IUWBB vs Murray State - Friday, 11.17.23 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

2 home games in the next 3 days.  Murray State (1-1) Friday night and Lipscomb Sunday afternoon.  Murray State lost its season opener 82-79 to Arkansas and then defeated Cumberland (TN) 121-63.  I almost feel badly for Murray State because IMO they're going to get a whuppin' similar to the one we got from Stanford.

1:30 into the 3rd Q and Yarden being reviewed for a possible flagrant foul.  She was fouled by an MSU player but Yarden hit the player with an elbow trying to clear space.  After review, there was no foul assessed against Yarden.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Sydney has played just 2 min. in the 3rd Q and I saw a report she came out of the locker room at halftime with her left thigh heavily wrapped.

After 3, Hoosiers lead 85-61.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

After an uncharacteristically poor performance from Mack vs. Stanford, tonight she has 18p; 9r; 3a; 1b.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Lenee Beaumont has taken Sydney's place on the court in the 2nd half.  Has 7p hitting 7-8 FT.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Mack grabbed her 10th rebound and picked up her 21st career double-double.

She definitely had it wrapped up and she is also sitting on a stack of towels. I don't know what happened.

[RaceToTheTop]

Of note -- Murray State women only lost 82-79 at Arkansas earlier and Arkansas was 24-13 last year and advanced pretty far in the WNIT.

[Stuhoo]

Lenee Beaumont is real.

”It factor.”

Get ready for 30+ mpg of Beaumont starting next year, or starting now if Parrish is hurt.

[TTT]

IU Ladies have a lot of upside improving to do, both individually and as a team.

Teri Moren said that Chloe Moore-McNeil — normally more quiet and reserved — called out her teammates after the Stanford game, and used the word "soft."
