Blast from the past (the photo at least): Did not recognize at first that this was CTM ...

Looking at summer work out pictures….not exactly sure…Holmes and Bargesser are braced up on the knee.  Holmes and a long season to come will be an interesting journey…playing less minutes and opportunities for both, Jelks…not sure if she will continue to be knee braced and Lilly.

And then Wisne has been along for the ride at 6’5”

Bargesser wears a knee brace, yes. She tore her ACL in HS.

Yes I know about Bargesser.  However, it appears in summer pic Holmes is braced similar to last year during injury.

It's permanently weak/needs support. Proactive.

IU Ladies basketball though not at the top of the list…. IU Ladies basketball are pretty high in the mix to win the 2024 National Championship March Madness tournament per Las Vegas betting odds.  Any takers/bets?

Mack will get to go back home to play a game this season. 

Pretty cool ...

Wonderful gesture and a great way to honor Mack and her IU career.  And I believe I read that Maine will visit SSAH in the 24-25 season.

This goes for most college students and (toddlers, elementary, middle school, high school)….and probably more noticeable athletic or athletes how they transform/develop/mature 17 or 18 to 22, 23 or 24 years of age physically mentally, and emotionally….in many or most cases.  This has been prevalent in the overwhelmingly majority of those in Teri Moren era of IU Ladies basketball program…one of the very best/tops in all the land.

Coach Moren and the USA U19 women bring home the gold with a 69-66 win over Spain.

UConn hit with another major injury.

UConn WBB freshman center Jana El Alfy will miss the 2023-24 season after suffering an Achilles tendon rupture playing for Egypt in the 2023 FIBA U19 World Cup; she'll have surgery later this week

Seth Tow  -  Teri Moren says Mackenzie Holmes looks "healthy and great" but may not play in Greece out of extreme caution.

Deciphering T. Moren in these kinds of situations???? (Reality is there is a frailty no matter how significant or small to the situation for 2023-2024) (especially this one) (most coaches are about the same in this respect)…. I agree other than letting Holmes stand on court for a second or two (optional).  IU Ladies have to stay healthy 1 thru 7 or 8 to be there best and almost every team would say the same thing. (and who emerges as 7 and 8 impactful players…some good player potential and beyond 7 and 8)
