T. Moren show was a full hour with Austin Render. Always interesting to hear T. Moren talk about her philosophy and the way things are done. Not done recruiting for 25-26. Spoke to her responsibility to protecting the locker room while recruiting transfer portal keeping a high character and integrity program and culture. The appreciation given to the fans that make up the Assembly Hall atmosphere are also appreciated by opponents. T. Moren knows there are two big challenges ahead. Fun listening to some of her terminology in describing basketball. One phrase when talking about defense is “ the meet and greet” to guard a player. Noted still working on defense emphasis on the 5 position. T. Moren challenging Garzon to be more consistent each game at high level. And she is mad about rebounding as IU Ladies have lost that battle last 4 games. Also noted call from Glen Box as she is letting team get out and run more (she felt she held them back some earlier). She likes having former players on staff noting Patberg is a basketball nut. Holmes working with Faith (upside) as well as Strip and Lilly. Emphasis on player development with examples Chloe and Holmes did not walk into IU as all American….It was hard work. Also T. Moren stated that Lenee Beaumont injury was a huge loss for IU Ladies because she had an excellent summer and now IU Ladies don’t have the team that they thought they had.

Very solid and done with high character and integrity.

Fish gives IU Ladies kudos on Jake Query show this morning. Though incorrectly saying IU Ladies knocked off 13th ranked Iowa at Iowa. (23rd ranked). Fish stated Woodson show has not been weekly this year. Then, Fish stated IU Ladies deserve much accolades as they have a really good roster and Teri Moren does a phenomenal job. Tune into Inside Indiana 6:55pm with Teri Moren Monday evening January 13, 2025. (7:05pm per Fish). *tune in a couple minutes early. Little bit confused: Hoosier TV shows T.Moren on tv channel at 6:55 and 7:05. Also lists audio for inside men’s basketball at 7:05. CAN’T COACH WOODSON DO ANYTHING RIGHT? I plan to tune into B 97 at 6:30pm and Hoosier tv channel…and listen to music for a half hour if nothing else and catch T.Moren show when it starts.

IU had some really pretty stretches in this game and then managed to win maturely ugly. A great weekend for IU basketball because the IU men don’t count. T. Moren keeps saying her team is a really good team with great potential.

Iowa Ladies overrated at 23.

IU Ladies doing their best to give it away that all started with Garzon what would have been her 6th 3 did not count. IU Ladies to tempermental.

Sidenote: per announcers the Iowa Ladies freshman were/are the 9th ranked recruiting class in the country.

Careless to close out half. I expect better scoring from Iowa second half. The question is how efficiently will IU Ladies score?

Ballard GM of the Colts and coach Woodson are like two peas in a pod. (There are many examples)

An lU Ladies win would make for a great IU basketball weekend.

After making Fish wait post game: comments from coach and of course Fish does his best to help him out and make it short.

Blow out losses are occurring with greater frequency and intensity.

IU players do not even look like basketball players

These IU guys need a pay raise.

Didn’t want to spend all $6,000,000 on one player…even then player would come to Indiana and no longer be a lights out 3 point shooter.

Dumbest comment of the night: TV commentator says this is danger time for Indiana when IU is down 22.

Iowa is just going to continue to keep their pressure both offensively and defensively up at their pace and out of shape IU will continue to crack mentally and physically.

Coach at half: well, if that last beyond half court heave goes in at the end of the half we would be 3 points closer. Man, that was a tough break.

Outdated 6,000,000 dollar man (hefty coaches salaries) buys a 6,000,000 dollar team. I suppose that doesn’t buy much. Iowa will keep this pressure at their pace up and IU will crack mentally and out of shape.

Indiana football 11 wins and 2 losses to the 2 teams in the National Championship game.

Woodson didn’t even want to coach when IU hired him in terms of love and passion and drive and ability. Sure he wanted to be in a status position joining the club taking all that was is given to him that goes with such a job. Great player but not a coach nor a leader nor a competent representative for a major college basketball program like IU.

Request that $6,000,000 NIL money be transferred from men’s basketball program into women basketball program to purchase an athletic 6’7” scoring machine along with some other stuff. Amend title 9
