Talia Goodman - With Toledo’s loss yesterday in their conference tournament, ESPN’s bracketology now has #iuwbb facing Chattanooga in the first round.

[Banksyrules 4,802]

It's almost time.  Let's hope for a good draw.

[LIHoosier 26,205]

Goal 1: Get a 4 seed so the 1st 2 games are in Bloomington.

Goal 2: Don't have South Carolina as the 1 seed in your region.

[LIHoosier 26,205]

Goal 1: Check

Goal 2: Wrong

[LamarCheeks 18,943]

Welp -- we're with the Gamecocks.

Well, we got Goal 1 at least. 

 

Don't like this draw at all.

I don’t care what level you play at 31-1 is not nothin’.

[Banksyrules 4,802]

We have to be on fire from the three.

One game at a time.

What a weirdly random coincidence THIS is.

[Alford Bailey 12,386]

Better not be thinking about South Carolina. A better team didn’t make it out of Bloomington last year.

[OliviaPope40 6,518]

Man this bracket draw sheesh.

Sara is a lovely gal -- but those colors just don't do her justice. This is much better!

Who gets upset?  Who is the surprise?

Basically impossible to reach an Elite 8 this year but a Sweet Sixteen is definitely possible.

Personally, I can deal with Indiana women's consistently being a 6 seed or better basically every year and going to some Sweet 16s with a threat of an Elite 8. Get to that consistency and all good. Especially for a program that essentially has zero history.

IU Ladies Basketball currently are sustaining a healthy proud fun accomplished program.  If (and a big if) IU Ladies are healthy….T. Moren and staff are very good at game strategy in tournaments.  Examples:  NIT wins, NC State win, Texas win, South Carolina win in Paradise Jam.  Can IU Ladies click on all cylinders for how many of 6 games?

Couple comments following last night's selection.

Holmes on her health: “I’m feeling a lot better. This past week I’ve been able to get some much-needed rest… I’ve been practicing.” Moren: “It’s been a good week for all of us, especially Mackenzie.”

Holmes says she's feeling a lot better with her knee now than she was this time last season -- she's been able to do everything in practice now, compared to participating in 1-2 practices leading up to the Miami game last year.
