Feeding inside is probably the best strategy right now. Seems like easy buckets. Just guard the perimeter well. 

[Banksyrules 4,712]

This is excellent experience for Meister. If we are lucky to face S. Carolina in good form this experience might come back to help us.

Syd looks like she's been working on her tan with the time off.

[HoosierAloha 30,067]

The Hoosiers are settling in and finding that next level of defensive intensity which is leading to easy and early offense.

I don't think struggling in the first quarter is concerning enough to get away from your game plan with Mack. We've had a few plays where it looks like players are trying to do too much. We'll settle in and blow this wide open.

The point is Mack is obviously hurt to where they have a plan to bench her no matter what the outcome is against this team. If she was truly healthy enough, she would have been in. Looks like she isn’t playing regardless

Both teams starting to play like their seeds

We've seen this movie before where we take control in the latter minutes of the 2nd Q.  Key is to maintain control in the opening minutes of the 3rd Q.

Ship righted.  Hopefully Holmes either gets a little more healthy and can play next game or IU wins the next one and Holmes can heal in a week.  If that happens, probably helps to get some of our bench some time in this kind of game.

[Stuhoo 80,438]

Gonna need Mack, and soon.

But it’s great to see Meister get minutes, 

and this is Geary’s best game as a Hoosier

What concerns me is if Mack is not healthy enough to play in the 1st quarter while we are struggling,

I was responding to your above comment about being concerned she didn't enter the game because we were struggling. The team needed to settle down and do what they do with Mack available or not. We weren't going to lose the game in the first quarter.

I don't know how injured Mack is or what the plan is for her return. I do know that struggling in the first quarter in the opening round game against a 16 seed doesn't require us to panic and play Mack if that's not the plan.

First half has to be a real confidence booster for Lilly.

[RaceToTheTop 25,481]

Nice spark from Bargessesr.

[Stuhoo 80,438]

Anyone that busts on female announcers should hear these two. Professional and insightful.

Beautiful ball movement for the corner 3 by Garzon

But the play by play one called our building the Simon Skjodt Assembly Center. Her best grade is a D+.

[Stuhoo 80,438]

I’m not all that sure that Tenn Tech is gonna score a whole lot more.

I was thinking the same thing.  These two don't bother me, but the one last night and the one that sometimes does the Cubs just hurt my ears.
