IU Ladies are good….but how good??? A couple of very solid Vegas wins with continuous improvement inside and outside are much needed.  At Tennessee was a great win over a struggling way over ranked lost team.  So IU wins this season are  over a somewhat weak schedule.  Looking at IU Lady basketball schedule regular season should possibly go undefeated.  (Handle a press, rebound, and shoot the 3 ball near 40% with defense).

We can put a man on the moon, but we can't watch the No. 6 women's basketball team without having to pay a fee.

9:36 ET is the newest start time.

Game being played in a ballroom at the Mirage Casino.  Probably having trouble getting the officials away from the craps tables.

So, this is the floorplan of the Mirage's ballrooms.

Indiana is a team that is still trying to build some kind of identity.  For the longest time, women's basketball was irrelevant at IU, outside of the occasional freak conference tournament run.  They won the WNIT a few years back, had a few good showings in the NCAA tournament, and got to the Big Ten title game this past season.  With the wins and the recruitment, the program should be set for a few years.

Unfortunately, it being women's basketball, it has to put up with FloSports appearances and playing in a literal ballroom.

Berger went down in serious pain clutching her knee. Praying its not serious but afraid for worse:(.

I hope Berger is well, ugh this stupid court

Wasn’t watching with change of tip-off. Did Grace leave the court under her own power? Was it non-contact?

She was helped off the court but was able to put some very slight weight on it.

It was caused by a tangle up on the floor. She was on the floor when it happened.  I was unsure if she was tangled up with the other player or if her foot did not slide when she twisted away.

The court had zero to do with it. The setup is awful and amateur overall. However, where and how she fell would have been same on the best court in the world.

Got it, a lot of Twitter comments were blaming how dumb the court is

Not assuming anything, but would sound like a good thing it happened while on the floor. Can twist it or bruise it, but not a common way to tear ACL/MCL which would be the worst scenario for her season. Hope for the best.

Court and setup is indeed very dumb but had zero to do with injury. She dove for a loose ball and knee buckled. Result would have been same on any court in world.

What exactly is the point of this event? I'm not a fan of these "invitationals" that don't even produce a champion or classifications. Seems like a waste to travel across the country to play teams that are practically within driving distance of campus on a sh*t court in a damn ballroom.
