IUWBB vs Wisconsin - Sunday, 1/15/23 @ 2:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,923]

Need to avoid the emotional letdown of a huge win over MD last Thursday and the upcoming game on Wednesday at Illinois (14-3) (4-2).  Hopefully, the women come out focused and take care of Wisconsin (10-6) (2-3) early.

 Wisconsin comes in after an overtime win over Michigan State on Wednesday night in East Lansing. Senior guard Julia Pospisilova leads four players in double figures with 13.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. Redshirt freshman guard adds 12.8 points while freshman forward Serah Williams helps lead the team on the glass with 5.3 per game along with 12.3 points per outing. The Badgers are scoring 70.0 points per game while shooting 43.1 percent from the floor.

The Hoosiers are coming off their third ranked win this season as it defeated No. 9/11 Maryland, 68-61, on Thursday night. Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes posted her fourth-straight double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds while junior guard Sydney Parrish led the way with 18 points.

The win over a ranked Terps squad made its second top-10 win of the season, the first time in the Teri Moren era and the first time since 2001-02 that the program has won two games in the same campaign against top-10 opposition.

Holmes posted her 17th-consecutive ballgame with double-digit points ns and pulled down 10 rebounds, recording her fourth-straight double-double and the seventh of the season. She now owns 17 career double-doubles.

Indiana has owned the series against Wisconsin as of late, winning its last eight dating back to 2016. It has won seven-straight home games between the two teams dating back to 2012 as well. Additionally, the Hoosiers have won 10 of the last 11 in the series which dates back to 2014.

With its 15-1 record, IU has its best record in 16 games since the 1974-75 season, where it also went 15-1 in 16 games played.

Ninth year head coach Teri Moren picked up her 187th victory at the helm of the Hoosiers on Thursday against Maryland, pulling closer to the all-time coaching win record in school history. She needs one more victory to tie Jim Izard's 188 wins that he amassed over 12 seasons.

IU Ladies need double figures to go along with the rest of her solid game from Sara Scalia.

She needs to play better, but she gets the Miller Kopp defensive game plan that NO ONE leaves her.

Would seem my fears of an emotional letdown were unfounded.

Starting to feel like a repeat of the Illinois game. Need a strong second quarter.
