Her time in Bloomington was so brief I'd totally forgotten about her.

Hearing that former Indiana WBB player Paige Price (6-2 SG/W, Melbourne, Australia) has entered her name into the portal, with three years of eligibility; she was part of the Hoosiers' 2021 recruiting class, enrolled early, and later returned home, where she rehabbed an injury.

How does that work…could she come back to IU?  Or another college? Or is she pro status ineligible?

Michigan State Ekh and Brookyn Rewers 6’3” or 6’4”in transfer portal.

Are more teams playing in the sweet 16 and or elite eight that played more cupcake schedules vs the teams that played tougher schedules…maybe peaking with fresher bodies and legs??? Is it an advantage to play an easier cupcake pre-conference schedule with a couple tougher opponents and improve vs a lot more tough opponents and just a couple cupcakes??? It is a long regular season and then conference tournament going into March Madness.

I don’t think so. But. IU rides it’s starters pretty hard. Most teams do I suppose. I think it only matters in case of nagging injuries or worse. Holmes knee was a factor and then our poor start and generally uncharacteristic defensive effort.

UConn losing to Ohio State. This bracket opened up perfectly for IU…

Rebecca Lobo in studio right now...

3 Big Ten teams in the Elite 8 and not only did we beat all 3, we could have easily been 6-0 against them. 

 

It gives me some hope for next year, that maybe we're not far off from UConn and South Carolina will almost certainly be weaker, but as far as this year goes...man.

The bracket didn’t need to open up.  The IU Ladies are absent.  IU Ladies could have beat any teams in tournament at their best or close to their best…however, they could have also lost to any of them if they got to far from their best which they did.  Vs Miami… IU became a little introverted and tightened up and Miami who is a good team played off the crowd and moment extroverted and confidently loose.

It would have been perfect if IU didn’t lay an egg. UConn was the one team I was nervous about playing on this side of the bracket. Little did I know…

Several teams lay eggs in March Madness.  It’s painful when it hits home…. And so much fun for foxes who raid the coop.

The only team I really want to win the tournament is Virginia Tech. All other teams I do not like for one reason or another (especially Iowa).

They just showed how Sue Bird visited an Iowa shootaround.

Caitlin Clark probably thought: "Oh great -- another autograph seeker."

The love fest that they're giving Clark makes me wanna turn the game off.

I know we are losing Berger and Geary and have two freshman recruits coming in. I thought I read that we still have two more scholarships - is that true? Please respond if you know. Thanks!

Catlin Clark misses a free throw, turns around and raises her hands as if it's the rim's fault. 

She is so damn obnoxious. 

[TheWatShot 13,894]

I hope we play Iowa at home next year and Clark has the worst game of her career.

I did turn it off for this exact reason and went to bed.

Yes, Kaitlin Peterson left team mid season to Central Florida and IU Ladies we’re already one player below scholarship limit.  IU Ladies have 2 scholarships available the way things currently stand.
