Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 9 Posted February 9 We open a 2-game west coast road trip at USC and then play UCLA 3-days later. Hard to seriously believe we can beat UCLA so I'm glad we'll have fresh legs for the Trojans (15-9) (7-6). Trojans average 70 ppg with a +10 margin shooting 41% FG and 31% on 3s. They average 39 rpg with a +2 margin. 4 players average double figures led by Jazzy Davidson at 16.9. Kara Dunn is a 37% 3-point shooter followed by Londynn Jones at 35%. Davidson is their highest volume 3-point shooter but only averages 26%. Davidson is by far their best distributor with 106 assists vs 71 turnovers. She's also their best rebounder a 6.3/game. Our season long weaknesses aren't miraculously going to disappear but if we can keep them in check, we can pull off a win. Radio Live Stats mamasa 1 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:01 AM Posted Friday at 03:01 AM Shay apparently was at the shootaround, but she's not listed in the starting 5. Don't know if she's injured or if something popped up since then ... mamasa 1 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:03 AM Posted Friday at 03:03 AM According to B1G Network, Shay rolled her ankle during shootaround and will not play. This could get ugly. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:11 AM Posted Friday at 03:11 AM BTN announcer said we might be missing the best player in the nation. Shay's great -- but think that might be pushing it a little. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:13 AM Posted Friday at 03:13 AM Two early fouls each on Caffey and Kiaku. But we're hanging in there -- actually up 9-7 midway through first 10 minutes. If we don't get smarter, this could be one of those games where a team -- us -- finishes with fewer than 5 players! Quote
NatHillIV Posted Friday at 03:14 AM Posted Friday at 03:14 AM Foul trouble early. But somehow IU is ahead and even broke their press! Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:17 AM Posted Friday at 03:17 AM Dang. Impressive start. Up 16-8 despite missing our two best players. Quote
NatHillIV Posted Friday at 03:18 AM Posted Friday at 03:18 AM 16-8 Hoosiers. Flat getting a bad whistle. They're in bonus (6 IU fouls) and USC has 2 fouls. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:20 AM Posted Friday at 03:20 AM Beaumont making some really bad decisions. This is a game where she could really step it up. Instead, she's stepping back. NatHillIV 1 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:23 AM Posted Friday at 03:23 AM Dayum. Fantastic first 10 minutes considering. Quote
NatHillIV Posted Friday at 03:24 AM Posted Friday at 03:24 AM (edited) Without question, the best quarter of basketball the women have played all season! Beaumont had five points. Edited Friday at 03:25 AM by NatHillIV defending beaumont :) LamarCheeks 1 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:28 AM Posted Friday at 03:28 AM 6-0 run from USC. Not a good start to the 2nd quarter. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:34 AM Posted Friday at 03:34 AM Noyan with a second foul. Was really stupid, too. Can't have that on a night like this. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:37 AM Posted Friday at 03:37 AM Feel like CTM might wanna take a TO just to get a break. With our short roster, might need it. NatHillIV 1 Quote
NatHillIV Posted Friday at 03:40 AM Posted Friday at 03:40 AM I wonder. Shay is out, and it looks to me like every other IU player is playing harder than usual. Great hustle, great rebounding. It may be my imagination, but it sure looks that way to me. Quote
NatHillIV Posted Friday at 03:42 AM Posted Friday at 03:42 AM Davidson is a killer. Blocking foul? Wow........ Quote
LamarCheeks Posted Friday at 03:43 AM Posted Friday at 03:43 AM I'd let Odineme finish the half. Noyan looks gassed -- and we can't afford a third foul. Quote
