Don't hold your breath.  One report I've seen said a 12/29 return was optimistic so sometime in January is probably more likely.

Maryland WBB has announced that sophomore wing Ava McKennie is out for the season with a torn ACL; she was averaging 3.7 PPG and 1.3 RPG in 10.4 MPG; second Terp out with a torn ACL, along with Lea Bartelme

Dayum. Have the Toiletmakers just given up on women's hoops? 

On the flipside, Michigan looks to be very, very good. 

I remember two seasons ago, we were crushing them after 20 minutes in the B1G tourney. They turned the tables and rolled us in the second half. 

Kinda been on different trajectories ever since.

Exactly right on all accounts.

UK beat them 76-35 and they lost to PFW a few weeks ago. They're not in a good place right now in women's basketball or football and that makes me happy.

I really expected Katie Geralds to begin to turn the program around after they finally got rid of Versyp but that has not proven to be the case.

And now this for the Twerps.

Maryland WBB senior guard Kaylene Smikle has announced she'll undergo season-ending knee injury and that she intends to return for the 2026-27 season; two other Terps are also out for the season: Lea Bartelme and Ava McKennie

I am personally glad the IU women who went elsewhere are having success.  I notice their former IU teammates are highly supportive of their efforts at their new schools.

I wish them well.

Yarden hits a layup to send Maryland to a second overtime at Minnesota -- which the Twerps eventually won. 

She never showed that kind of athleticism at IU. LOL!

Good for Lex!  Thanks.

Shouldn't this be called "a master class in how to get away with traveling"?

At Maryland vs Iowa and Iowa leading throughout game the game goes into overtime with Iowa continuing their winning ways.

March 25, 2024.   IU. 75.   Oklahoma. 68 and Sweet Sixteen.

January 22, 2026.  

Oklahoma  94 vs South Carolina  82

Ohio State  81.   IU  67 and 0 big ten wins.

in the words of T. Moren….it’s one thing to win but it’s another thing to sustain success.

Arizona was called for a total of 31 fouls.  Iowa State 13.  Now  that's some mighty fine home cookin'.

This woman can coach. 

Started at D-II. Went to a Final Four there. Was 32-0 the next year, but no tourney (COVID). 

Jumped to Division I. Was 117-38 at Grand Canyon. 

Went to Power 5 and is 18-4 at Arizona State. That's the same Arizona State that went 10-22 and 11-20 the two seasons prior. 

In 11 seasons, she's 314-59 (.842). Granted, she only midway through her first season in big-time hoops. But that's damn impressive. Sorta seems a little like Ben McCollum.

Arizona State Ladies Basketball coach has that personality and she wins to back it up that recruits and young people are attracted to.  The couple short interviews I saw she is enthusiastic, high energy and confident.

Is Scott interviewing?
