 On Monday  night's radio show:

- Alyssa Geary sprained her ankle Saturday in practice, no timetable for her return yet.

- Kiandra Browne 's recovery *could* last into January.

- Grace Berger is "attacking her recovery" process hard. No return date just yet.

Now, off the bench at guard, it’s Henna S. to the rescue for solid minutes.

And Bargesser will play some.

She's considerably better than Peterson. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Usual starters with Grace sidelined.

[TheWatShot]

Looking like turnovers are going to be a problem again tonight.

Don't remember the specific number, but PSU leads the league in forcing TOs.

One of the worst block/charges I've ever seen on Parrish to get her 2nd

Well, we're certainly contributing to that statistic. 9 TO's in the first quarter. Somehow we're up 1. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Not our best quarter despite having a 16-15 lead.  Parrish has 2 fouls and we have little depth.  9 TOs is really hurting us.

[Todd41]

Sloppy play continues. 
 

[TheWatShot]

I think I can guess what Teri Moren is saying in this timeout: stop turning the ball over. 

[LamarCheeks]

Wondering if this the game when not having Berger finally catches up to us. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

PSU only shooting 31% but with grabbing 6 offensive rebounds and our 11 TOs, they've put up 12 more shots than we have.

It was good for IU Ladies while it lasted.  Regardless, if IU Ladies win this game or not they are a top 25 team…Mentally, physically tired and lacking.  Penn State and Illinois are no Ohio State or Iowa.  Weaknesses showing.  The really true top teams don’t play like this.

[LamarCheeks]

Meister's gotta make that.

Just a matter of time maybe sooner than later.

The upcoming 10 day stretch without a game will be a blessing. The team just looks tired, mentally and physically.

CTM specifically mentioned mentally tired in her pre-game radio comments

Neither, Penn State nor Illinois is that good.  About as good as Purdue in the lower part of middle  of the big ten.
