn't contact scrimmaging, guess it'll be a while. That's too bad but hopefully sometime early in conf play.

Ristic played well in Puerto Rico. Getting him back, another point/on ball guard, should help. No leaked reports that I’ve heard but you’d think he be close given the amount of time. all we know is it’s an undisclosed foot injury

It’s so easy to throw out negative handwringing after a bad game or two, and disregard the prior games. This IU team is not suddenly defined by the clunker game we just played. A lot of ball to be played and so far there’s still every reason to think we’re a tournament team in DeVries’ first season. I’m optimistic. We have experienced players, shooting and a very good coach. Gotta get through the downs and expect the ups.

I'm a bit wary of this game after the last two clunkers, but based on the earlier games think DeVries will have the team ready and we'll look like the team that took care of Marquette. Wilkerson is due for big game too....

Sign him up

Or not…

Alexis is a bright spot in this game, and regularly

Anemic toddlers took offense to that

On the plus side PU is really struggling with Memphis- tied deep in the 2nd. #1 my azz

Tucker is a steadying force. Veteran leadership and composure

Had the same thought last game. The assists to made shots numbers are down reflecting what you’re seeing

Dorn is a wild card. Definitely has talent

What a tough stretch that was before they corrected after the time out. I can’t tell if it’s legs or what. Are they playing down to the comp after a bad game, or did DeVries run them ragged after ladt game and it backfired?

Man sucks to see us missing so many shots, Wilkerson and Tucker struggling tonight, does look like legs but geez.

Highlighting this comment as it's exactly what we're seeing -- a more aggressive (and faster paced) women's team that leads to fouling, at least early on. They'll improve in reducing fouls as they learn to be "more disciplined" and to play at this pace.
