Women really put it to Maine yesterday and hopefully that quality of play will carry forward.  Southern Indiana's (7-1) only loss was 75-51 to Louisville

Pre-game radio CTM said Syd likely miss couple of more games.  No timetable at all on Lenee.  Surgery has yet to be scheduled and then an unknown period of time for rehab.

Debatable or no not, this is one of those must win games preferably a very solid win with the current active IU Ladies that will play tonight.

[TTT 991]

Good for the IU Ladies that Jules L. continues to come along plus physical, pretty coordinated and can shoot the ball.  Athletic.

Is anyone watching this game? If so how? I have big 10 plus but it says not covered

I’m an USI grad, so I’ll be recusing myself from this thread

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,239]

Hoosiers with a quick start and then poof!   Ended the quarter on a 4+ minute drought and USI made it's last 7-9 shots and it's tied 17-17 after 1Q.  6 TOs in the quarter didn't help.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,239]

USI on a 20-5 run and lead 26-19 with 7 min. left to halftime.

[TTT 991]

The Minnesota State Screaming Eagles and Coach.  Is Hayden Fox in the house?

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,239]

We're now under 30% FG shooting for the game and just 2-12 in the 2nd Q.  Trail 33-24 with just over 3 min. left in the 2nd Q

I’m just in a basketball funk, not really as fanatical as I have been.

[TheWatShot 14,176]

USI is 82 in the NET rankings, placing them ahead of Rutgers, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Purdue. 

 

I know Syd being out doesn't help, but I still can't believe how bad we are offensively. 

[TheWatShot 14,176]

Down 13 at the half. Looking like another rough night. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,239]

USI leading 42-29 at halftime and the odor in SSAH is getting pretty bad.  Hoosiers just 31% FG;  27% on 3s;  5-10 FT (Lexi 1-6).  Yarden just 2-8 FG and Jules 1-7.   Meanwhile, USI is 57% FG and 75% on 3s (6-8).

 

[TTT 991]

Why did Bargesser change her free throw from that odd looking shot from last year when she shot free throws really well?

[TheWatShot 14,176]

We'll probably win some games against teams better than this, but this is starting to feel like a lost season. 

[TTT 991]

IU Ladies getting out played physically.  Screaming Eagles executing what they want and knocking IU Ladies off balance.

Screaming Eagles moved up to division one last year and would have went to March Madness but are not eligible until year three.  17-1 conference record 2023-24.  Screaming Eagles did go to NIT and lost in second game to Wisconsin.

USI blew a 19 point in the middle 2H, I was at that game…

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,239]

Jules came off and headed to the locker room.  Lordy, we can't afford any more injuries.

[JerryYeagley23 3,698]

Seems like flirting with the injury bug because we only ever go 6 or 7 deep is finally biting us in the butt. My fears that we didnt use our team success to land talent the past few years is looking very real. Losing CMM and Syd this year we might be missing our opportunity and headed back to being irrelevant. Hope we hit the portal hard.
