IUWBB vs PUke - Saturday, 02.15.25 @ Noon on BTN

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,408]

Not happy with how the 3rd Q ended.  It was 63-32 with about 5 min. left in the Q and the Q ends with Hoosiers leading 67-45.  

[LamarCheeks 20,677]

Meister gets off a nice turnaround at the buzzer. 

We're up 67-45 after 30 minutes.  

Though it's a 22-point lead -- feels like it should be a lot more. 

[LamarCheeks 20,677]

Three minutes in and we have not scored this quarter. 

Still up by 20, but play has been very sloppy. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,408]

You can get by with scoring droughts against teams like PUke but we have too many and it costs us.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,408]

Win today gives us another .5 point in the Governor's Cup and we hold a 7-2 lead

[LamarCheeks 20,677]

A dozen in a row over the Toiletmakers. 

Looked good in the first 20 minutes. In the second 20? Not so good. 

Obviously, never close to losing -- but we were up by 31 at one point and could've built on that. But we went backward. 

Always good to beat the PUs, though.

First Half Score IU 48

Purdue 22

IU projection at 96 after first half = 78

IU Ladies lost second half…only scored 30 points….should have at least won second half….and scored at least 35 to 50.

Purdue projection at 44= 56  ok

At Purdue may not be easy.  IU Ladies cannot succumb to pressure of the game.

I grew up in the 2000's when we never beat Purdue and if we did, it was a big story. It hasn't been the greatest season, but when it comes to beating Purdue, I'll never get tired of this.

Purdue's 2000 team had one of the best women's player to come out of my high school who not only won a title in college but also won a WNBA title. Could've had a high school championship but got beat in the semi state. She also won the first Jimmy V ESPY award.

At some point we'll be saying this about the men's team

And I grew up in the 70's-80's when... oh never mind
