3/4/22 – W, 62-51 (Indianapolis)
 
NOTES

Graduate student guard Grace Berger made her triumphant return on Sunday afternoon at Northwestern. In her first outing since suffering a knee injury on Nov. 25, the Louisville, Ky. native scored a season-high 16 points, five assist and two steals. She also eclipsed the 1,600-career scoring mark and became 10th all-time in scoring in school history.

The Hoosiers picked up their first win in the series against Maryland in 2021-22, a regular season win at home and a victory in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament.

Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes leads the way for Indiana in scoring and rebounding as she continues her strong start to the 2022-23 season. Holmes has scored in double figures in all 15 games and has eight 20-point scoring games and one 30-point scoring game. The Gorham, Maine native is averaging 21.1 points and 8.0 rebounds - both team-highs - and is shooting 68.4 percent from the floor, which leads the Big Ten.

Ninth year head coach Teri Moren picked up her 186th victory at the helm of the Hoosiers on Sunday in the win at Northwestern, pulling closer to the all-time coaching win record in school history. She needs two more victories to tie Jim Izard's 188 wins that he amassed over 12 seasons.

Good crowd.

Clock malfunction 47 sec. into the game.  I blame it on the men's program.

Post tip-off? Great crowd

Looks like 8-10 thousand.

And they are going to see some high-level basketball!

We have a recurring problem with 1st Q turnovers.  3 already in the first 4:30.

After 1, MD leads 20-19.

Maryland forces a ton of turnovers. We are playing absolutely great ball. Tournament worthy atmosphere and two heavyweight teams.

IU 29-23 in the second. Super fun game.

Much better than last night's.

And that was not a flagrant foul?????????????????????????/

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,865]

Physical first half with minimal fouls.  In typical B1G fashion, the second half will be filled with ticky tack whistles.

Hopefully the men's team is watching and seeing what effort looks like

No sir.

That elbow hit her in the chest. A bit of overdramatizing by Scalia drew the offensive foul.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,865]

Nope, CMM just had her arm chopped off, no call. Just a flesh wound.
