Breaking: USC phenom JuJu Watkins has suffered a torn ACL in her right knee, sources tell ESPN. She will undergo surgery.

Observation:  Many of the things that T. Moren, coaching staff, and players talk about and demonstrate that make IU Ladies Basketball Program high character and class…..I also see in many other top Ladies programs around the country demonstrated in their own way.

After IU, I'm thinking my second-favorite women's team is now gonna be Arizona State ...

The X marketing campaign is working. She’s all over the place

Just like us, Maryland is giving South Carolina the business after 20 minutes. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Twerps-Gamecocks is a wing-dinger. 

Maryland up by 1 with 2:31 to play. 

[LamarCheeks]

Gamecocks gonna pull it out. 

Too much firepower down the stretch.

Arizona Ladies coach to SMU….the team that eliminated IU Ladies in the elite 8 and made it to the NCAA Ladies March Madness Championship just a few short years ago.

UCONN vs South Carolina March Madness Championship.  The noticeable thing that stands out about UCONN is their players even Ashlynn Shade have thick big solid bodies that can move and shoot.  Solid defense and don’t get shoved or knocked around.

How was UConn a 2 seed?

The 3 Reynolds sisters from South Bend are all headed to UT Arlington along with their father who will become an assistant coach for the women's team.

A while back I noted General Manager for college basketball on the men’s side.

on the women basketball side UCLA coach plans to prioritize to hire a GM  because there is not enough time to attend to coaching duties and recruiting transfers.

Maybe, a similarities to recent Alabama hire for IU Colston Thompson.

Coach McKuff gave it the old college try but it was brutal….2:00 - 25 minutes utube videos.  
(Starting at 63 trying to get past number 63 when counting backwards to 48 and starting with letter D trying to get passed letter D while saying alphabet to letter R (not sure he could have done it sober)…..forget about standing on one foot or walking toe to heal. 

However, when ask about his education level K.W. did remember he had a Masters degree…..Not answering questions (maybe trying to control emotions) other than when being requestioned answering yes and no.

Attorney shows up to court for McKuff and enters not guilty plea.

.wonder if any Lady Ohio State players are granted special status to go or transfer elsewhere?

Wonder how much Caitlin Clark Iowa/Indiana Fever is now or will be involved with participating in Iowa women basketball NIL financially?

While Clark will be great PR for their program, one would think that Iowa has boosters with far, far greater net worth than the $5-10 million that Clark has at this point in her career.

Good point.  And it depends on how much she financially continues to grow, not that she would be the biggest contributor but I think she seems like the kind of person that would be involved.

Linda Sayavongchanh to Colorado State like a package deal with Bargesser.  
Not sure how it turns out regarding IU Ladies but they have a new personality adjustment.
