  • The Hoosiers return home to host a pair of games this week beginning with the Fighting Illini on Monday and against in-state rival Purdue on Thursday.
  • They are coming off a 66-56 win at Rutgers on New Year's Eve where four players scored in double figures behind junior guard Jaelynn Penn's 14 points, who scored her 1,000th career point in the victory.
  • Freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes is coming off her second Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor last week after she scored 18 points in the Big Ten opener against Michigan State. The Gorham, Maine native also added double figures with 10 points and two blocks at Rutgers.
  • IU continues to be one of the nation's best shooting teams as it leads the Big Ten and is sixth in the nation by shooting 48.7 percent from the floor through 14 games.
  • Indiana leads the all-time series with Illinois, 41-30, and have won the last eight-straight. It marks the longest win streak in the series for the Hoosiers and their longest active win streak against another Big Ten school.

Looking forward to watching this. Maybe everybody will play great, we'll win by 25-plus points and everybody can stop fussing about the men's team for a couple hours. 

Who am I trying to kid? We won't stop the fussing for even 5 minutes! ...

End of 1 and our Hoosiers with a  22-8 lead.  Totally dominating the glass with an 18-4 rebound advantage.  IU with 9 offensive and 9 defensive rebs.   Gulbe & Holmes each with 5 reb.   Patberg 7 pts.; Gulbe 6.   If only the men's team could start out this strong.

 Cruising to a 43-19 halftime lead.  

Points: Patberg 13; Penn 9; Berger 7

Reb.:  Holmes 7; Gulbe 6; Berger 4.

Rebounding advantage 25-11.    11 assists on 19 made baskets.

Gulbe spent a good part of the 2nd Q on the bench with 2 fouls.  Chanel Wilson also with 2 fouls both coming within a minute of each other.  Holmes also with 2 fouls.

I've said it before, but Mackenzie Holmes is going to be a fantastic 4-year player.  Tonight she's demonstrated that she can use either hand to score.

Anyone heard anything on Bendu?  I noticed Novereske got some time, but didn't see Bendu. Not able to listen to Greg Murray, who usually gives the updates

I missed his pre-game with Coach Moren but have been following his play-by-play and haven't heard him comment on Bendu.

I can't imagine playing basketball with Plantar Fasciitis.  It is so painful just to walk with it.

Especially in both feet!  With one, you kinda compensate, but both?  Kudos to her!
