IUWBB at Rutger - Wednesday, 02.25.26 @ 7:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Just 2 regular season games left.  A trip to the armpit of the nation, cesspool of the world on Wednesday and then the season ending game hosting Penn State in Bloomington.   The Scarlet Pimpernels (9-18) (1-15) provide a huge opportunity to extend our winning streak to 2 games.  They average a paltry 58 ppg with a -10 margin shooting 36% FG and 29% on 3s.  They average 36 rpg with a -2 margin.  They careless with the ball averaging 17 TOs/game.  4 players average double figures led by Nene Ndiaye at 15.0 ppg.  Their highest volume 3-point shooter is Kayah Ivey who's attempted 172 but only makes 26% of them.  Next highest on volume is Ndiaye at 40% on 74 attempts.  3 players average 5-6 rpg.  Ivey has recorded 99 assists against 61 turnovers.  It's a road game in a horrible place but our women bounced back very nicely today after the UCLA drubbing and certainly didn't throw in the towel.

If the tourney started today

[LamarCheeks]

Usual 5 ... 

 

[LamarCheeks]

About a minute and a half in, we already have three turnovers. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Wow. What an awful start. 

Five minutes in ... 

Turnovers: 5

Points: 3

 

 

[LamarCheeks]

We finally have more points (8) than turnovers (7).

Yipee! 

[LamarCheeks]

Ugly first quarter. 

Have five 3s and a mid-range jumper from Shay. Absolutely nothing inside. 

Eight turnovers. 

[mamasa]

Kinda glad I cancelled my BTN+, kinda sad. 

[LamarCheeks]

Tied at 26 with about 5 minutes left in the first half. 

We were down 10 at one point, so there's that, but still ... this is some really, really ugly basketball. 

[LamarCheeks]

Shot clock violation. 

At this point in the season -- absolutely inexcusable. 

[mamasa]

14 turnovers 

[LamarCheeks]

Down by 4 after 20 minutes. 

To a team with 1 win in the league. 

Sigh ... 
 

[TTT]

After Oregon game that she played well….Edessa Noyan said she thought she has it figured out.  It was difficult and took time.  In first half vs Rutgers on the road tonight Edessa Noyan with 0 points and 2 turnovers.  No not figured it out and need to go back to the drawing board for second half.…..7 rebounds though.

[LamarCheeks]

Back down by 10. 

 

[Stuhoo]

Two competing thoughts:

1. A team that shoots 7-13 from three yet is down by four and only scores 30 in the half is insane.
2. A team that turns it over 14 times in a half and is only down four is insane.

[LamarCheeks]

Our inside game is nonexistent. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Caffey with a nice blow-by and layup. 

Need more of that. 

Relying too much on the 3.  

 

[LamarCheeks]

Another nice drive and deuce by Caffey. 

Keep that up. 

[LamarCheeks]

Rutgers player mauls Shay and gets a foul. 

She jumps up and down, stomps her feet and flails her arms. 

C'mon -- you gotta T her up for that. 

[TheWatShot]

Losing to this terrible team would be on brand for this bunch. Still not convinced better days are ahead.
