Chloe McNeil-Moore not taking wide open shots is more of a concern than Bargessar passing up one.

[LamarCheeks]

Probably wouldn't have made a difference but still ... 

I go back to when we were up 15-9. We were really clicking on offense and were getting defensive stops. 

Then CTM pulled Mack. I know she needs a blow every and now and then, but the timing was really odd. 

Really took us out of our rhythm. Never got it back.

She had made nine 3s in a row coming in. That's why I don't get her reluctance to shoot. 

[LamarCheeks]

Why are we fouling?

She has looked out of sorts the whole game and not just on passing up shots.

Just need to focus on the Big 10 tournament and trying to host for the 1st weekend

[LamarCheeks]

Again: Why are we fouling? 

[Todd41]

We should have just ran out the clock. The 20-point loss is going to hurt even more to an unranked team.

 

[TheWatShot]

Guess we felt like losing by 20 instead of 16.

I got locked out of my home and when I get in I see this.  This is my fault.

Your house did not want you to throw items around the rooms so it kept you out.  You must have one of those "smart" homes.

Short of beating Iowa, I don't see IU hosting the first weekend. 

[TheWatShot]

I can't shake the feeling Clark is going to drop 40+ on us Thursday night, we'll get blown out again and we'll end up as a 5 or 6 seed. That just doesn't compute given how good we were a year ago and how well this season has gone up until now. 

[LamarCheeks]

This team just doesn't seem to be very mentally tough. 

To use a terrible cliche, when we get punched in the mouth -- we don't respond. 

 

[TTT]

Illinois gave IU problems last year at IU but IU was able to win.

Weaknesses exposed and lack of mid range game both offensively and also defensively allowing opponents getting to rim for layups.

Guard quickness that is good IU Ladies have difficulty containing them.  And no help from L.M., J.L., Or L.B. part of the near future of IU Ladies Basketball.

Lacking team physicality (except for Holmes).  

 

[Todd41]

Maryland beat Illinois by 16 on the road last Sunday.  We cannot afford to lose to Iowa and Maryland.  That would give us a 1-3 (counting today) finish in the regular season.

Good thing I missed this game didn't have today off.

People, people, people.  I left you unsupervised this afternoon so I could play Grandpa and this is how you pay me back!

Read the thread and the box score and not much more to be said.  Simply have to have our shite together Thursday night.

Syd played but only 6 minutes.  Was that the plan?  Did she re-injure her foot?  Was she physically not ready?  Anybody have any answers or thoughts?

Watching Parrish play briefly whether called ready or not….an unchallenged rebound but definitely not impactful.

She was a bit slow but did not look the foot was bothering her.
