Holmes a nice little pre season first game outing.

In 21 minutes 

4 for 5 fgs and a ft = 9 points and 8 rebounds.

Good for MacKenzie Holmes.

IU Ladies and the Holmes era just a normal play in a day at the office.

Mackenzie waived.

If a pro career isn't in the cards for her, I'd be more than happy to see her in an assistant's role for IUWBB.

I think the WNBA is pretty worthless--I could not tell you the teams' names and don't care who wins. April Reese said she did not make enough money to pay her rent. I think it's a mistake to regard it as some kind of "benchmark" as to a basketball player's ultimate worth (people talk that way sometimes). I think college basketball is now the ultimate forum for women's basketball (esp. with the new NIL rules). IMHO.

As to Holmes, unbelievable talent. If she wants to continue in B-Ball at some level, I'm sure that will be possible for her. I will remember all the games where IU needed a bucket, and she delivered. Didn't seem possible, but she made it happen. Amazingly deadly shooter around the rim, and played with such determination.

Angel Reese is a moron. She makes 75-80k a year playing basketball that no one watches.
