IUWBB vs Maryland - 3/4/22 @ 1:50 in BTN Tournament

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Televised on the basic BTN.

We beat the Terps (21-7) (13-4) 70-63 in OT back on Jan. 2, in Bloomington and they beat us in College Park 67-64 on Feb. 25.  Key difference was a healthy Mackenzie playing 41 min. vs. a less than 100% Mack playing 31 min.  No idea on Browne's status for today's game but since she wasn't even in uniform yesterday would seem doubtful she'll be available today so we'll need another solid outing from Chloe and hopefully some other bench contributions.  GO HOOSIERS.

It's game time, let's put our game face on, and let's go. Winner gets #1 OSU tomorrow

I still don’t believe it’s in our best interest to try and win four games in four days. But Id like to see us beat Maryland today. Think that would get us into the 3-seed in the tourney and avoid playing a 1-seed until the Elite 8. If Grace and Aleksa can have a good game I like our chances. We seem to go as they go right now.

On the pre-game show Browne is in uniform and expected to play today.

I'd really love a blowout (in our favor, lol)- this old guy heart can't handle a lot of game stress today

[JerryYeagley23]

Good start. Defense was great. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

18-13 Hoosiers lead after 1Q.

[JerryYeagley23]

Good stretch of play to start the second quarter. Gotta continue to sag into the lane on defense and force Maryland to beat us from the outside. And keep getting out in transition. Owusu is not in game shape and hasn’t been getting back on defense after missed shots giving us numbers. 

[TheWatShot]

That was an awful jump ball call to give it back to Maryland for the last shot of the half (which thankfully resulted in nothing). I don't see how you can force a tie up when the offensive player has their back to you. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Hoosiers playing very well and lead 34-25 at the half.

Great balanced scoring led by Mack with 10 pts and she's grabbed 4 reb.  Berger and C-H both with 6 pts.  Gulbe, Ali and Chloe each with 4.     48% FG     C-H with  5 reb; Grace & Mack each with 4.  C-H also grabbed 4 steals and dished out 2 assists.   As a team we have 10 assists on 15 made FG.

We've held Maryland to 31% FG.

Better team play than yesterday. I'm really going to miss our departing ladies next season for sure! But, love seeing Wisne get some minutes (really shocked me), hope she can become a real contributor. CMM seems to have a "refuse to lose" mentality, which will be needed.  

[JerryYeagley23]

That was a rough quarter. Fortunate to get that run-out at the end to keep the lead at six. Offensive rebounds for Maryland killing us. Need Some production from Grace to hold them off and finish this one. Let’s go girls!

[FloridaHoosierGirl]

Let's finish this, ladies!

[JerryYeagley23]

That was closer to a flop than an offensive foul on Berger. Weak call. 

[LamarCheeks]

Need to make FTs. 

[NashvilleHoosier]

I bought tickets to the wrong Big Ten Tournament. 

[Stuhoo]

This team instills such confidence when watching them.

[JerryYeagley23]

Let’s go! That was a pretty complete game right there. 

[LamarCheeks]

Up 13 with 27 seconds to go. I think the Twerps can stop fouling now. 

[LamarCheeks]

Great win!
