IUWBB vs #8 O$U - Thursday, 02.20.25 @ 7:00 on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,336]

Don't have a good feeling about this game.  Doe Eyes are (22-3) (11-3) and 6-3 on the road and it will take a near perfect game from our women to get a win.  They average 80 ppg with a +18 scoring margin.  The average 32.5% on 3s with 6 made/game.  They do have a -2 rebounding margin.   They force 23 TOs/game and 13 steals/game so we absolutely have to take care of the ball.  4 women in double figures with Cotie McMahon 17 ppg their leading scorer.  Chance Gray is their highest volume 3-point shooter and she makes 35% of them.  Taylor Thierry shoots 44% but only attempts 2/game.  We follow up this game in East Lansing on Sunday.  Including the O$U game, only 4 left in the regular season before the B1G tournament March 5-9.

It's a home game, not at OSU.

And I've got new glasses and still misread it.  Thanks and I've made the necessary correction.

As a home game, I am cautiously optimistic for this one. The UM game was a downer. Time for the gals to pick themselves back up

This is essentially a play-in game for the NCAA Tournament. Win any of the next 3 and you are safely in March Madness as long as you don't trip up against Purdue.

Postseason Scenario's: 

Safely in:

1. Win one of next three games vs. Ohio State, MSU, or Maryland + beat Purdue

2. Win at least two of next three games vs. Ohio State, MSU, or Maryland + lose Purdue

Bubble:

1. Lose next three and beat Purdue 

2. Win one of next three games vs. Ohio State, MSU, or Maryland + lose Purdue

Out without run in Big Ten Tourney:

1. Lose all remaining regular season games

Biggest win of the season

Hoosiers at home. Need the win. I think this one is gettable. Moren will have them ready. Yarden neeeds to be “on” tonight in her jekyl and Hyde couple games. Let’s defend the hall ladies!

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,878]

Sydney!!!!   Good start, ladies!

[JerryYeagley23 4,885]

Great start. Man I wish Moren could work with the men’s team on press break. Four easy layups just busting the press to start the game. Let’s keep the foot on the gas ladies!

The coaching difference couldn’t be more obvious.

Totally forgot this was on.

[JerryYeagley23 4,885]

Awesome. 

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,878]

Great Defense to end the quarter!  

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,878]

Well, this stinks all of a sudden.  

[JerryYeagley23 4,885]

Not awesome. 

[OliviaPope40 6,969]

Have to be aware of the shot clcok.

[LamarCheeks 20,628]

Looks like we found our shooting stroke again. 

Hope I didn't jinx us ... 

[LamarCheeks 20,628]

That's not a charge. 

You gotta give her room to land. 

[JerryYeagley23 4,885]

Man, that half was like two different teams to start and to finish. Great toughness. 

[LamarCheeks 20,628]

Strong finish to the half, but CMM picks up a third foul right before the break. 

Gotta be careful in the second 20 minutes.
