IUWBB @ Minnesota - Wednesday, 2/1/23 @ 8:00 ET on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

6 straight points to end the quarter and Hoosiers up the lead to 58-40.  Whew!

[HoosierAloha]

This announcer needs promoted.

Good quick run to end the quarter

[LamarCheeks]

OK. Back up to 18 with 10 minutes to go. 

Should be up by 28, though. As good as we against OSU in the third quarter, we looked ragged here. 

[LamarCheeks]

I'd love to see Scalia pop a couple 3s to give us some breathing room and so she can look good in front of the home crowd. 

[TheWatShot]

Not worried about losing this one, but a little concerned that a poor second half could send us into the Purdue game on a flat note. 

[LamarCheeks]

Jeezus -- the Minny gal just shoved Garzon out of the way -- poking her in the eye -- before making that bucket. Refs totally missed it. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

64-48 with 5:10 remaining.  

[LamarCheeks]

Scalia lost her shot again. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Getting beat on the boards again.  Minny 36 (14 offensive)               IU 29 (7 offensive)

Although we jumped out to a quick double digit lead, it's been Mack and Sydney that carried us the entire game.  Not sure what happened to our supporting cast.                 

[LamarCheeks]

She just found it!

[ellen.walden]

Too many turnovers.

Second half wasn't pretty but we get the win 77-54 and await the Sunday visit from PUke.

Pts:  Mack 28; Parrish 23; Scalia 10                        51% FG; 36% on 3s; 78% FT

Reb:  Sydney 8; Yarden and Grace each with 5; Mack and Scalia each with 4

Asst:  Grace 9; Yarden 5                     21 assists on 31 made FG

Sydney and Lilly both fouled out tonight.   We were careless with the ball and had 17 TOs.

[LamarCheeks]

As strange as it sounds, a very unsatisfying 23-point win. 

Very sloppy second half. Hope that doesn't carry over into Laff-a-lot.

At Purdue Sunday….not sure what to expect from IU Ladies and Purdue licking their chops lot of opportunities from this scouting report of IU Ladies.  
Everything will fall under the umbrella of Mental Focus/toughness. 

[Todd41]

Had to watch delayed as had work commitments. Looked like we were too carefree with the ball. Hopefully we got this out of our system as we do not have any games left this season that we will be able to get a way with this style.

Best news of night is BTN+ is no more after that debacle with those announcers! Every game going forward in both the regular and postseason will be on normal TV from here on out!

I also think everyone is being a bit harsh on the team. It was indeed far from their best performance but it is hard to get completely motivated against a terrible team in a sleepy arena on a week night. I am sure the Hoosiers will play well and bring the 100% effort needed in their final six games against much tougher competition just as they have against every other good squad they have played so far this season.

Go to 12:30 for start of presser

Go to the 15:10 mark.

Mac and Sydney are asked about Sara Scalia coming back to Minnesota. Holmes starts with platitudes, and then Sydney Parrish follows with a 30 second "I was disappointed in Minnesota fans" speech that amounted to 'don't **** with my teammate'.

Good stuff. Don't **** with Sydney Parrish's teammates.
