Thanks for posting.
We are not a deep team, rarely playing more than 7 and shallow at the big positions.
Mac was likely our best player.
Replacing 20 points and 9 rebounds per game will be a challenge.
I expect more minutes from Grace W and Kaitland, but neither of them are scorers.
As they say; next man up

The wins against Nebraska and Purdue were incredibly gutty performances. The break due to Covid issues (both internal and those of other programs) was probably a blessing in disguise, though we may show some rust tonight. Our starters have accumulated a ton of minutes and I'm sure some rest was badly needed. If we were two more quality players deep, I think this team could be a final four challenger. Without MH we will struggle against size. Hopefully she can return at something close to full strength.

Michigan has skilled size.
Might get ugly..Unless there's some super scoring outburst by a couple starters..

Even w/o Holmes, IU is the better team. We shall see tonight.

Eventually (now - and especially next season), it is going to catch up with the program big time that CTM runs off 60% of her recruits.

Sure. That's why they were recruited in the first place. Try again...

 

[Hoosierific]

Love the Hoosier women heart and hussle, but they are going nowhere without Holmes.

This is the reality ...Without Holmes...
Lady Hoosiers gonna struggle...No chance of deep run in the tournament..
Out rebounded ridiculously tonight.
Take any teams stud away and its gonna happen..
Praying she gets back and is really healthy again..

Rebounding killed us. Bigger drop off than i thought w/o Holmes. No question, Holmes is needed for any meaningful run in the tournament.

 

[jacksback]

Outrebounded 52-20! Ouch.

Really?! I had no idea.

Someone smart might consider who was on the Floor for the Team that outplayed them in the fourth quarter...
