IUWBB vs Butler - Wednesday, 11.19.25 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Not a lot of time to savor the huge road win over FSU and prepare for payback for losing 56-46 to Butler last year.  Butler (2-2) will be playing its first road game of the season.  I haven't bothered to doublecheck but my memory tells me Butler's roster is significantly different than it was last year.  In particular, Maya Makalusky's sister, Riley, transferred out and is playing for West Virginia this year.

My good friend and high school teammate's son coaches the Butler women's team. I had lunch with him last week and he said that Butler has a new roster via the portal and if I remember correctly their best player is hurt. Unless we don't show up we should probably be ok.

Line has moved as of an hour ago.  Indiana women's basketball is favored by 14.5 points over Butler tonight at Assembly Hall. O/U 124.5.

[HoosierHoopster]

Hope we throw the hammer down on them

[TTT]

Makalusky needs to find her way into some playing time making a couple shots and rebounds.  IU Ladies are going to need another player with size and can rebound and score as competition increases.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

The usual suspects

[LamarCheeks]

Beaumont is gettin' after it! 

[LamarCheeks]

Maya hits a triple at the buzzer. 

23-7 Hoosiers after 10 minutes. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

  23-7 Hoosiers    Strong opening quarter. 8-13 FG, 4-6 on 3s;  14-6 rebounding advantage.  Beaumont 9 pts.  Biggest negative is 6 TOs.  Makalusky nailed her first 3-pointer of her career.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

4:40 left in the 2nd Q and we lead 31-18.  Lenee 11 pts.

We've already committed 6 fouls in the Q.  Z, Kadlecova and Maya each have 2 fouls.  9 TOs.  3 Butler players also with 2 fouls each.

[LamarCheeks]

Lenee with about a 25-foot banked in 3 to beat the shot clock! 

[HoosierHoopster]

Yeah stick it to them

Maya has 2 fouls but also 5 points. and the bench as a whole is contributing better - good to see

[TTT]

D. DeVries perfect attendance thus far …other athletes including E. Sarratt in attendance.

[TheWatShot]

Well, I think we're going to score more than 46 points this time. 

[LamarCheeks]

She pushed off, then traveled -- but Ciezki got the foul. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Too many fouls and too many TOs, but otherwise a pretty decent half.  Oh, and Lenee was outstanding.

[LamarCheeks]

Lenee with a triple just before the buzzer. 

IU up by 19 after 20 minutes. 

Beaumont  with 19 at the break.
