mamasa Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 Great effort against a tough team so far Quote
ccgeneral Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Hoosiers fall 84-79. Tough loss, but another great team effort. We host OSU on Saturday. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Despite hitting only 5-14 3's, we still shot 50% from the field. Rebounding killed us as Michigan out-rebounded us by 20 total and by 6 on the offensive glass that led to 17 Michigan second chance points to only 6 for IU. If Michigan hadn't been so sloppy with the ball (22 TO's) it could have been much worse as we scored 22 pts. off those TO's. Good effort on the road against a ranked team. Just have to get focused on Saturday's game. Quote
Aaron Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Glad everyone approves of a 'good effort' on the road. I agree tonight was about the best you could hope for but the fact that we are not taking advantage of Tyra Buss in her senior year (it's not her fault as she is doing everything she can) is despicable. Moren has recruited well but roster construction and her player development is so poor that what should be a sure tourney team will struggle to make WNIT. Feel bad for Buss as other than her sophomore year we have basically wasted her career as the best player in program history. That is 100% on Moren who is losing players left and right to transfers who don't want to play for her who are really good. I have said multiple times this year that this program is not in good shape until we make a coaching change and hire the right coach. Moren is not it. Iugradman and IUWBBFan 2 Quote
