TTT

IU defense pursuit to the ball, physical 50/50balls, getting 2 turnovers, running game-passing game combinations, catch me if you can = IU covers the point spread by a lot. Betting opened @ +7.5 IU has moved Jan 12 to +8.5.

2025: Regular Season 12-0 and Big Ten Conference Championship 13-0. 2026: College Playoff 3-0 and National Championship 2025-2026: 16-0 PROVE THAT WRONG.

Makalusky is going to be a key IU Lady piece of the future puzzle.

Nyemchek, Battle, and Jackson as freshman (they are good but not that good) will get bullied in big ten level without a couple bigger time impact players from transfer portal to compliment what is already on IU Ladies roster including keeping key players already on roster.

Out of gas lacking team stamina second half. Last year excuse was Beaumont loss that was in the plans. At big ten level Beaumont is ok but lacks physicality and strength to be a go to type player consistently.

Maybe, M&M needs to stand straight up and down, breathe so slightly, and not move at all. She is getting picked on by refs like Parrish often did. What do refs have against IU Ladies from Fishers?

IU Ladies need to have Z stay on the floor and be injury free….along with her teammates at end of game.

Not much to look forward to but maybe a win on January 25….IU vs Purdue Ladies win streak of 13 consecutive wins to continue to 14 in jeopardy.

Plus assistant coach development.

Building more self sufficient more self reliant team philosophy; develop player leadership because players are involved in timeouts as well, coaches carry over practice responsibilities into games…. Assume coaches do this on a continuum meaning to some head coaches do this minimally and maybe some hardly at all…to some head coaches do it a lot. It seems there would be some variables involved…..though I have observed this in her coaching in past years almost since beginning at IU, actually,

Point spread listed as NA….keeps going back to 2025 at +5.5 IU Ladies

Last 3 games. Had to use calculator. IU. 107 Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon. 35

IU 52 Miami. 17 Hoping the predicted IU score is not to low.

Coach may have to go to Smile training school.

Not quite 73. Nevertheless on the way to the National Championship Game.

IU living right. Once again I didn’t predict enough points for IU. Smile coach….nough.

Halftime 35-7….halfway there And line dropped to 3.5 before game

IU pounding the ball in run game second half. Oregon wearing down. Cig doing his best not to smile. And I once again I DID NOT PREDICT ENOUGH POINTS FOR IU.

Yes. At halftime there will be a duck laid across a tree stump with Cig holding an axe telling his team to chop their head off second half.

In defense of the D they have scored 7 thus far and now the romp is on.

IU is going to have a great evening running the ball.

Cignetti Economic Boom Effect….every bar, tavern, pub, restaurant eating establishment with tvs packed across the state of Indiana.

Bet on IU to cover the point spread, take the under and make some money.

Sighting in Atlanta eating peaches.
