IUWBB @ Ohio State - Sunday, 02.04.24 @ Noon on FS1

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,800]

Last night, Wisky played O$U (18-3) (9-1) tough in the first half trailing 31-26 at the break.  Second half was all Buckeyes winning 87-49.  Hoosiers cannot afford to get off to a slow start.  Although it won't help us Sunday, some positive sounding news from Sydney in the tweet below.

I have no inside info but would be shocked if Parrish plays for at least a week or two. Very rare to go from crutches one game to on the court the next.

Agreed. By mid-March at 100% is the goal that really matters. 100% for the home game against Iowa on 2/22 would be kinda nice.

A few of Parrish teammates have referred to her tweet and I think Parrish will be back within a week (Michigan State game) maybe (Purdue at the latest)….and at full strength later part of February.  Getting near clearance to play.

Wish she could be back this weekend. I don't like the thought of facing the OSU press while missing a key guard. 

[TTT 1,061]

Day to day is consistent with Parrish back for Ohio State as possibility 

[TTT 1,061]

Starting Sunday early IU vs Ohio State could be for first place as there is a legitimate chance that Maryland will beat Iowa.

Iowa 93.  Maryland 85.  
 

OSU VS IU playing for a share of first place.

To no one's great surprise, Sydney is listed as 'Out' on the game day availability report.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,800]

What in the name of all that is Hoosier is going on?  If Lexi isn't 100% today, we are in deep doo doo.

Chloe Peterson -

Lexus Bargesser doesn’t have a boot on during warmups, but she’s standing off to the side during shooting drills. Also, Sydney Parrish is off crutches, using just a walking boot.

Now the good news is that Lexi's not at all listed on the availability report.  Sydney and Currie-Jelks are 'Out'; Wisne is 'Doubtful'.

Should have dug a little deeper.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,800]

Guess they'd like to see some good basketball.  Wonder what they talked about on the drive over?

Drive? lol, Presidents don't road trip

[Stuhoo 83,879]

This game doesn’t trend well for IU.

That’s okay… we’re playing for the end of the season. Let’s be 100% before then.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,595]

No more boot for Lexus for shootouts

Syd isn’t using crutches anymore 

[LamarCheeks 20,267]

Kel'el Ware -- leg/ankle injury

Xavier Johnson -- foot injury (twice)

Malik Reneau -- ankle injury

Syd Parrish -- injured leg/ankle

Lexus Bargesser -- some sort of foot/ankle injury 

 

What is it with our basketball programs and lower body injuries!!! Let's retire that damn walking boot!!!

They are very athletic right?  This matchup will be tough for our girls. Hope we shoot the 3 ball well. Interesting matchup. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,595]

Underwhelming crowd so far

They have one woman who is a beast getting to the rim.

Ohio State press is not last year’s press.  But it can get a team sped up and out of sink.  long as IU Ladies handle pressure and MacMan.
