IUWBB vs Fairfield - Saturday, 03.23.24 @ 1:30 on ESPN2

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,771]

Our #4 seed Hoosiers open March Madness against #13 seed Fairfield (31-1).   The line earlier in the week favored us by 23.5 points.  I don't care who you are if you went 31-1 you're not a slouch and I surely hope we don't take them lightly.

Only 1 upset in the women's tournament thus far as #11 Middle Tennessee State defeated #6 Louisville 71-69.

Pre-game presser; Mack is a 100% flat out full go.

Parrish and Meister are still a bit limited but also a full go.

Let’s GOOOOOOOO

That’s pretty fun too! Dad can dvr the ballgame but not the car shopping invitation. Sounds like an A+ day!

50/50 on the car and she pays the insurance (20 years old w full coverage, ouch). Figured she’s had a job since 16 and lives on her own, give her a little fun money:)

Good for you and her. Kudos. Always tough to know how much to help.

Fairfield shoot 30+ 3 ball and dribble penetrate.

Concerned about how we start this game. 15 days between games is an eternity. Last year after that layoff it took us the whole first quarter to shake off the rust and get going. I wish the Big Ten tournament wasn't so early.

I agree, but at least it gave Mack time to heal hopefully.

Packed house. The Hall is amped.

Good Lord!  I'm worn out just watching this fast, paced, game!

[Stuhoo 79,488]

Fairfield is selling out to guard the three point line.

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,583]

Did they not show us the free throw on the 3?

If Lex could just develop a shot -- she could be a very dangerous offensive player. 

She's a fantastic ball-handler and has quickness and speed few can match.
