IUWBB vs Eastern Kentucky - 11/25/20 @ 1:30 ET

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Season opener against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels.  EK is a public institution located in Richmond, KY.   Last year's team finished with an overall record of 11-18 and just 5-13 in Ohio Valley Conference play.  Haven't seen confirmation but I presume the game will be broadcast over https://whcc105.com/

A few comments from the first IUWBB radio show of the year.

1. Indiana was originally slated to open with Lipscomb, but they had a couple COVID cases and the game was scrapped. Found a partner in EKU, which was to open with Bellarmine before the Knights had to pause their program.
2. Frosh Kiandra Browne no longer plans to redshirt w/ NCAA granting a free year for everyone but is overcoming a hip injury right now.
3. Still awaiting NCAA ruling on immediate eligibility for transfer Nicole Cardano-Hilary.
4. 2021 signee Paige Price of Australia will join Indiana in late December after her club season with @BendigoSpirit and would be eligible to potentially play in the second semester.

In the face of a pandemic, that grift is still around? [emoji383]

Not related to today's game but saw this moments ago from Kentucky WBB:  Interim head coach Kyra Elzy has announced that Tatyana Wyatt has been suspended three games for violation of team rules and Rhyne Howard has been suspended two games for not upholding the standards of the program. Both will begin their suspensions today.

Our game with Kentucky is scheduled for Dec. 6, and represents Kentucky's 4th game so none of the 3 will be out for that game.

At least they won't be able to claim they were short handed when we smoke them!

Granted, the competition is not great, but I like our start to the season!

You can do that when you play social distancing defense.

At some point in the first half Patberg became the 28th Hoosier to reach the 1,000 career point mark.
