We need a big bounce back win to wash the taste of the Iowa loss and get ready for next Sunday's game in West Laffy.  Minnesota (13-3) (3-2). The Gophers have beaten PUke (60-58), Michigan (82-66) and Nebraska (62-58).  They've lost to Iowa at Iowa City (94-71) and at home to Maryland (72-64).

Pivotal game tonight….as almost every game throughout the regular season is pivotal for IU Ladies.  Parity within the conference = IU Ladies could win or lose each game thru the rest of season.  Just looking to see a long stack of IU Ladies A games and a top 2 or 3 finish.

What is with our mens and womens teams and guarding the 3-point line?

[LamarCheeks]

The announcer for this game is brutal. 

"Three ball on the way. ... Oh, that's wet." 

Sigh ... 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Dunk that, Mack!!!

LOL!

Eyelashes is hot tonight!

[LamarCheeks]

Waited too long to attack.

Need to get at least one shot off with the chance for a rebound at the end of a quarter. 

23-18 after 10 minutes.

Never thought you would miss the BTN+ college announcers

Minny now 5-5 on 3s and I believe Austin Render said on the radio that Minny is undefeated when they make 8 in a game.

[LamarCheeks]

Another gem: "Mackenzie Holmes has showed up and is showing out." 

Huh? 

[LamarCheeks]

We've had some sweet fast breaks tonight.

Garzon playing a stellar floor game thus far (middle of quarter 2)

"Scalia gets it into Garzon," announcer says as Sara dumps it down to Mack.

Environmental conditions do make a difference 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Minnesota is one of the toughest teams in the Big Ten defensively as the Gophers allow the second fewest PPG (59.0) and the lowest opponent FG% (38%).  #iuwbb is shooting 61.3% from the field and is on pace for 94 points in a conference game.
