IUWBB vs PUke - Saturday, 02.15.25 @ Noon on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,348]

Brutal loss at Michigan and too much like many of the men's games.  Collapse in the final minutes.  PUke (9-15) (2-11) 1-6 in road games should be an easy win on paper.  But, that's not always the case.  The Toiletmakers average just 64 ppg vs their opponents 74 ppg.  They average 32% on 3s.  They have a -2 rebounding margin and average 17 TOs/gm.  Destini Lombard at 10.5 is their only double digit scorer.  She and Ella Collier both average 42% on 3s but each takes less than 4 attempts/game.  Reagan Bass is their best rebounder at 5.3/gm.  Lana McCarthy at 4.8 is next.  Amiyah Reynolds is a freshman guard averages 15 min./game and is a sister to '26 Steven Reynolds III who holds an IU offer but regardless of who our coach is, this kid is never going to come to IU.  The family is full of the PUke virus.  Mila Reynolds (a junior) is a sister who has been out all year with an injury.  The rematch is set for March 2, in West Laffy.

Syd not wearing the knee brace today. 

Not sure if she wore it at Michigan or not. Didn't see that game. 

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

Good start: 10-2 not even 3 minutes in. 

PU takes a timeout. 

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,878]

First game Men or Women in a while that I've been able to watch live!  LFG, LADIES!  Good start!

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

18-2. 

This could get ugly. 

Uglier. 

 

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

20-2 and the PUs need another timeout. 

Not even 5 minutes in. 

Yikes -- our little sisters to the north are not good. 

[TheWatShot 14,781]

Going by the eyeball test, Purdue is the worst team in the conference. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,348]

Great start after a brutal road trip.  30-10 Hoosiers lead.  6 players have already scored.  PUke already with 7 TO.

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

30-10 after 10 minutes. 

Our best first quarter all season. 

Very balanced scoring. Nobody in double digits. 

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

We're up by 22 with 6-plus minutes left in the second quarter. 

Analyst trying really hard to speak well of those gals to the north -- but it ain't easy. 

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

Poor Meister -- just blew about an easy bunny as you can get. 

God bless her, but something about her just ain't right this season. 

[TheWatShot 14,781]

Meister might be better off going to a MAC school for her last year. Just seems in over her head here. 

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

Parrish drains a bomb at the buzzer to give us a 48-22 lead at the break. 

We end the half on an 8-0 run. 

Syd with 15 points; Garzon with 12.

"Eyelashes" had me nervous in the Pregame Show when she said she'd never lost to Puke, but I guess it was okay since she knocked on wood!  

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,348]

Well this is certainly fun.

[LIHoosier 27,135]

C'mon, put 100 on them

[TTT 1,114]

IU Ladies playing less tired today.

It would be great but I suspect there's still a bit of a soft spot in CTM's heart for her alma mater and if it happens it happens but she won't deliberately try to run up of the score.  She'll leave that up to Coach Cig.

[LamarCheeks 20,652]

PUs on 13-0 run. 

We're still up by 18. 

I'd like to be up by more. 

Just because.
