IUWBB vs Penn State - Saturday, 02.28.26 @ 2:00 on B1G+

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

From what I read this morning, had Penn State had the courtesy to lose to USC last night, we would have clinched a spot in the B1G tournament.  But no, PSU (11-17) (4-13) had to win last night so this game is likely win or go home for IUWBB.   PSU averages 75 ppg with a -7 margin shooting 47% FG and 35% on 3s.  They average 37 rpg basically equal to their opponents.  They are as careless with the ball as we tend to be with 18 turnovers/game.  PSU has 2 main offensive weapons in Kiyomi McMiller at 22.3 ppg and Gracie Merkle at 19.1 ppg.  On volume, McMiller is their second best 3-point shooter at 36%.  Moriah Murray is their best 3-point shooter at 40%.  Merkle leads the team in rebounds at 8.1 per game followed by McMiller at 5.1.  Penn St. is really a 2-headed monster that we have to deal with.  Oftentimes this season we've been our own worst enemy.  Would really be a wonderful way to end the regular season at home with a nice stress free win.

Definitely need to control McMiller.

She surpassed 1,000 career points, dropped a career-high 40, and extended her streak to six straight 30+ point games in @PennStateWBB’s win over USC

Just an FYI.

If you happen to be going and care to contribute ...

Nuts that both men and women are basically in must wins. But then both in rebuild seasons.

It’s a freaking clinic for IU so far!

[mamasa]

4/5 starters have 5 or more. 27-5 IU

[LamarCheeks]

Rolling early. 

27-5 with 2:40 left in 1st quarter. 

 

[mamasa]

31-8 end of 1st. Missing some easy layups 

[LamarCheeks]

Pretty damn good 10 minutes. 

Only one turnover. 

[Stuhoo]

One turnover midway through the second quarter 

[LamarCheeks]

Yikes -- Merkle nearly fell on Beau.

That coulda been trouble.

Proceeds to rip off six out of eight in conference with a bunch of underclassmen.

Not this year, but watch out. We’re coming for everyone.

[LamarCheeks]

Up by 32 late in second quarter. 

Really clicking. 

[mamasa]

And now, the dreaded third quarter lol

[LamarCheeks]

Quite a nice first half ... 

Hitting almost 60% from the floor and only 4 turnovers.

Six out of eight. A very young team that is growing up.

This is what we’re looking at for the future.
