Aaron Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 That likely punches IU's ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 12 years if they don't have a slip up against Michigan St at home next weekend who is the worst team in the league. What a nice job Shonda Stanton has done turning the program around. IUsafety, OliviaPope40, Class of '66 Old Fart and 2 others 5 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 The women get a road sweep against Michigan with a 6-5 win today despite getting outhit 14-8. Mitchell our lone batter with more than a single hit. Montgomery started but was replaced by Copeland to start the 2nd and in turn was replaced by Johnson with 2 out in the 7th. Regular season ending series next weekend hosting Michigan State with the B1G tournament to start the following Wednesday at Illinois. IUsafety 1 Quote
Aaron Posted May 1, 2023 Posted May 1, 2023 Well I thought they clinched a bid with the win yesterday but this removed any remaining doubt. Class of '66 Old Fart and OliviaPope40 2 Quote

They have a series with MSU next weekend and then the conference tournament. Not sure if they will host a regional if they win they win the conference tournament they likely will if they do. Quote

Not sure if they will host a regional if they win they win the conference tournament they likely will if they do. No chance they host. RPI is to low even if they win the Big Ten Tourney. Northwestern will host, but IU will not even if they sweep the Big Ten Tournament and sweep MSU. Their RPI is simply to low and will not finish higher than the mid 20's no matter what. Need to be in top 20 at minimum to host and no way the Hoosiers can get there. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 IU women (37-15) (15-5) host Michigan State (14-29) (4-16) this weekend. Beautiful weather Friday and Saturday; possibly some a.m. thunderstorms on Sunday. Audio Live Stats Friday - 6:00 on B1G+ Saturday - 2:00 on B1G+ Sunday - Noon on BTN Quote

Audio Live Stats Friday - 6:00 on B1G+ Saturday - 2:00 on B1G+ Sunday - Noon on BTN Again need a sweep which is very likely as IU has best offense in conference and MSU has worst pitching. You do that and you are in the NCAA Tourney with 40 wins (first time since 1994) regardless of how things go in Big Ten Tourney. You also lock in to no. 2 seed for it with all three victories which needs to be the expectation. Lose even one and you might need to win a game or two in conference tourney.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 MSU scored a run in the 1st but Hoosiers responded with 3 of their own that included a 2-run HR by Copeland who's also today's starting pitcher. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 We added 4 more in the 2nd on a Kern double, a Minnick triple and a Stone sac fly. Hoosiers lead 7-1. Quote
