Hope we can find a way. We will be there on Saturday if we can win!

USC is beatable and regardless of what the score ends up being IU Ladies are capable of winning.

[TTT 1,196]

All the foul trouble some of the IU Ladies should be loose by playing but also rested.

[DSUMMITT 203]

Hope we jump on them early. For them it's a 9am start time really plus new arena and first game - we have a game under our belts

Need to avoid foul trouble and not waste possessions. Last time, the game turned when we royally screwed up the end of the third quarter. 

[HoosierHoopster 7,710]

Should be a good game regardless of outcome. Our ladies are ready and should be dancing --

Need a hot start. Get the crowd into it. Stay out of foul trouble. We are NOT the 9-seed USC was hoping to see, especially in Indy. Let’s go ladies!

Shoot that thang really, really well.

That's how we are when we are really, really good.

[LamarCheeks 21,189]

We are getting hammered on the glass so far. 

Not boxing out. 

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,947]

Don't know if they can keep it up, but they are fighting at both ends so far!

[JerryYeagley23 5,006]

They have a TON of length. We can’t get sucked into the high pressure and take long twos in the lane that get blocked or tipped. I like our movement and back cutting to get easy buckets. The threes will come. Good start. 

[LamarCheeks 21,189]

Announcer made me laugh -- claimed not enough has been said about what Meister brings to the floor. 

She did a great job of running the floor on that last bucket, but TBH -- she's been somewhat disappointing this season. 

Any positive minutes, though -- we'll gladly take. 

[LamarCheeks 21,189]

We gotta be more careful with our passes. 

SC is so big and athletic -- they can challenge every one. 

[DSUMMITT 203]

Love our fight. But jeez stop playing defense Ju Ju!!!!! 

As long as we fight like this for 4 qtrs - I like our chances. Go Hoosiers!

[LamarCheeks 21,189]

This is one of those games where I don't want to say we have to be perfect -- but we can't afford any slip-ups. 

A USC player made a bad pass and it went right through Syd's hands. She's gotta grab that. 

We gotta take advantage of absolutely everything we can. 

[JerryYeagley23 5,006]

Striplin missed a couple bunnies at the rim. Switching Bargesser to guarding JuJu seemed questionable. Chloe was doing well on her. Three ball isn’t there yet. Down five. Good news is, no foul trouble. Got to keep it close heading into the half. We’ve had trouble in 2nd quarters this year. 

[JerryYeagley23 5,006]

Not a good lineup to start the quarter.

[Stuhoo 86,249]

USC is so so good.

We will not back down or give in.

They are so much bigger and stronger than our "poor little girls".
