    Live in northern Indiana, Lansing isn’t much farther than Bloomington for me. Scored a half court row 1 seat for $25. Going to feel like spike lee lol

    IUWBB vs #8 O$U - Thursday, 02.20.25 @ 7:00 on Peacock

    Great win. They will be somewhere from a 7-11 seed in the tournament. When they are playing like they can I sure wouldn’t want to draw them early. Wish they’d started Striplin and limited meister minutes all season that’s such an upgrade. How does the Ohio state coach keep his job? He must play the weakest schedule available non conference. I don’t know how many layups we got off his press but he rarely moves from it and always gets them destroyed in the tournament

    IUWBB vs Nebraska - Sunday, 02.02.25 @ Noon on FS1

    Was a fun game to watch. Is it just me or does beetlejuice ref almost everyone of our games? She was a lot better than usual today on the whistle. I questioned a few of the calls lex Luthor was making but one of the better officiated games I’ve seen in assembly hall in a while

    It’s ridiculous. I thought I was done with having to have it last month. I don’t mind doing peacock on the back Friday deal and getting it for 20 bucks. There’s a lot of stuff and games it’s worth it. Big ten plus is garbage and a month of it costs almost as much of a year of peacock

    I just don’t know. Would love to call it a rebuilding year but when you don’t even have 1 top 50 recruit coming and your past 2 years of recruits aren’t good enough to get meaningful minutes, where is the rebuilding coming from?

    Iowas been so bad lately I don’t know if they get in. I don’t know what to think to be honest. The lack of recruiting continues to rear its head. Maybe Beaumont could have been the savior? Or maybe she’s as non impactful as the rest that have been recruited. Losing 3 5th year starters. Meister isn’t magically going to get better, that’s a step down from striplin. Wiseman is apparently so bad she can’t even get on the floor behind 2 role players. The European girl #15 in her extreme rare minutes appears maybe she can play? Lemondola can take a charge and that’s about all. Complete deer in headlights. Bargessar is alright she does some good things. Moren is going to either have to figure out how to recruit some top talent, get the nil money going, or dig deep in the portal because the interest and support they get now will disappear as fast as it appeared. And it’s sad because the games are fun to go and up until this point I’ve been surprised attendance isn’t better and it’s pretty great for women’s.

    Terrible game. Both sides. Oregon tried and begged us to win and we still give it away. Frustrating. Getting really close to probably not making the tournament. The lack of adjustment uggghhh. We have to lead the country in scoreless droughts. The offense is just horrible at times. It’s like we run the same dead play over and over and over they hand the ball off more than a bear bryant team.

    IUWBB @ Oregon - Friday, 01.24.25 @ 9:00 ET on B1G+

    Yeah but when you can’t catch the ball, make a shot, or complete a pass I think I’d try someone else. They just completely blew this game.

    It’s like they spent the week watching film of the men’s team gosh. Tonight’s not Garzons night at all I wish Teri would try someone else. Huge drop off when meister in is in the game.

    IUWBB @ Oregon - Friday, 01.24.25 @ 9:00 ET on B1G+

    I’m baffled at why there’s never any action for her to shoot 3s anymore, ever. That is all she did at penn state and among the big ten leaders. Garzon isn’t into this game at all, so hot and cold game to game. This team needs about a month straight of wet ball drills just so careless with passes and catching. Hope they can hang on it would be a needed win

    IUWBB vs #4 USC - Sunday, 01.19.25 @ Noon on NBC-TV

    Amazing effort again. Would have been better to run out the clock at the end of the third up one rather than leave a few precious seconds to allow that Watkins buzzer 3. Changed the momentum. Was really glad to see striplin in the starting lineup. Move should have been made to start the year. Gave Watkins all she wanted to handle. Refs not very good, but better than the last few home games, which isn’t saying a lot. Parish and yardens legs seem to fail them at the end of games start becoming short on good looks. Really wish we would utilize Shay more. She barely shoots 3s anymore and in the past was among big ten leaders in volume and percentage. I think she can be a poor man’s version of Hidalgo but isn’t really given the chance. If we played like this every game we wouldn’t lose many.
  13. I believe Iowa was 15/30 from the free throw line or something and lost by 2 and Nebraska is 14-4. The big ten is very deep this year. Outside of a very few I think everyone is going to have their share of conference losses.
  14. Thought when they get it within 4 they were going to get it done. This was a trap game after a big road win and usc on the horizon. Zero favors with whistles and sitting from row 3 many bad calls. A poor first 15 minutes were too much to overcome. I like many would like to see striplin start. And it’s too bad the Kokomo native Bostic is at Illinois. I expect the usc game to be closer than people think.

    IU vs #1 UCLA: Noon 1/4/25 Fox

    If it was the Stanford last year that we got blitzed by 30 or whatever I disagree. 100%. To me this was a little like that South Carolina sweet 16 game. We kept it close and chipped. But the refs today were a lot worse today and we didn’t shoot near as well. The media for women’s basketball is bad, and Indiana has had a strong horse to toke up some hype and still don’t it on the media side of it. Wouldn’t be very hard to have a few students in the curriculum try to create an online prescience with articles and things like that maybe it would help with recruiting.

    IU vs #1 UCLA: Noon 1/4/25 Fox

    Much more effort than vs. Unc. Officiating is perhaps some of the worst I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of women’s ball so that says a lot. The ucla big can’t shoot free throws and she doesn’t guard past the free throw line. Need to go 5 guard lineup and take advantage of the easy top of the key looks and then employ hack a Shaq on the other end

    IUWBB @ Penn State - Saturday, 12.07.24 @ 1:00 on B1G+

    Striplin is better than Meister. She’s stronger, more athletic, more skilled. Why doesn’t she start, and also why has there not been one point this year where Striplin and meister play at the same time? The rotation does not need to be so rigid. Why don’t any of the newcomers ever get a chance to touch the floor? I can’t imagine wiseman being ranked 93 being so bad she can’t crack a lineup over sandvik who doesn’t even attract a defender within 15 feet. Currie-Jenks score 16 a game as freshman at a mid major, we’ve had trouble with mid majors, can’t get 10 seconds of playing time. Lemondola looks the part and is completely terrified of making a decision when she gets the ball and is as prone to tossing up an air ball or turnover as she is making a play.

    IUWBB @ Penn State - Saturday, 12.07.24 @ 1:00 on B1G+

    How open does meister need to be they aren’t within 5 feet of her from 18 feet out. She can make that.

    IUWBB @ Penn State - Saturday, 12.07.24 @ 1:00 on B1G+

    The other bench players cannot possibly be worse than sandvik. 100% invisible offensively it’s like 4 on 5. Striplin making some buckets today. Actually doing decent job of breaking the press as well

    IUBB vs Miami (OH) - Friday, 12.06.24 @ 7:00 on BTN

    Results excluded, this is the most talented overall Indiana team in a very long time. The coaching holds it back. They can spend 2 minutes looking like a top 10 contender and the next 2 as confused as an Amish electrician. Goes back to coaching. If he can get the right players on the floor they will be able to at least make the tournament. This will be unpopular here but please send Galloway down the road. He’s in his 19th year, all he mostly does is throw it away. The opposing team openly said they weren’t going to guard him if he had the ball, he did make a few shots but that’s rare going into to his 20th season that he can make anything. goode should start, ballo shouldn’t be bringing the ball up, and a lot of the defensive trouble happened when they drew ballo beyond free throw line extended and he should never be there.

    IUWBB @ Butler - Wednesday, 11.13.24 @ 7:00

    You’re correct. I’ve watched and enjoyed this team for years and have bought season tickets but I’d be lying if I didn’t think the squad they had with Berger Holmes gulbe cardano Hillary should have done much more. The year they had Holmes and Berger with Scalia who came off the bench and got beat in the 2nd round at home by Miami. Last year they did battle but still could never handle a press. Moren made the program relevant but can’t recruit or don’t give those she does bring in the chances to play and grow. We’ve moved past her, it’s time to go the route of the football program and bring in a coach. Watching this team this year it just shows me that we’ve left a lot on the table the past years because there isn’t any coaching

    IUWBB - News and Notes

    With the way she recruits we are in trouble. It’s extremely disappointing I’ve followed this team went to games bought all the streaming things. She cannot recruit at all. Or refuses to, and her scheme is awful. She got lucky with a few players.
