2025-26 30 gp. 13.2 min. 5.4 pts. 2.6 rebs .

0.7 assts. 0.3 stls. 0.9 blks. 1.7 tos. 57% fgs 

25% 3 pt fgs.   82.1%fts.  1.9fouls

yes IU Ladies had several of these;  would be another lateral move…and could be the quality big addition they end up with/can only get…..while the top echelon of teams get high production stars….thus far the recruit/player IU needed is going to USC.

This could be a fool’s gold hire given that he was recruiting for LSU under Kim Mulkey

Against UCLA (& the Betts sisters), Zaja (Wisconsin) got 16 points and 4 rebounds. Against UCLA, Noyan got 1 point and 2 rebounds; Ondineme got 0 points and 1 rebound; Wiseman got 0 points and 1 rebound. Yeah, it would be great to get a super-athletic center like Okeke, but we seem to miss on them all the time.

When we've gone into the European market (Sandvik, Ondineme, Kadlecova), it's been mainly a bust. Garzon?

Doesn’t matter take her best one game vs season equals lateral move.  She could take her choice of Faith Wiseman or Jade Ondineme spot on the bench and play a little out of necessity and yes that might be all IU Ladies can get.  
Edessa Noyan showed improvement and had an excellent game vs Oregon (not UCLA) but started to improve the back half of season.

Yeah. That's not good. The way IU has missed on the bigs--1/3 of the squads at South Carolina, LSU, USC, and Reagan Beers . . . don't see it getting better with the formula of wishing and hoping for top 10 recruits. Maybe need to be more discerning on recognizing and attracting sleepers and overachievers? Like Mack Holmes, for instance.

What do you do with Arek Angui Auburn transfer portal?  Is it worth a chance?  And does IU Ladies have a chance?  
IU Ladies should have a chance because she needs playing time and IU Ladies need a big and there is no doubt the coaching would be there.  Win Win.

15 seats might just be worth 1 of those seats…unless there’s a difference maker lurking….not sure how she holds up physically?  And if it’s for sure 90% she is not going to play it’s a pass.

Maryland  66.   NC. 74

Garzon 6 pts. 2 for 11 fgs 0 for 6 3pta.
2 for 4 fts  3 rbs. 1 asst.  2tos. 1 stl. 0 blks.
4 pfs.  in 36 mins.

I hope everyone is happy whoever sold her this horse$$@)&.  

She played much better under T. Moren even though Moren challenged her. And it cost IU Ladies a 20 win season.  
It cost Garzon ANY chance of WNBA…though she may play in another league.

BTW -- No. 10 seed UVA and No. 2 Iowa in overtime. 

Pretty good game. 

[LamarCheeks]

Despite Iowa getting a friendly boost from the officials, calling a late flagarant on UVA -- we're headed to a second OT. 

[LamarCheeks]

UVA takes a nine-point lead with 1:58 to go in second OT.

Cavs are last double-digit seed remaining. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Cavs are gonna win. 

HUGE upset.
