CTM named coach of the U18 National Team. 

Congrats. 

(Excellent recruiting tool: "You want to start? Here's a letter of intent." ... LOL). 

This is freaking awesome. Teri needs to study how K handled that for the boys when he was doing it. It was basically nothing but a Duke recruiting tool.

T. Moren has been assistant coach for USA for a few years.

And going from enemy to friend for most Indiana fans as she will be drafted by Fever.

Can't wait to see Iowa fans' reactions the first time she puts on a jersey with "Indiana" on the front.

The bracket is official.

Our first game will be against Rutgers, Minnesota or Michigan late Friday night (probably a bit after 9 ET). 

Hope Mack and Lilly are good to go. Mack was jogging on the court after Sunday's game and Lilly looked to have one of those ankle twists or sprains that hurts like hell when it happens and is OK in a couple hours (at least I hope that's the case). More worried about Mack -- she banged the knee she's had trouble with against the Maryland defender.

In our first B1G tourney game last year, it looked like she tweaked her knee -- and it seemed to affect her the rest of the way. Not an excuse for the loss to Miami, but it certainly didn't help matters.

Last radio show for T. Moren and Austin Render ‘Inside Indiana Women Basketball’ is next Monday March 11…7:00pm-8:05pm (I think). (due to no men’s show). B96.7

Inside Indiana Women Basketball:  T. Moren being humble and thankful regarding players, coaches and fans.

 Positive about Lilly and Mack….but time will tell towards end of week.  
 Therefore, noted not out of question to play small ball with Yarden in the middle.  (played it vs Maryland).  Noted if small ball is played some offensive adjustments will be addressed.
Also noted in retrospect could have played more zone vs Illinois.

“Well, they were both in today to see (athletic trainer) Ben [Tate],” Moren said. “I think they both feel better. I think we’ll know at the end of the week where both of them are, as far as availability for the weekend. I thought there was some optimistic news today. So, I felt good about it. I think Ben feels good about it. But time will tell.”

 

Classic coach speak but contrasted with prior year Mack comments, this sounds positive for both.

Hopefully for IU Ladies.  Regarding small ball comment…if Mack is ready to go and Lilly is limited for game one an option is intriguing to see Garzon in the middle more while Mac is getting a rest.  May not be a bad option IF Garzon can stay out of foul trouble.  If Lilly is ready to go (and Mac as well)… business as usual.

Scalia and Mack first-team all-B1G media picks. 

CMM second team.

Yarden honorable mention. 

Mack and C****** C**** were the only unaminous selections. They picked 10 first-teamers, which is kinda odd. Still, good for Sara -- she deserves it.
