This is what top teams have done to us in the past. Now this time we are the  great team doing it to another. 

That had the potential to be a program-changing win for them and we snatched it right out from under their noses. It's so refreshing to see an IU team do that to someone else for once.

For a team that lacks depth, players like Moore-McNeil getting valuable minutes could certainly help down the stretch.

Wish we had more players, but we're down to 11 on the whole roster given one of the freshmen left the program.

What happened to Caitlin Hose? She was a transfer. Haven't seen her for a long while.

Gutsy win. Amazing. My recording didn’t get the OT. That part stinks.

Grace Berger and Aleksa Gulbe are really impressive. We need Holmes back badly, but we need her healthy in March, more importantly.

Maryland lost to Michigan 

69-49 and ended Maryland's 31 game home winning streak.  We travel to Ann Arbor on Jan. 31st and we'll need all hands on deck.

What a game!

IU is so lucky how mediocre the Big Ten is outside Michigan, Maryland, and maybe Iowa. OSU, NW and Neb are decent but far from great, PU and MSU are mediocre at best and Rutgers, PSU, Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin are about the worst teams you will ever see.

Even if Holmes is out a month lets say, IU can survive without her as they have games with MSU, PU, Minnesota and Illinois at home and Illinois on road as well. The tough ones in next month are Michigan and Iowa on road. Even if you lose those though and head into four game gauntlet (@Neb, NW, Iowa, @Maryland) to close season at 11-2 you are in great shape from both a chance to win Big Ten Title and get top 4 seed to host NCAA Tournament games.

Need NCH as her defense and point guard play are irreplaceable. I love Moore-McNeil but that's a huge drop off. However, fortunately Health and Safety Protocols should put her back by next Sunday @Iowa at the very latest. Holmes could be longer, but you can survive without her, using a combination of Brown and Gulbe at center for the time being and should focus on getting Mac healthy for March.

Also Patberg rolled her ankle today but I think she is ok.

Ali Patberg has ice in her veins she wanted to go back in whether Moren wanted her to or not. I was surprised that Grace fouled forty feet from the basket with that much time left on the clock.

The Big 10 has 6 of the top 28 teams in the NET rankings as of today (Indiana #10, Nebraska #12, Maryland #18, Michigan #21, Ohio State #26, and Iowa #28).  It's not quite the best conference in the country, but it's far from "mediocre."
