IUWBB vs Marshall - Tuesday, 11.11.25 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[TTT 1,549]

Like a 1940s-1950s scoreboard.   So do IU Ladies lose by 30 vs Florida State or is this a secret strategy vs Florida State on Sunday.

UCONN lopsided win vs Florida State as would be expected.  Florida State has a couple lopsided wins vs lesser competition.  Transfer from Maryland/Allie Kubek Maryland transfer now playing for FSU.

Maybe, T. Moren could tell Makalusky and team to have Makalusky to shoot the 3 ball 5 times in a row on offense.  She has shot a couple.  Surely she can hit one.

That felt like a high school game. Poor recruiting has caught up with us.

She’s a freshman in her 3rd game. Did you follow her high school career? Lighten up

How high value is that? They keep comparing her to Parrish, who was an admirable role player?

Huh? High value? So what if they compare her to any one- that’s not her problem. She’s a D1 scholarship player, to say she’s not good is simply laughable. She may not be a starter yet, give her time. Your response makes zero sense.

I think we are headed to aa similar season as last year. Maybe slightly worse.  Z and Shay are nice but not overwhelming enough to carry us. The rest of the team is playing like buns.  We don’t really have shot making. Don’t really have playmaking.  Maya and Caffey will be good someday. Not sure it’s soon enough.  Might need Bargesser to press a bit more. Idk.  Trying to see it. I trust Moren for the most part but some one has to step up at some point.

I’m not in the sky is falling camp.  That was a horrendously sloppy game, 28 TO’s. That’s not a norm it’s an outlier. Lots to clean up and part of that is the team learning to play fast. Yeah could be a year where 20 wins is the ceiling, but a 28 TO game is not the yardstick

Here's the final box score in all its ugliness.

We’re not used to watching freshman and sophomores actually play meaningful minutes. It’s going to take time for them to settle down and learn their roles. This game was just awful. The same mistakes were made over and over. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 95,094]

In last night's game, Shay recorded a career high in rebounds (10) and her first career double-double (13 & 10).  Z also with a double-double of 13 & 10.

2 shining lamps in the ugly fog of a game

Makalusky…13 minutes; 2 offensive rebounds and one defensive rebound = 3 rebounds.  Doesn’t sound like much but play her more minutes now = see if confidence will grow and shooting % will improve.  It would give another taller player.  Increase playing time to 26 minutes and from there after 4 or 5 games.  Makalusky is going to end up as a starter somewhere down the road anyway.
