Florida Atlantic looks like a fun place for fans and a good time. Even a fan in red speedos. (or something like that). Good coaching gig with a decent salary for what it is in a warm climate. Looks like Florida Atlantic team is committed to doing exactly what they want to do vs Memphis State. Defense and offense and effort has a traditional mixed with a modern style of play.

Virginia Tech going through its own situation with Kitley…tough times for both, Holmes and Kitley and respective teams. (V.T. is leaving things a little bit in gray area with Kitley trying to get best seed in tournament position possible). (IU and all teams do the same regarding injury situations). Holmes going in was more of a torn decision to make an appearance in her last big ten tournament.

It would be creative.

And for next year transfer portal help is needed. And a couple 5 star high school recruits needed thereafter. Recently, Holmes, Patberg, Berger, Parrish, all 5 stars out of high school.

Closest loss this year was at Ohio State by 5. The other losses were decisive. IU inconsistent in away games and high energy from home crowds. Michigan adjusted in this one. T.Moren regardless what she said did not have intentions to play Holmes. I think Holmes wanted to go in so she allowed her to play. In reality let Michigan worry about Iowa. IU Ladies had a very good regular season. Next season 3 is March Madness. Maybe, there’s a win or two in the tournament.

T. Moren playing planned strategy street ball toughness with guard quickness and ball handling and defense….something like Bob Knight would scheme up.

Plus at start of season T.Moren said she needed the freshman to grow up quickly to make impact. Maybe, Jules and/or Lenee could be an unknown impact (meaning some points, rebounds and solid floor game) though it would be a pleasant surprise for IU Ladies. Looks like Good News video: Lilly looks ready to go.

It is near 100% more difficult with what happened within a couple minutes of one another on Sunday. (IU at OSU was very winnable game losing by 5). Beyond Iowa as favorite; Maryland, Penn State, Michigan, and Nebraska, it’s wide open. From near 100% more difficult with Ohio State out it’s still going to be 90% more difficult. If IU plays small ball with Garzon in middle for extended period expect guards to do alot of digging. Michigan could answer with 3 ball. Extended minutes how long does it take for Garzon to get 2 fouls? Maybe, Lilly can play (T. Moren said Lilly sprain was significant). Rebounding for IU Ladies took a big hit and expect 3 point shooters to be covered due to unavailability of effectively going into Homes. Difficult for IU Ladies, again.

Does Caitlin Clark play for the Indiana Fever or Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball team next year? Is there a secret bidding war for her sevices? Heck, get a couple offensive lineman from the football team and set screens for her at the ten second line logo and let her bombs away….at least it is a plan.

Do whatever the Cheif of Staff was going to do…it’s a joke.

So they are going to play with 4 players? No. Or does Woody become player/coach? Tommy Heinsohn did the player coach gig for the Boston Celtics So tell me why Woodson needs a Chief of Staff again?

The Chief of Staff/GM was not implemented fast enough. player wants to play in a functional program and not a disfunction program. Good for him.

Why don’t they just use their smart phone?

So who is the coach? The coach or the GM/Chief of Staff?

23 minutes ago IU Ladies Basketball twitter post: Short video posted showing Parrish in full boot walking to plane…maybe it’s precautionary and what she has been doing. Does anyone know? she had big smile on her face.

Big Ten tournament hope against hope….IU will either be without one two of its top 7 players or very handicapped to theist limitations. And one is an all American. Reasonable chance to overcome those barriers/obstacles in game one. If IU Ladies get past game one…the question is beyond game one. It was going to be a tall order even at full strength.

True

People that are in influential positions and making hundreds of thousands$ usually (3 or 4 or 5 plus) to millions$ often feel they are contributing greatness to society and they are doing you justice by allowing you to breathe the same air as they do. They do not care about what you think and you should thank them for the favor/s. There way is always the righteous best way. Just ask them. Life is good.

‘Chief of Staff’ sounds like IU is on a military operation for its men’s basketball program. GM position. Get more people involved and let the money flow for someone who is to join the Elite Status Club. Life is good.

And Pam Whitten deserves zero blame for whatever is going on. Exempt. She is highly visible in supporting IU athletics. Love seeing her out and about in her lane.

Before season began I posted on one of the threads (not sure which one) that IU men’s basketball would finish in the middle of the conference pack and win a game or two in big ten tournament and March Madness tournament. The ceiling would be sweet sixteen remaining team in March Madness tournament. Does IU men make March Madness via winning remaining games and Big Ten tournament wins as getting into championship game? Or NIT? Any kind of success gets NIT bid. That is what I expected.

Erase Erase Erase Erase Erase…..Life is good and throwing another Woody in the fireplace.

Life is Good and make lots of money. Put a little woody in the fireplace.

T. Moren keeping focused and keeping it together regarding things that are gnawing at her. This year there is a lot more specific information regarding injury issues than last year. Definitely barriers. Last year was a great year that ended in a Big Ten tournament and March Madness downer. This year IU Ladies looking for Big Ten Tournament and March Madness Uppers.
