[Class of '66 Old Fart]

If you missed it in the Norfolk St. game thread @mamasa told us how this game got scheduled.

Cool story on why we’re playing there. When Moren 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.

 

No. 4/7 Indiana begins a three-game road stretch on Saturday when it travels to Quinnipiac. Tipoff on ESPN3 begins at 4 p.m. ET.

SERIES HISTORY
First meeting
 
NOTES

• Indiana is 3-0 for the fourth time in five seasons as it defeated Norfolk State in action at home on Tuesday night. Senior forward Aleksa Gulbe recorded the program's first double-double this season with a career-high 22 points and tied a career-high 12 rebounds.
• 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.

• 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.
• Two Hoosiers have put up double figure assist games just three games into the 2021-22 season and currently are among the country's best in that category. Patberg currently ranks 16th in the country in total assists (21), 19th in assists per game (7.0) and ninth in assist-to-turnover ratio (7.0).  She dished out 10 assists in the win at Butler and multiple assists in every game so far. Berger is 28th in the nation in assists per game (6.0) and 31st with 18 total assists.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

A considerably less than stellar start for the women today.  Midway thru the 1st Q and Quinnipiac leading  12-4.  Not looking sharp at all.  We already have picked up 5 fouls; 2 of them on Cardano-Hillary.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

End of the 1st Q and Quinnipiac with a 16-10 lead.  Neither team looks sharp.

[Todd41]

Looking sluggish. 

[mamasa]

Makenzie Helms vs Mackenzie Holmes is confusing 

[mamasa]

Trap game?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Good grief.  We don't look at all like the #4 team in the country.   Midway thru the 2nd Q and we trail 27-16.

7 TOs; getting outrebounded; 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Big win and looking past this team it seems. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Helms for Q with her 3rd foul.

[mamasa]

This looks like a team from 10 years ago

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Quinnipiac with a 33-27 halftime lead and we need to wake up.   Berger with a half court shot to make it that close.

 

[GloryDays]

Berger with made 3/4 court shot to end the half.

[Aaron]

Berger can make from half court but offense looks horrific and missing easy shots. Not sure how team looks so fluid first three games and horrific this game.

[mamasa]

These refs love their traveling calls

[mamasa]

This is really an awful game for us

[mamasa]

Hopefully that’ll be the momentum turn

 

[mamasa]

Serious touch fouls both ways, not a fan of these refs

[GloryDays]

This team struggles defending quick guards.

Deweese was a hand full.

A win's a win.
