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

[LamarCheeks]

Same girl who was going crazy a few seconds ago just plowed right over Caffey on a drive. 

Of course, the foul was on Caffey. 

[LamarCheeks]

Down 4 after 30 minutes. 

Gotta find something in these final 10 minutes. 

If we lose to this team ... 

[LamarCheeks]

Kiaku just went coast-to-coast for a layup and got fouled. Pretty much blew past all 9 other players. 

Made the FT for an old-fashioned three-point play. 

Feel like we should've gotten more out of her this year. There can't be many B1G players with more speed than her.

#winning. 

Not yet #won.

[LamarCheeks]

Shay with the step-through and hey, whaddya know -- we're back on  top. 

66-65 with 4:32 to go. 

This has been some brutal basketball. Let's finish strong.

Only four second half turnovers so far.

The shooting has cooled off but they are playing much better.

[Stuhoo]

72-65 good gals.

Winning the second half by eleven.

[LamarCheeks]

Maya with a huge 3 and the harm. 

Makes the FT for a four-point play. 

Up by 7 now. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

At least one of our bball teams is showing some gut checking fight at the end of a game.

[LamarCheeks]

Noyan with some nice fight to collect a rebound. 

Gets fouled on the putback try. 

Makes 2 FTs to put us up by 9. 

[LamarCheeks]

Beau misses a wide-open 3 that would've gone a long way toward finishing this one off.

Just made up for it with the jumper and FT.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Never quit.  Damn well deserved this win.  Thanks @LamarCheeks for your updates.

[LamarCheeks]

We hold on and even create a little distance there at the end. 

79-69. 

Played like crap, but showed some moxie there at the end. 

[LamarCheeks]

Nice finish. 

Shay was dominant early on, then sorta disappeared, then showed up at the end. 

Nice contribution from Maya as well. She's not playing like a freshman any longer. 

[Stuhoo]

Won the second half by 14!

Cleaned up the turnovers, defended, and mud-stomped them down the stretch. 

A tale of two halves; one played terribly, followed by a completely excellent half.

27-13 quarter pretty well took care of it!  What an absolutely CRAZY game!

Good road win for this version of IU Ladies.  
E.N. excellent board game.

[LamarCheeks]

Chamique Holdsclaw showed up tonight -- wearing an IU sweatshirt. 

Not sure what her connection to CTM is, but still ... pretty cool. 

Also not sure if the players knew exactly who she is. LOL. 

 

 

[Stuhoo]

This is a good group of fellow Hoosiers. Young and missing their only impact big, but so, so easy to root for.

If they all stay at IU, Caffey, Beaumont. Zania, and Maya + the high end additions on the way are going to be a national contender.

Mark this post and mark my words.
