TTT

Bargesser thru 4 games 17.3 points per game at 56.9 % fg, 75% ft, 3.0 assists, and 3.8 rebounds for 29.5 minutes per game. Alot of work over the summer.

IU Ladies 13 turnovers on the road. Z 6 OBs and FSU 6’ 6” center 5 OBs and Colsten Thompson an enthusiastic post game….no wonder players are drawn to and inspired by him.

Good road win.

Florida State 2 of 13 on 3 ball

IU Ladies win foul total 28 FSU Ladies 18 and win game Nice drawn up play.

Florida State beat Georgia Southern by only 8…. and of course got smoked by UCCON.

Typical college Lady basketball refs. In this case need to understand rule change Defender one-hand touches that are not repetitive and don’t impede offensive player. Caffey called for a couple fouls on this.

Vegas had over and under regular season wins for IU at 8.5….I think. OSU, ORE, Penn State were all 10.5.

Florida State playing without a 17.5 point per game scorer.

NO JINX HERE. I called it July 10, 2025 forecast: 12-0. I am calling it now, November 28, 2025 Black Friday: 12-0

KY Ladies 76 Marshall 44 This is the type of game that IU Ladies just might win.

Michigan Ladies 93. Notre Dame 54

11-0

Call this one for IU

O’boy, O’boy, O’boy, O’boy….or should I say O’ girl, O’girl, O’girl, O’girl. Pondering: does Purdue win streak stay alive this season? Pondering again: when does Makalusky make a not a couple but a few shots? (Get her in mindset she is going to play, rebound and play her more minutes) (physical contact and roughing up a little in game to get her better acclimated/comfortable).

A…WOOO…….Roar to 11-0!

Top 50. Then top 10. Then top 5.

Makalusky…13 minutes; 2 offensive rebounds and one defensive rebound = 3 rebounds. Doesn’t sound like much but play her more minutes now = see if confidence will grow and shooting % will improve. It would give another taller player. Increase playing time to 26 minutes and from there after 4 or 5 games. Makalusky is going to end up as a starter somewhere down the road anyway.

Like a 1940s-1950s scoreboard. So do IU Ladies lose by 30 vs Florida State or is this a secret strategy vs Florida State on Sunday. UCONN lopsided win vs Florida State as would be expected. Florida State has a couple lopsided wins vs lesser competition. Transfer from Maryland/Allie Kubek Maryland transfer now playing for FSU. Maybe, T. Moren could tell Makalusky and team to have Makalusky to shoot the 3 ball 5 times in a row on offense. She has shot a couple. Surely she can hit one.

Yes, excellent addition of players and coaches in IU Ladies basketball program. I agree class rankings are similar to a misleading weather forecast. For one thing some of the classes in top elite programs who may have only one or two recruits listed because their respective programs are already loaded are ranked behind IU Ladies class. Plus a few programs are still in play for the few top players remaining. However, things are better along with probably 15 to 20 other major programs in major conferences. Overall, things are tougher than what they were just a few years ago.

Makalusky it’s time for her to score in double figures and rebound near a double double. Challenge is her current performance/ability playing time and matchup because Marshall is mainly 6’ and under.

Marshall starters: 6’ 5’10” 5’10” 5’8” 5’6”….. they do have a 6’3” scored 2 points last game playing a few minutes. Marshall wins over Northern KY and Buffalo. Louisville had lopsided win vs Northern KY. KY had lopsided win over Buffalo.

Good for IU to have a basketball guy for a coach that knows….and T.D. just simply carrying over what he did at Drake to IU….and coach D.D. and son knows how to make it work. Excellent win.

A blade or two of grass.

The point spread line wow! IU. 38 Wisky. 3
