IUWBB @ Rutgers Game Thread - Wed. - 7:00 ET

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Men are struggling; women are struggling; when's baseball season start?

Indiana (15-8, 5-5 B1G) at Rutgers (6-17, 3-7 B1G).   At this point every game has become a must win for the Lady Hoosiers.  They've had some hot shooting road games and hopefully they'll have one tonight.  Indiana RPI = 52; Rutgers RPI = 189.

The trip didn't start well last night from Bloomington as a wheel of the plane got off the runway and got stuck in the grass.

They had to fly into LaGuardia in NYC and take a bus (not a Tyra Buss) to Rutgers which has to be the most butt ugly college campus I have ever had the misfortune to visit.

End of the 1st; Rutgers leads 17-11.   Shooting woes continue hitting only 4-15 from the field vs. 8-14 for Rutgers.

Halftime it's Rugers 29 - 27.  IU shooting has improved to 39% for the game.  Cahill 9 pts., Gulley 6; and 4 each for Buss, Gassion & Anderson.  Cahill, Gassion and Anderson each with 3 reb.

End of 3rd and we've taken the lead 46-39.  Cahill with 20 pts. and 7 reb.  Our overall shooting has improved but our 3-pt. shooting is only 4-13.  Good job on the boards thus far.

I feel like I'm Amish and being shunned tonight!   

Lady Hoosiers got the job done and will return home with an important win by the score of 63-52.   Great game by Cahill with 22 pts. and 7 reb.  Buss 17 pts. and 9 assists.  Anderson 10 pts., Gassion 6 pts. and 6 from Gulley off the bench.  Anderson and Gassion with 5 reb. each.  For the game 43.4% from the field but only 25% on 3's.  They held their own on the boards and only committed 12 TO's to 17 by Rutgers.  Ladies return home to take on Northwestern on Saturday at noon.
