TTT

I thought Ohio State made Michigan look not to good. I think Ohio State can shift into a higher gear and will win by a td and a half and cover point spread of about 5.5. BUT HOWEVER IU 31 Ohio State 24

It wasn’t a 30 point blowout but in games like this 50% plus needed on 3 ball. 8 for 25 was aided with game determined and not anything to think about accept shoot the ball without as much pressure.

Shay made one three late in 3rd or in 4th I think. IU Ladies defense not going to hold Iowa State..

Being generous Z may have put IU Ladies 5 points closer. More likely would have picked up a couple early fouls and spent most of her time on the bench anyway or the alternative would have been letting Crooks score at will playing as many minutes as needed. That’s why Iowa State is ranked number ten and it takes a top 10 team to beat them. IU Ladies are going to play several ranked teams in big ten.

Things seem to be coming a little easier for Iowa State assisted by a 20% 3 point shooting player that is 2 for 3 on 3 ball. Ciezki needs to out score Crooks which she is doing and Beaumont needs to out score Iowa State 2nd high scorer. And then rest of IU Ladies play even with Iowa State.

Ohio State can look not so good sometimes but has talent to shift into a physical higher overall gear this year and throughout their football history. I think because of attack, and team speed pursuit to the ball on defense with indoor game assists IU (Both, OSU and Michigan during their history get bottled up sometimes especially the older format bowl games…though this was years ago) but IU defensive pursuit to the ball is noticeable this year when it’s clicking….but defense has to limit big downfield pass plays. Then, Mendoza cannot play like he did vs Purdue passing. He needs to have a better game than OSU qb. Maybe, cold weather affected F. M. (terrible passes that OSU will pick off) and indoor stadium will be better. And IU running game continues to improve overall to in the category of borderline eliteness. Turnover/s favorable to IU.

Iowa has two players questionable and Rodriguez out today vs Fairfield. Florida State had leading scorer out vs IU. There are a few teams that can absorb losses to key players. Just need high excellent depth at every position to be a top team.

Guards collapsing and digging on Crooks averages 24 minutes per game (maybe due to blowout wins) and 25 points as Iowa State players average 25 or 26 minutes per game.….IU Ladies whole team will probably be in foul trouble….kick outs for Iowa State 3 ball….run Crooks up and down floor….IU Ladies 3 ball need to keep pace and high fg %….Does Crooks ever get into foul trouble at 24 minutes? Iowa State has more than just Crooks…. And IU Ladies are going to face this caliber of team often in the big ten through out the season.

I U vs Purdue and football season 2025 Just crashed the INTERNET WEBSITE. and IU football season 2024 2025 IU 56 Purdue. 3 2024 IU. 66 Purdue. 0

Regular Season 12-0 One of the greatest college coaching, player, and program achievements of all time. (2024 and 2025)

To answer your question….It’s actually a focus on this particular IU Ladies team. They will be a different team in a positive way once M&M averages a near double-double (8 to 10 points and 6 or 7+ rebounds) per game that she is capable of doing in the not to distant future as a freshman.

Unless IU Ladies win this game this would be a horrible loss equal to pre big ten season losses of last year. Get Makalusky to rebound and hit a couple shots…more aggressive without fouling….but not overly concerned about her fouling.

Iowa has some good wins thus far. Neither, Baylor nor Iowa looked that good when playing each other but both are highly ranked.

Z and Noyan and guards digging and whoever else will give Crooks much attention…see how the fouls go if it is a matchup.

For Makalusky it is now a head game. Her shots spinning out. Just lost and frustrated . What she did today shows that. The good news it’s correctable even during freshman season and she will get stronger as time goes on during her career.

Florida State was playing without their leading scorer at 17.5 ppg. (I agree FSU was solid win).

Though she may be slower than Larry Bird Makalusky is going to have to be a role player rebounding and scoring a few points playing situational 12-15 minutes a game by January.

IU LADIES 6-0 playing a Mickey Mouse schedule thus far….may or may not get to play # 10 Iowa State. who has also played a Mickey Mouse schedule.

And cold Friday night lights!

6’0” Guard 21.5 points per game. 5.6 rebounds. 4.3 assists. 3.7 steals. As a freshman. McCutcheon 21-5 overall with 8-0 conference record. Throw her in the mix for IU Ladies Basketball future. 2027 will be here as time flies by.

First half Ohio State looks very average but over the years how many times do they look so average but are so difficult to beat….And if they are losing or in a close game they almost always can shift into a higher gear (from their ability, size strength and speed) to pull out a win or win going away. Which leads to the question…. IU not always even close to perfect but overall has played close to their ability or even overachieved sometimes during the season… when OSU tries to shift into a higher gear can IU match it in a head to head matchup? (Ohio State among a few others have that gear)…..However, IU is currently demonstrating this as well.

Dumb play of the day goes to Rutger’s DL lineman.

Cold. IU 45 Purdue 10

Bargesser 17 points again 3 for 3 fts vs Oregon State.
