Nebraska folks say Petrie was a better power forward than center. That's too bad. Ondineme hasn't found a home yet. I think we could use her next year.

Current grade of incoming freshman "straight A." I'm old school, hope we can build rosters that way.

Good get I'd say. Sounds like she will be fun to watch. Every good team has a bulldog.

Another good guard. I'd say we're all set on those! Now about a second string center ! :{

I am not saying we have to get another "starting center." But don't we have to get SOMEBODY to be a decent backup center? I am hoping 6'4" Fenn can play center. I honestly don't know. We're pretty short at the moment. At least I think we are? You all pay way more attention to the incoming freshmen than I do. Are any of them capable of playing center in the Big10?

The Nebraska fans seem to think they got the best deal on this trade. They like Noyan's rebounding. Petrie had a really good game when we played Nebraska. They were really good at the time. Ranked in top 25. By the time they played IU in the tourney, they were a Big10 #12 seed and Petrie did not start. Maybe that's why she's here, who knows? I'm not so sure she will start. We need a second true center I would think.

I vote "b." Never understand big buyouts.

Somebody is going to have to explain to me what Purdue is thinking.

They won four games in the WNIT, so they're not horrible. Overall record was 24-14. Hope Chloe gets to play a LOT. Now, come on somebody, get Faith Wiseman.

Austin will get hired somewhere. Butler is simply in the wrong conference.

When Virginia fired her Coach (Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, who was a good assistant coach here under Coach Jack), Kymora Johnsonentered the portal. "Johnson was named an All-America Honorable Mention by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), the association announced Thursday (April 2). Johnson averaged 22 points, 5.7 assists and 6.2 rebounds in four NCAA tournament games to guide Virginia to its first Sweet Sixteen appearance in 26 years as Virginia became the first team in history to reach the Sweet Sixteen after playing in the First Four. For the season, Johnson was one of three players in NCAA Division I to average at least 19 points and 5.5 assists along with Olivia Miles (TCU) and Liv McGill (Florida). Her 19.5 points per game led the team and ranked second in the ACC. She paced the Cavaliers in 24 games this season including 12 against ACC opponents. She set a single-game program record with 10 three-pointers against Winthrop and went on to set the program’s single-season (103) and career (231) 3-point records as well. Her 41 points against Winthrop also marked the second-highest single-game total in program history and her career total of 1,725 points ranks ninth in program history."

"Coach Mox" was an assistant along with Katie Abram-Henderson under Coach Jack here at IU. All three went on to have great success. Katie got the axe after after Georgia finished 22-10 this season, with an 82-73 overtime loss to Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Mox got into the sweet 16 last year and was fired this year. Coach Jack made the sweet 16 just a while back at Syracuse and hasn't been fired since getting canned here at IU. I simply don't understand the hair trigger used by today's athletic directors to fire good coaches. Katie and Mox are GOOD coaches. Coach Jack found her footing after leaving here.

I don't quite understand this one. Alisa started 2 games, 11.9 minutes per game, 4.8 points per game, 3.3 rebounds per game, .6 assists and .6 turnovers per game. 53.9 field goal percentage, no 3s made all season. We lost 2 good starters of our returning 4 to the portal. Hopefully the fantastic freshmen recruits and a few really good transfers can get us back in the hunt. For sure need Z to come back healthy.

WAY too many NCAA basketball players think they are undervalued at their current schools. About half of the players in the portal will NOT land elsewhere. Agents, family, and friends don't do the players any favors when they badmouth their current situation. Portal isn't open and kids already know their next school. Unbelievable.

I am rapidly losing interest and hope for women's college basketball in general, and IU in particular. I heard Caffey on a radio show. She was either lying through her teeth then, a sharp agent has gotten a hold of her lately, or her so-called friends have convinced her now she can do better somewhere else. On another note, Lilly Meister and Kansas just lost in the semi-final of the WBIT. Lilly had 12 points and 9 rebounds. But I suspect Lilly had fun playing for Kansas this year.
