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

Anybody know who drew the assignment to guard McMiller?  Whoever has done a phenomenal job.  4 min. left in the 3rd and she has 2 points and 4 turnovers.

Because she is a TERRIBLE basketball player.

Ondineme is a million times better and needs lots of game experience IMO. Wiseman will play in true mop up territory.

Hard to complain when you're up 29 but jeeze -- we're missing a lot of layups. 

[LamarCheeks]

After 30 minutes. 

Some really nice balance ... 

[HoosierHoopster]

Nice way to secure a spot in the Big Ten tourney— and a good turn a round from an 0-10 start

[LamarCheeks]

OK, we're up by 40 with 3 minutes left. 

With a short bench already, let's get the regulars out. 

[LamarCheeks]

Shay swishes a 3, then takes a seat to a standing O. 

Finishes with 29 points. 

[LamarCheeks]

Showed up in a big way today. 

Shay with 29. Caffey with 18. Beau with 18. Maya with 15. 

Went 5-2 in the B1G after a 0-10 start. Nice rebound. 

Next stop: Indianapolis.

I went to the game.  Crowd wasn't nearly big enough to suit me, but the enthusiasm today was TOP NOTCH!.
Felt like there were about twice as many people yelling loudly as compared to what my eyes saw.
Outstanding way to finish the regular season, now let's go far in the tournament (maybe TWO tournaments!)

It had to be rough on the team and coaching staff the way we started out but they didn't throw up their hands and say woe is us.  They found a way to put it together and I'm very happy for them.

Maybe we get another 20 win season after all. Wouldn't that be something.

[NatHillIV]

With an 0-10 start in the BigTen, who would have thought it even possible?  Soft schedule at the end had something to do with it, but it's been an a while since an IU women's team took the floor and destroyed a Big10 opponent like they did yesterday.  What a great game plan, and what great execution by the team.
I was extremely happy with the IU crowd.  They were really into it.

That would be something for this team.

However, as many games that can be played including preseason cupcakes in today’s game for both the men and Ladies game even though they are in a major conference the standard should be maybe 23 or 24….or even 25 wins consistently….with real success at 25+ wins and….greatness would include championships.

Starting two freshman and two sophomores, one of which missed most of the season?

That would indeed be something.

The strong close to this year is why you don't throw the baby out with the bath water when it comes to Moren and the program. I think we can all agree that most of the season was not up to standard, but the future appears bright with the personnel and young players developing down the stretch. 

Society has no patience and is willing to throw people out at the first sign of trouble without evaluating the past or whole situation and that bleeds into sports. That is people's right to do but it puts a lot of pressure on the program and our world.

The women's program has won 25 games in a season exactly twice in its history.  I think when people are setting standards for that program, maybe that is something to keep in mind, along with the fact that Teri Moren is the person responsible for people having that kind of standard.

I agree with all that.  
There are different or graduated levels of success and greatness.  
And yes T. Moren is the person responsible for what the IU Ladies program has become and will be in the future which is a job overall very well done.
