Nightmare scenario: we end up in the 4 vs. 5 game and play MSU in the BTT.

Only 5 points off the bench.  Granted, Sandvik's three was big.

IU shot 67% overall and 78% inside the arc.

Man,that Mich St squad is a load!

The quickness of the two guards is hard to handle.

I picked a bad lady's game to quit sniffing glue.

Well that ended speculation.  That was a great win.  MSU has lost some close ones.  Did Scalia almost dd?  It would be nice if Garzon could remember to play the first half and it would be great to get Parrish back and playing at full strength before long.  Statement was be back soon about a week ago????

MSU is 19 in NET.  They are a solid team and probably like a 5-6 seed right now in March.

[TheWatShot 13,940]

I'm not sure how MSU isn't ranked. They lost at OSU by 5 and lost at Iowa on a Clark 3 from the logo. They beat Purdue 97-70 just days after we beat Purdue by 6. 

 

Would rather not see them again. They gave us fits last year too.

Yeah, you have no idea how worried I was about an 18-3, #14 ranked team losing a quad 1 game and not making the tournament.

What a god damn beautiful win.

[RaceToTheTop 25,624]

McKenzie Holmes passed Grace Berger as IU's all time winniest player tonight with the win.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,692]

Mackenzie Holmes was asked about breaking scoring record, said that's not her focus this weekend, “I want to beat Purdue, I want to sweep Purdue for my career.”

[OliviaPope40 6,514]

Scalia could shoot free throws in her sleep with 87% from line think she help the men's team

I like how he was projecting a home loss to OSU when we don't even play them at home. Or that's what it sounded like; hard to tell with some of those word salads.

Yep.

home against Purdue (3-8 in conference)

at Wisky (3-8 in conference)

at Illinois (5-7 in conference)

home against Iowa (10-1 in conference)

at Northwestern (3-9 in conference)

home against Maryland (5-7 in conference)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see a pessimist could even see a record worse than 4-2 in the group -- and that's losing at home to Iowa and then getting upset in another game.

That’s right.  Thanks for letting me know that IU Ladies don’t have a home game with OSU Ladies.

Was not projecting anything.  That is your word salad.  My term was speculating.

Lexus played a hell of a game. She is growing up before our eyes!

Well considering IU is three games ahead of fourth and fifth with tiebreakers, it is nearly certain IU will finish with the one, two, or three seed for Big Ten Tourney. Now facing them in the 3-6 or 2-7 game on Friday would indeed be a nightmare and is possible. Hopefully MSU gets the four of five seed and IU can't face them before the weekend.

Great game! Great win!

And there aren't 25 teams better than MSU!
