IUWBB vs Brown - Monday, 11.04.24 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,564]

Anticipate a blowout win for our Hoosiers.  Last year Brown's  record was 16-11 FWIW.  We know Fenn is out for the year but will we see our other walking wounded, i.e., Bargesser, Beaumont and Parrish?

Reports are Lenee Beaumont currently on the floor testing her left knee out, she's got a brace on and white sleeve over that, working with assistant coach Ali Patberg.

[Stuhoo 79,329]

Suffocating defense by IU in the 1st quarter. 15-5 IU.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,564]

18-7 Hoosier lead after 1.  7 different IU women have scored.   14-7 rebounding edge and as Stu noted, defense limited Brown to 3-16 FG.

Meister looks so smooth.

What a beautiful shooting stroke

That's a tribute to our staff and her work in the off-season.  I watched a lot of her high school games and because of her height she rarely ever played away from the basket.

Shay C seems like an awesome player but she isn’t Sarah Scalia. I miss watching her play.

We look a bit rough overall. I think the 3 point shooting will improve but an overall sloppy 1st half. Moren is going to have to work. Lots of good players.

39-21 Halftime lead. 

Pts:  Parrish 9; Striplin 7; Garzon 6         48% FG     23% on 3s            Brown:  29% FG    21% on 3s

Reb:  Parrish 7             22-15 rebounding edge.  

Every player in the game thus far has scored and every player but Sandvik has at least 1 rebound.

She’s a whole lot chippier than Scalia and doesn’t have that hair trigger super outside stroke.

Feels a lot like watching the Purdoo men. Offense is a lot tougher when no one draws a double team.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,564]

Certainly didn't bring our A game tonight and Brown keeps hanging around but we hold a 60-44 lead after 3.

Pts:  Striplin 17; Parrish 12; Meister 11; Garzon 9

Reb:  Parrish 8; Striplin 5; Meister 4             30-19 advantage

2024-25 version of IU Ladies is to watch team overcome some injury issues and enjoy how much this particular team can grow and develop.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,564]

4 players now with double digit scoring and Parrish just got a double-double with 18 pts and 10 reb.   70-49 with 6:42 left.   

Looking ahead, Bargesser on crutches is very worrisome as is concern for Beamont and is her injury just a game or two blip or something that’s going to be a season long issue and impact her availability.

Thursday night we host Harvard who is hosting UMass tonight and leads 21-15 midway through the 2nd Q.

 

[Stuhoo 79,329]

Of note: nothing against LaMendola or Sandvik, but we’re missing two of our three best bench players tonight.

As good as Meister and Striplin have been, Scalia is a more noticeable missing piece tonight.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,564]

Final score 82-60.

Pts:  Parrish 20; Striplin 17; Garzon 16; Meister 13           51% FG   25% on 3s    85% FT

Reb:  Parrish 10; Meister 6; Striplin 5             40-26 advantage

Asst:  Chloe 5; Shay 4; Garzon 3            20 assists on 30 made field goals. 

We had 11 steals and Brown had 18 TOs.        We had 18 TOs. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,780]

This team needs to lean on CMM, Parrish, and Garzon.

I’m confident Shay will be better. Can’t be much worse. She knew it. I think she’ll be fine.

Definitely gonna miss Scalia and Holmes, but we should be solid.

Scalia was great especially her last year.  However, I remember it was not always easy her first year including some shooting inconsistency especially at the beginning.

Definitely not a happy camper!

Teri Moren: 'It bothers me that we don't have more pride. It bothers me that I have to go into halftime and have a conversation about being more disciplined. ... If you don' t nip it in the bud, if you don't clean those things up, you're going to get your @$$ beat."

"Our clear advantage was on the inside" and they settled for way too many outside shots in the first half, shouldn't take a full half to make that correction, also calls out "careless" turnovers.  I felt like we went rogue"

"Definitely not the way I wanted to open the season, a win sure, this performance tonight won't win you any Big Ten game"   

Indiana women's basketball coach Teri Moren: "I have a tremendous amount of patience" and she thought about this being team's first game, but "it's just unacceptable to me that we gave up 11 threes, it bothers me that we don't have more pride"

"I'd be lying if I told you I was at all pleased with any of that tonight"

She ain't wrong.  It didn't look like typical Teri Moren basketball.  I was chalking it up to the new roster but I think she is right.  Especially with the careless turnovers.
