TTT

@ Ohio State beats MSU down 18! in a tough one. MSU got it down to 1 and had a couple chances to take the lead. losing by 6 at the end.

Woodson is ok and I like him. The reality is not known on how much IU in terms of wins, losses, and championships will be….even in comparison to previous coaches. I am not sold or unsold. More of just in waiting.

Takes 33 pages to say last night IU men’s basketball is not as good nor as well coached as Arizona men’s basketball.

T. Moren has often committed on C. M-M development and work. Chloe is a class act and her short comments say it very well regarding IU Lady offense.

I agree. I also think she is being taught to be some other things (facilitator) and being the answer to N.C. Hillary Defender type player. This may affect her confidence or concentration on 3 ball which I think her shooting will come back as well. All this will pay off in 2023.

Parrish is going to get better and better…good for IU Ladies to see her score and do things that a player like her can do. Get Scalia to up her scoring % especially on 3 ball. Lot’s of upside to this team that will be needed in January and February and March…April???

I agree they are quality wins. And big ten wins are always quality wins, especially road wins.

A couple games that should be dominant wins followed by a really needed break will be a big positive for this team.

I agree 100% with you.

Neither, Penn State nor Illinois is that good. About as good as Purdue in the lower part of middle of the big ten.

Just a matter of time maybe sooner than later.

It was good for IU Ladies while it lasted. Regardless, if IU Ladies win this game or not they are a top 25 team…Mentally, physically tired and lacking. Penn State and Illinois are no Ohio State or Iowa. Weaknesses showing. The really true top teams don’t play like this.

IU football has made significant strides over the years. 1893 football 1 win 4 losses and 1 tie IU 54 Opponents 184 including win over Danville Athletic Club 18-0. Things were kept in a little more perspective back then regarding football and sports.

And Bargesser will play some.

Now, off the bench at guard, it’s Henna S. to the rescue for solid minutes.

K.P. in transfer portal.

Against Illinois Indiana got off to a solid first quarter start. Then, Illinois pretty much controlled game or at least Indiana wasn’t in control. Illinois got a little physical (not as much as Ohio State will be) and well spaced shooting. There 30 point plus performance guard had the ball in her hands mostly and set IU defender (mostly Chloe) up the whole game with quickness. Guarding her was ineffective because after playing sound defense on her she would penetrate and create or stop instantly with a quick mid range shot she made time after time. Illinois got to many second chance shots). On offense IU Ladies we’re definitely looking to go inside and Illinois was effective taking away 3 pointer. IU Ladies looked a little unsure and hesitant in passing and shooting including 3 ball Scalia was passive until later in game. Then, she drove the bucket a couple times. Yes, IU Ladies missed on several layups and close shots. Notable: Really missed loss of Berger how she makes everyone around her better, her rebounding, (Parrish does a really good job and often plays with Grace Berger at same time) which makes both them rebounders, facilitation of game, and really missed Berger’s mid range shot. IU Ladies have basically an All American not able to play. Having said this Parrish may be able to eventually (next year maybe later this year) rise close to an all big ten/all American type status. Also Yardon did not have a good game and was just taken out of game and had foul problems. IU Ladies are going to run into a lot of tough games. The target is on their back and they better get use to it. (as T. Moren has stated). Also Chloe is on a learning curve at point guard because of G.B. absence. (as T. Moren has said). This is a big negative. (as I say) though Chloe is doing a good job. Grace an all American type player is hard to replace. IU Ladies by 15 to 20 to 25 vs Penn State. Maybe, they can get some of the issues worked out from Illinois game. Also, no in your grill defender like N.C. Hillary. Hannah S. looks solid.

I haven’t seen them play but Penn State Ladies basketball looks pretty good (good as Illinois) from schedule, wins and losses.

TCU vs George Washington Ladies basketball hair pull accidentally??? Punches thrown (looked like L. James and whoever). That type of behavior could create big time wrestling level spectator interest surpassing men’s sports. However, currently I like the integrity of Ladies college basketball.

Need to play like it at Penn State…Also it would be fun to watch both, Parrish and Scalia to have big go off game simultaneously.

T. A. and his contract people did a great job, a beautiful job of taking care of him. It was a wonderful time for T. A. paired with an unknowing gullible administration of what they were doing in terms of a football head coach that was starved and desperate for a winning football program. Plus it brought them favor and security a few more years). It happens a lot in many places with no accountability. Sure there are job changes after damage is already done and financial security is gained and those in charge…charge into another endeavor. Is it going to be much different with whoever is next??? There are many many reasons IU football is a loser. (Even weak teams (not counting Cincinnati or the better teams) non conference games scheduled are often competitive for IU. The winning coach Mallory had more losses than wins. For every winner there is a loser. And in football maybe for IU the best hope is a Tie. Yes, IU is a washing machine (pick the brand) and those loads of laundry are expensive.

My A game probably 25% or less. I am not really trying to be a champion of anything.

Got off track and missed it. IU Ladies are getting on thin ice in injury department. Holmes last year and Berger this year. 14 player roster already down to 10.

Yes they are better but if you’re talking big ten championship or a top 5 finish. IU Ladies have to play better. Illinois is much better but not that good. Purdue is much better as well.
