IUWBB @ Wisky - Wednesday, 02.04.26 @ 7:30 ET on B1G+

Bummer.  We have missed two easy layups.

But no third quarter curse :)

[LamarCheeks]

Well -- not the usual third-quarter swoon. 

But ... 

We had a 12-point lead, then got sloppy. 

Ciezki tries about a 40-foot one-handed pass that got picked off. That's followed by a Bucky 3. And Bucky has a defensive breakdown, giving Beau a wide-open layup as the quarter clock winds down and ... she misses it. 

Still we're winning, and that's like better than losing. 

[NatHillIV]

Austin says the appeal ain't gonna' work.

[TTT]

A not very good IU Ladies win over a not very good Wisky Ladies = a not very good IU Ladies team even though a road win at Wisky Ladies is the best win of the season for the not very good IU Ladies.

[LamarCheeks]

These B1G-plus Network shifting camera angles are making me dizzy. 

Just keep the shot from center court. 

Don't need to show the person who scored running up the court. That serves no purpose. 

[LamarCheeks]

And there goes our lead. 

63-61 Bucky with 3:27 to go. 

Beau missed a couple WIDE-OPEN 3s. 

How will we respond???

[NatHillIV]

24-10 run by Wisky

[LamarCheeks]

Ciezki with HUGE back-to-back 3s. 

With an and-1 on the second -- for a four-point play. 

[LamarCheeks]

IU up 72-71 with 38 seconds to go. 

Hold on! 

[LamarCheeks]

Big step-thru bucket from Shay. 

But Bucky answers 

74-73 IU with 17 seconds to go. We have possession. 

Entertaining game. 

[LamarCheeks]

Two big FTs from Beau. 

76-73 with 13 seconds to go. 

Bucky ball. 

We have fouls to give. 

[LamarCheeks]

Bucky at the line. 

We're up 76-73 with 7 seconds to go. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Bucky makes 1 of 2. 

We're up 76-74 with 7 seconds to go. 

It'll be a matter of getting the ball inbound, then making FTs. 

These final 28 seconds are taking about 10 minutes! 

[LamarCheeks]

Ciezki gets fouled. 

She makes 1 of 2, but Bucky misses as time runs out. 

Hoosiers win. 

Wisconsin is pretty bad, but a win is a win is a win. Especially on the road. And especially for this group. 

That's 2 in a row and 12 straight over Bucky. 

Way to find a way to win! 

[mamasa]

Wow! Didn’t watch it but it sounded like some progress was made!

[LamarCheeks]

Caffey was huge in this game -- 16 points, a career high. 

Ciezki was her usual self -- 31. 

Much, much stronger in the second half -- just 1 turnover after 11 in the first 20 minutes. 

Nice road win. 


 

[TheWatShot]

Well, we kept our win streak over Wisconsin going and stayed out of the Big Ten basement. We would have been tied for last if we lost, thanks to Purdue losing at home in OT to previously 0-11 Penn State. Can we please give them the ragdoll treatment on Sunday?

A not very good team road win over a not very good team at their place.

Karoline Stripline really helped last year’s team….helped them get to/save a 20 win season though 20 wins is not that impressive in today’s game.

[ronzo4IU]

We might sneak into the Big tourney!

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Good for the team.   Shay with the carry.   We basically played 6.  That’s some old fashioned Moren ball.  Lol.  Big ups to Caffey.  She’s been underwhelming relative to the minutes she gets.  Glad she had a good game.
