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.

If this site crashes tonight... :)

Time to get back to blowing out the lesser competition. The team whiffed in a bad way last game, tend to think they'll bring it this game.

IU - 101 LindenWoodson - 63

^^ On to OT

68-68 with 17 seconds

There was progress though Noyan 4-5 for 8 and 6 boards 2 TO’s 2 fouls in 18 min Maya 3-3 for 7 and 3 boards, 4 fouls (but none down stretch) in 16 min Stotjin 25 min run 4 assists but 4 TO’s 3 fouls, missed her shots but took 5, she’ll hit better as a group 16 boards, 6 assists that’s definitely progress

I’d like to more ball movement- 12 assists on 42 made baskets so far

Man Lenee is looking good

1 point game bout a min left in 1st

Maya has to learn to avoid fouls at pace

Noyan having a nice game too

The fouls come with the team’s more aggressive play and faster pace. They will start to go down as the season continues
