L.M. (and T. Moren should have known this) has always been limited for big ten upper echelon talent. It was mainly hoping.  She is adequate in backup role at this level.  Last night and other games this year IU Ladies spot Illinois and other teams 5 to 7 or 8 points at the start of game because of L.M. post play.  
Then, leading to a question, though she has some limitations as well is how much better would Striplin be in a starting role and IU Ladies be.  

I get it T.  Moren or coaching staff showing loyalty to the L.M. and may have talked to both players about this.  Overall, Striplin is just the better player.

I would agree Striplin is probably the better player but neither her or Lily is really a starting level center in this league as you said. Based on her comments, I think Moren's patience with Lily is wearing thin and we will see if a change is made.

Regarding Parrish:  just a general statement.  coming out of high school ranked # 8 at a 98 per ESPN.  That is strong.  At Oregon as a freshman was used as a spot up shooter.  At IU her game has been extensively expanded.  (Increases injury risk…she is a rough talented player). She is a great all around player and her past years at IU she had help.  
It’s hard for her this year with her very high competitive attitude level and talent level with less around her and plus in reality playing with injury.  She will probably ( high %) be fine and successful after graduation.  It would have been great to see her during her final year at almost 100% (she is not).  Wish her the best.

I did not watch the 3rd or forth quarters did not watch the rest of the 2nd quarter.

I would hardly say it's depressing to be a fan of IU women's basketball right now. Frustrating, considering we're not close to where we were 2 years ago, sure, but hardly depressing. 

 

Also, couldn't help but notice that all but one of your posts this season have been after a loss. 

Don't worry . . . . be happy.
