With an 0-10 start in the BigTen, who would have thought it even possible? Soft schedule at the end had something to do with it, but it's been an a while since an IU women's team took the floor and destroyed a Big10 opponent like they did yesterday. What a great game plan, and what great execution by the team. I was extremely happy with the IU crowd. They were really into it.

I went to the game. Crowd wasn't nearly big enough to suit me, but the enthusiasm today was TOP NOTCH!. Felt like there were about twice as many people yelling loudly as compared to what my eyes saw. Outstanding way to finish the regular season, now let's go far in the tournament (maybe TWO tournaments!)

27-13 quarter pretty well took care of it! What an absolutely CRAZY game!

I attended the game, and the game was without question the worst officiating job I have seen in quite some time. Shay was absolutely mugged time and time again. It was WWE out there. The "and one" fiasco was a complete mess. Pretty sure Jeremy Grey said "and one," the girl then missed her and one, Ducks get the rebound, and the refs suddenly stopped the play? Did they think it was a two shot foul? What did the TV announcers have to say about it? Was crazy at the game. IU women had a great game in my opinion. Missed several excellent opportunities to quit. Shay willed us to victory, and Beau made a HUGE 3 that really sealed the deal in my mind. And the out of bounds "defense" by Oregon was without question the worst handling of an inbounding play I have ever seen. I could have made that layup! :) Anyway, onward and upward! Would be difficult to lose our way out of the big10 tournament, and we should be eligible for the WNIT. Which I look forward to.

Purdue recently gave Katie Gearlds a long-term contract. Made no sense to me at the time given the last few years Purdue has endured. https://purduesports.com/news/2024/09/24/gearlds-extended-through-2028-29

This is an example of why I take the time to sync the radio with TV broadcasts. Takes some effort, but worth it.

It is amazing to me, as good as UCLA is, they appear to have a LOT of empty seats today. Hard to understand.

Agree. Disheartening. IU played so well, all things considered, against USC. This game was painful. Need the week off, that's for sure. Will be interesting to see if this game has any consequence in future games.

I second almost every word of that. BUT I think the refs DID cost us. I'm a fan after all. :)

Where is the guy who doesn't think Makalusky is any good? She just made a 4 point play to get IU back within 3.

Sad part is IU did its best and the score may not reveal it.

Review that.

20 IU fouls 13 USC fouls 'nuff said

Fight and heart like I haven't seen all season long from the IU ladies.

4 Hoosiers have 2 fouls. And we're short on bodies. :(

Davidson is a killer. Blocking foul? Wow........

I wonder. Shay is out, and it looks to me like every other IU player is playing harder than usual. Great hustle, great rebounding. It may be my imagination, but it sure looks that way to me.

Media time out finally happened.

Without question, the best quarter of basketball the women have played all season! Beaumont had five points.

16-8 Hoosiers. Flat getting a bad whistle. They're in bonus (6 IU fouls) and USC has 2 fouls.

Foul trouble early. But somehow IU is ahead and even broke their press!

Thanks so much for the clarification. Makes perfect sense. Still don't quite understand why the IUWBB website tells us so little about her.

Why is Zoe Jackson redshirting? The IU Women's Basketball Roster website has absolutely no information regarding her. I know nothing :)

Wisky was 11-1 at home before last night. They're 11-2 now. :) You guys may not agree, but I would be happy to see the IU women work their way into an NIT bid. Good enough for Coach Knight, good enough for me.
