SERIES HISTORY
First meeting
 
NOTES

• Indiana moved up four spots to No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 on Monday, making history once again. It marks the first time in school history that the program has been ranked inside the top 5 in either national poll.
• It's coming off a 2-0 start to opening week where it defeated Butler on the road and No. 13 Kentucky. It marked the 10^th straight season its won a season opener and 15^th straight season its won its home opener.
• Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes earned her second career Big Ten Player of the Week honor as she went 64.0 percent from the field and averaged 20.0 points per game. She also shot 66.7 percent from the arc (2-for-3) and went a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line. She was named the last Big Ten Player of the Week in the 2020-21 season on March 7, 2021.
• Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary was also impressive in week one, averaging 20.5 points per game while shooting a combined 83.3 percent from the field and 76.9 from 3-point range in two games. She also added 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game in both of IU's wins.
• Indiana head coach Teri Moren secured her 150^th career win in Cream and Crimson on Sunday evening. She's the program's second all-time winningest coach. A win on Tuesday would also give Moren, who is in her 19^th season of collegiate head coaching, her 350^th career victory.

Wow, Moren was 199-0, her first 11 years! lol

End of a sluggish 1st Q with a 17-14 Hoosier lead.   We shot 7-16 from the field and committed 4 TOs.   Norfolk 4-9 on 3s to make it interesting.  Mackenzie continuing her strong play with 10 of our 17 points.

Anyone know why we’re wearing red uniforms at home tonight?

The only time I’ve seen that is when Portland State (I think) men forgot their road green uniforms! 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Mackenzie with 18 pts. on 9-10 shooting and Hoosiers have a 39-21 halftime lead.  A strong 2nd Q pushed our FG% up to  52%.   Norfolk just 8-30 for 27% and 5-12 on 3s.  We held them scoreless for over 7 min. in the quarter. 

Ali has 9 pts. and 6 assists.  As a team we have 13 assists on 14 made field goals.

Norfolk St didn't have time to do laundry after wearing their road uniforms Sunday at OSU. This sounds funny but it is the truth.

Midway thru the 3rd Q and it's 51-31.  Holmes 20; Gulbe and Patberg each with 12.

What was the double technical? My radio stream keeps cutting out

From the sounds of it all it was just a stare down and a very strange call by the official.  No shoves, spitting, etc.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Gulbe just got her first 20 point game of her IU career and her 10th rebound for the game.

Holmes to the bench finishing with 22 pts. on 11-15 shooting.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

72-42 final score. 

Points:  Holmes 22 / Gulbe  22 / Patberg 17

Reb:  Gulbe 12 / Berger 7

Asst:  Berger 11 / Patberg 6 / Cardano-Hillary 4

Only bad statistic is 19 TOs with 6 coming from Gulbe and 4 from Berger.

Thanks for the updates! Such a well rounded team. Holmes is the Kevin McHale of women's college basketball.

Team was def tired after the emotional win Sunday, but didn't matter against a team of this caliber and did more than enough to win.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I thought we were great! Enjoyed the game and the #4 ranking. Rolling!

I thought it was odd we scheduled this game just 2 days after the UK game.

Cool story on why we’re playing there. When Morten gets an out of state commit, she tries to schedule a road game in that area so the  player gets to play near family and friends! This one is for Holmes
