IUWBB vs. Rutgers -- 03/03/22 @ 1:50 p.m. on BTN

[Todd41]

Rutgers has been hot down the stretch and playing with confidence.  That said, we should get through the game relatively easy if we stay aggressive and smart. 
 

 

[TheWatShot]

I want to run up the score on them for dodging us the past two seasons.

@LamarCheeks game thread had already been started but you're forgiven and we'll run with yours.  

 

No idea why but Kiandra Browne is with the team but not in uniform today so Chloe should get lots of minutes today.  We definitely have to stay out of foul trouble today.

Sorry -- didn't see it anywhere. Thought we should keep up with the ladies.

Dies this game count as double or nothing for last night?

Not a problem at all.  Happy to see people following the women.

[Josh]

Google calling them Rutger lol

 

[TheWatShot]

Knee-jerk reaction, but I don't see this team getting back to the Elite 8. 

[Aaron]

Gulbe and Cardano-HIllary not hitting shots and Holmes still not 100%. Recipe for closer than needed game.

[LamarCheeks]

Berger sinks the 15-footer to put the nail in the coffin -- even after getting the ball knocked loose on the way up. 

I've said this before -- and I'm not kidding: I think she's the most skilled player on an IU basketball roster. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

With Gulbe's time limited by fouls and already a thin bench we needed Chloe to step up.  She played 28 min. scoring  just 4 points but she grabbed 5 rebounds, 3 assists; 1 steal and only committed 1 TO.  

[LamarCheeks]

IU wins. 

We get the Twerps again tomorrow. 

[JerryYeagley23]

Good to see Ali continue to find her shooting stroke, but Mack just looks like a shell of herself and that's going to make it tough for this really talented team to make as much noise in the tourney. With how thin our rotation is, it honestly might not be a bad thing if we don't win four games in four days and can rest for next weekend. 

[Aaron]

Did enough. Ali had her best game in a while which was absolutely needed. Grace was good as usual. That was enough today against a Rutgers team that cannot score.

Need everyone to be good tomorrow to have chance.
