IUWBB vs Penn State - Wednesday, 01.10.04 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,744]

Penn State (10-4) (1-2) Lost to O$U in OT in Columbus and to Michigan State at home.  They kicked Northwestern's butt on Jan. 2, by a score of 95-55.  They will have had 8 days off before making the trip to Bloomington.  This PSU team can put points on the board having gone over the century mark 3 times and scored in the 90's in 4 other games.  They shoot 42% from the 3-point line and on average out-rebound their opponent by 5 boards.

We simply cannot get caught looking ahead to our Saturday showdown in Iowa City.

Important to note their two best players Makenna Marisa and Ashley Owusu are out. Marisa played in OSU game till she got hurt in it very late.

They are not same team since the injury but still a team to be wary of. Northwestern worst team in Big Ten.

Sara Scalia shoots 53% from 3 at home.

Must win game because quite a bit better chance Wednesday than Saturday.  However, two solid wins (definitely should be Wednesday) will move IU at least a couple spots up in the rankings (depending on what others do in front of them).

Good game to handle press pressure in preparation vs O.S.U.

Against Michigan Ohio State press did not look like last year’s press…they had more success vs Northwestern a weaker opponent.

WRTV Indianapolis just stated the hottest game in basketball tonight is in West Lafayette when Caitlin Clark and Iowa come to Mackey arena. 

Reminder:  THERE IS ANOTHER GAME IN A GYM BLOOMINGTON INDIANA STARING THE IU LADY HOOSIERS vs Penn State.

Have to beat Iowa to quiet the noise.

No mention of IU Ladies vs Penn State….pathetic.

Chump closes out with join us at 11:00 with Purdue vs Iowa and Caitlin Clark comments.

Sounds like Marisa may give it a go.  This from Amanda Foster -

Penn State's leading scorer, Makenna Marisa (17.2 ppg), is warming up for the Nittany Lions right now. She's been out for the past four games. The last time the two teams matched up (last year, Indiana won 67-58) she played all 40 minutes with 12 pts and 7 rebounds.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,744]

Reportedly this is Mack's 100th career start and she's 193 points away from Tyra Buss' career scoring record.

[LamarCheeks 18,922]

Syd out of the starting lineup. 

(Forgot to take out her earrings). 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,744]

Just announced Mack named to the Mid-Season Top 25 for the Wooden Award

[Todd41 723]

Both teams playing poorly so far

[LamarCheeks 18,922]

Sloppy start for both teams: PSU has 7 turnovers; we have 6. 

Nits up 21-17 after 10 minutes. 

[TTT 949]

Penn State guards are driving penetrating and playing quicker on defense 

[TTT 949]

IU Ladies are hesitant on 3 ball this far.

[TheWatShot 13,999]

Not looking too sharp. Hope we weren't looking ahead to this weekend. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,744]

Just like last night's first half ended.  Damn.

[mamasa 15,301]

This team needs an oomph. Love the players, feel like we’re about 70% the team we were last year. 

[TTT 949]

IU Ladies do not look fast nor quick tonight and playing not to lose vs playing to win.  Confidence unsure of themselves, lack of intensity unlike Penn State who looks fresh and better team in first half.

Penn State guards are killing IU Ladies.

[Todd41 723]

Let's see half time adjustments bear fruit. 

[LamarCheeks 18,922]

Playing two steps slow and not to lose. 

 

 

[Todd41 723]

Really feels like we do not want to win.
