Class of '66 Old Fart

IUWBB at Maryland - 01/04/21 @ 7:00 on ESPN2

Recommended Posts

At least we can watch the first half of the women's game before the men's game starts at 8:00.   #20 IUWBB (5-2) (3-0) on the road against perennially tough #14 Maryland (6-1) (2-0) as our women have never beaten Maryland since it joined the B1G losing 10 straight.     Five players average double figures as the Terps are one of the country's leaders in points per game with an average of 97.3 points per outing. Led by sophomore guard Ashley Owusu's 18.4 points and 4.1 assists per game. Sophomore forward Diamond Miller adds 17.9 points per game while senior Chloe Bibby leads on the glass with 8.1 per game.  Can our defense contain their offense?

Lastly, we need a volunteer to wake @mamasa for the start of this game since he slept through the first half of the Illinois game.   :92:

A nice 12-2 run early in the 3rd cut the lead to 2 points but Maryland just too much to handle and leads 61-47 at the end of 3.  Don't think the IU women have enough left to mount a 4th quarter attack and pull this one out.  Maryland still shooting over 50% FG and 45% on 3s.  Officials letting them play as the teams have only attempted a combined 7 FT.
