6 starters for 5 spots.  (depending upon game situations or player circumstances) and (player coming off bench plays alot of minutes) and (does Geary 6’4’ start or Chloe 5’11’ start or come off bench). (Parrish starts) and (Scalia starts) (along with Holmes and Berger)…analysis without knowing anything about summer development or practices and what coaching staff and players are thinking.

Good analysis.  Yardon Garzon wouldn't surprise to earn starter minutes either.  6th woman can get starter minutes. This should be a good problem to have.  

[TTT 922]

Agree about Garzon.  Can’t overlook her to be a factor especially as season progresses.

"Entering the portal, I kept my options open, but as soon as IU contacted me, it opened my head a little bit," she says. "I realized I can go back home and play, I can be close to family, and I can be on a winning program."

GAME DAY INFO

ABOUT THE PANTHERS
Kentucky Wesleyan, a Division II school in Owensboro, Ky., is a member of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference where it went 19-10 overall in 2021-22 and 15-6 in league play. They were selected to finish second in the G-MAC preseason poll and return a strong group of starters including first team all-conference selection Tahlia Walton.

NOTES

Indiana holds its only public exhibition on Friday before regular season action starts on Nov. 8 at home against Vermont.

Returning to the lineup this season are a pair of All-Americans in graduate student guard Grace Berger and senior forward Mackenzie Holmes. The pair was named to the 10-member preseason All-Big Ten team.

The Hoosiers were also selected to finish second amongst the Big Ten media and third by the league's coaches in the annual preseason polls.

Seven new players were added to the roster in the offseason in four freshmen and three transfers. Highlighting the freshmen group is Israel native Yarden Garzon while the trio of transfers has a wealth of experience including the 2020 Indiana Miss Basketball Sydney Parrish, who arrives after two years at Oregon.

Three players earned spots on the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame starting five preseason watch lists in October. Sara Scalia is up for the Ann Meyers Drysdale award (nation's top shooting guard), Grace Berger is a three-time preseason honoree for the Cheryl Miller Award (nation's top small forward) and Mackenzie Holmes repeats on the Lisa Leslie Award (nation's top center). Fan voting is now live at hoophallawards.com.

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers will open the regular season at home on Tuesday, November 8 against Vermont. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. ET in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

KWC is my wife's alma mater. She played there back in the late '90s. The funny thing about them these days is they have a husband and wife who are co-head coaches and have been since 2010.

Newcomers Scalia and Garzon in tonight's starting lineup.

Guard the 3.  Tennessee is big and can shoot the 3.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,237]

After 3 Q's we've nearly doubled up Wesleyan 64-33.  Only hit 4-16 on 3's and Scalia just 2-8.  That's the only real negative from tonight.

The cheerleader at center court during the William Tell flag break looked so unenthusiastic lol
