That will never happen.

She is a very good player, she's from my home town. I grew up playing baseball and basketball against her oldest brother.

Don't be surprised if she struggles this year. They don't face a ton of quality competition, and it will take a little while for her to adjust. The reason why she scores a lot is because the coach let her do anything she wanted. Not her fault, but it really wasn't a team concept.

Just don't except 10+ pts per game her first season. She has a ton of talent and work ethic (Oladipo level, no joke), and will be a heck of a player, just let her adjust.

Interesting... I figured she'd score 10+ easy. He'll that's only 3 shots and an and1 4 point play for her.

Tyra was selected as BIG Freshman of the Week following her performance against Gardner-Webb.  Congrats Tyra on just the first of the awards to come.

Now that I've inadvertently stumbled across this previously unknown (to myself) Tyra Buss topic thread,it'd be completely out of character for me,myself,and I to simply just read it without commenting on it. Lol Basically, I just wanted to comment on the post about Tyra playing so well that it's unbelievable that she wasn't selected to the McDonald's High School All-American Team" because that's exactly the question that majority of high school basketball fan's across the tri-state were asking themselves after the rosters were announced then subsequently released nationwide. There's absolutely no question about it that Tyra was unfairly snubbed and most certainly deserved to had been selected to play, "and in my own personal opinion," and actually start in one of the two rosters line up's. And as far as the competition that she'd faced during her high school year's being weak, well that's a myth that unfortunately originated from an ignorant individual who knew very little next to absolutely nothing about her, or her high school career. Tyra's an legitimate bona fide basketball superstar and will continue to be one whether she's playing in college, or she's playing professionally here in the states, or in a foreign national league. Tyra's quite frankly one of the best girls high school basketball player's in the history of the sport.

She played against scrubs for the most part. Not saying she isn't good, but that's why her numbers were so good.

Scrubs? Lol Perhaps you'd do well to remember that it's never smart to comment on matters that you've no prior knowledge about because it's blatantly obvious by your comment that you really don't know anything at all about Tyra, or here basketball past history.

First off welcome, second, please don't come in here like you own the place and know it all. I LIVED in Tyra's home town, and watched her play not only in high school, but way before then.

Lets be respectful and not go after one another. 96, please take some time and read over the forum rules. I ask all newbies read that so we won't have any problems going forward. This place is about being respectful, and at the very least civil with one another. Lets take it easy.

While she did play some very good talent, you can't believe she didn't go up against weak competition too? Southern Illinois is bad with basketball, especially in southeastern Illinois. Luckily she played against the Big8 conference, but she still played some very bad teams.

She's already scoring well, if she adds a reliable jumper it won't be fair.

Tyra Buss is Indiana's first All-American in 31 years....Big honor.

Tyra Buss Named WBCA All-American Honorable Mention

ATLANTA  –  Junior guard Tyra Buss has been named a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-American Honorable Mention, announced by the organization at the Women's Final Four in Dallas.
 
It marks the first All-American honor for Buss and the first ever WBCA All-American honor for the Hoosiers. She becomes the fifth player in school history to earn All-American distinctions, with the last coming in 1986 by Karna Abram and Cindy Bumgarner.
 
The repeat All-Big Ten First Team selection averages 18.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.4 steals and 3.2 rebounds per game as she has helped guide Indiana to a single season record of 23 wins and a WNIT quarterfinal appearance. She has scored in double figures in 32 of 34 games this season, setting a new career-high 38 points against North Carolina State, which ranks as tied for the fourth-most in a single game. She scored 35 points in a win over Florida and also scored 20 or more points in a game nine times this season. In addition, Buss became the first player in school history to record back-to-back 600 point seasons as she tallied 619 points and sits with 1,601 career points and is on pace to break the all-time scoring record.
 
She has also notched two double-doubles and set new career-highs in assists, steals, 3-pointers made and free throws made. Currently, Buss ranks eighth in all-time scoring (1,601), second in free throws made (453), tied for third in assists (400) fourth in free throw attempts (594) and fifth in steals (216).
 
She became the fastest player to score 1,000 points this season and set a new school record with 59 consecutive games in double figure scoring. In addition, she was a Naismith Preseason Top 50 watch list candidate and was one of 35 players eligible for the Wade Trophy.
