WOW!

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Hoosiers win 73-71! Buss with a layup with 3 seconds left! We host Chattanooga on Monday.

Helluva game!  Hard fought, good test.  WKU is pretty close to ranked

They certainly didn't make it easy but a "W" is a "W".

This is why it is so important to have a senior leader who is an elite player. Buss literally took over the game the last minute and put the team on her back with the 3 to tie than the layup to win. 

We were also helped by extreme stupidity when WKU gave one of their fouls to give when the shot clock was under 15 with about 30 sec left to reset the shot clock and give us the last attempt.

I was about to say something about how can we compete in Big Ten if struggling with this WKU team? Than I looked and realized they are actually a really good team coming off a 27-7 season and have already beat a ranked Mizzou team and playing reasonably well against an elite Notre Dame team (not to mention we lost to them last year and were still decent). I should of used my own trick which especially works at the Mid-Major level that generally if a school is strong in Football or Basketball it usually spreads across other sports and WKU has had a pretty good run in their conference in football last few years.
I'll leave analysis to others as I don't follow Women's Basketball quite like Baseball and Soccer but I am fairly familiar and see IU has an extremely tough non conference schedule.

Not an easy schedule by any means but calling it "extremely tough" is a stretch. Only 2 true road games in noncon. Every tough team we play is either in assembly or on a neutral court. Louisville, mizzou, wku, virginia and auburn are the only teams we play with decent rpi. This schedule was designed for a specific purpose. Luckily winning against wku should count as a quality win which should help us come March because I don't want to go to the wNIT again

Awesome! Nice move by Buss and glad to see her take it to the rim and not pass it out. FreeD is so freaking cool too!
