IUWBB @ UCLA - Sunday, 02.15.26 @ 3:00 ET on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Hard to be optimistic with Z out and Shay's availability/effectiveness in doubt.  Bruins (24-1) (14-0 just have too much firepower.  We'll just hope for the best.

I wouldn't bother playing Shay in this one. Just let her rest a bit before our remaining games. We won't be within 30 even if she plays. 

[LamarCheeks]

This is IU's gameday graphic. 

Hmmm ... 

Some foreshadowing that Shay will play, or just something that was put together before she got hurt? 

We're not gonna win regardless, but it could be the difference between a 20-point loss and a 40-point loss! 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Pretty sure they've used this same pic before and just change the game day info.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Availability report indicates Z is out and Shay is questionable for today's game. 

[LamarCheeks]

Shay is back.

[LamarCheeks]

Just switched game on and it said we were up 2-0. 

Two seconds later, it said: UCLA 2, IU 0 

Gonna be even tougher if they're taking points away from us! 

[LamarCheeks]

Noyan already with 2 fouls. 

Second one was really stupid. 

[LamarCheeks]

Yikes. 

Ciezki got knocked down and hobbled to the bench. 

[LamarCheeks]

Getting absolutely annihilated on the boards. 

[mamasa]

Well, at least I have consultation in the performance of the men’s team……oh

[LamarCheeks]

Down 7 after 10 minutes. 

Down 12 on the glass -- 17-5. Ish. 

[LamarCheeks]

Not sure how much longer I can follow along. 

For one, we're gonna get killed. 

For two, this announcer is driving me batsh-t crazy. Very weird energy. 

"Grab a snack, and come on back." 

[LamarCheeks]

Noyan another foul. 

That's 3. This team is so careless in that aspect. 

We over three minutes in to the second quarter and haven't scored. 

26-10 Bruins. 

Shay actually looked like she was moving pretty well early on, but then she got knocked down, hobbled off and hasn't been back. 

[LamarCheeks]

Midway through 2nd quarter ... 

Rebounds: UCLA 22, IU 9

Turnovers: IU 8, UCLA 3 

Fouls: IU 10, UCLA 5 

Points: UCLA 35, IU 14 

[TTT]

What do you do when your not good enough?

Foul.

Sara Okeke:  Starting center job opening.

[LamarCheeks]

Every bit as ugly as I expected. 

Have no path inside, so for the final stretch of that 2nd quarter all we did was stand outside and bomb 3s. Didn't hit 'em, though. Well -- Maya had one. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Outrebounded by 18 in the first half. 

 

[mamasa]

The comeback starts now

 

[LamarCheeks]

Down by 42 after 30 minutes.

Rebounds: UCLA 41, IU 17 

With the fellas' 20-point loss, this might be the single worst on-court day in the history of IU hoops. 

Shea hasn't returned. No reason for her to at this point.
