2024 B1G Women's Basketball Tournament

[TTT 875]

It is near 100% more difficult with what happened within a couple minutes of one another on Sunday.  (IU at OSU was very winnable game losing by 5).  Beyond Iowa as favorite; Maryland, Penn State,  Michigan, and Nebraska, it’s wide open. From near 100% more difficult with Ohio State out it’s still going to be 90% more difficult.

If IU plays small ball with Garzon in middle for extended period expect guards to do alot of digging.  Michigan could answer with 3 ball.  Extended minutes how long does it take for Garzon to get 2 fouls?  Maybe, Lilly can play (T. Moren said Lilly sprain was significant).  Rebounding for IU Ladies took a big hit and expect 3 point shooters to be covered due to unavailability of effectively going into Homes. 
Difficult for IU Ladies, again.

Plus at start of season T.Moren said she needed the freshman to grow up quickly to make impact.  Maybe, Jules and/or Lenee could be an unknown impact (meaning some points, rebounds and solid floor game) though it would be a pleasant surprise for IU Ladies.

Looks like Good News video:  Lilly looks ready to go.

Think Mack is gonna give it a go tonight. Hopefully limit the minutes based on score of the game.

I see Bluder still plays her starters up 30+ in the 4th quarter of what should be a 3 day stretch. Bold choice.

#2 Iowa 95, #7 Penn State 62

Back to chalk. 

Winner plays (hopefully) us tomorrow -- about 4:30 p.m. ET or so

Lid on the bucket. 

Very flat without Mack. 

[Todd41 708]

Haven't seen so few buckets since 3-4 grade games.

This is how upsets happen…hopefully not

[LamarCheeks 17,744]

Not the prettiest of first quarters, but we're up 12-9 after 10 minutes. 

[TheWatShot 13,582]

Thought we would have seen Mack by now. I'm getting the feeling she won't play tonight. Winning this game will be a lot tougher without her, and no chance we can keep up with Iowa if she's out tomorrow. 

[Demo 19,382]

Prime example of a coach getting too cute by half: IU is getting nothing done in their halfcourt offense so the UM HC decides to bust out a press for a possession which IU breaks no problem and Scalia gets an uncontested 3. 

[TheWatShot 13,582]

Man, this rim hates us. 

[Home Jersey 6,247]

Garzon is tough as nails. 

[LamarCheeks 17,744]

Announcer says CMM doesn't get enough credit for her defense. 

She made the B1G's all-defensive team. 

[TTT 875]

T. Moren playing planned strategy street ball toughness with guard quickness and ball handling and defense….something like Bob Knight would scheme up.

[theriverpilot 5,589]

Those last 2 possessions were joy to watch 

[Home Jersey 6,247]

Great active hands on defense and way to run the floor Lily! 

She is already good. She will be really good next year.

[mamasa 15,115]

These announcers are so hard to listen to 

[TheWatShot 13,582]

Well, we almost got through the first half without seeing Caitlin Clark.

She’s good foot athleticism  away from being a great college player. And she might get there without it.
