It went as expected and was nothing to write home about. Ciezki was 7-11 on FGs and 4-7 on 3s to lead with 20 pts. Striplin was 7 of 9 for 16 points and Parrish was the only other player in double figures with 11 points.
IU women knock off Oakland, 90-55...
- Thread starter ptrich
- Start date
40 bench points. They put away an inferior opponent unlike the men’s team yesterday
The women appear to have their act together following the back-to-back losses to Harvard and Butler. Maybe they ‘outsmarted’ us?.😜
They have had more time to get new players acclimated and they have most of their players healthy.
Unlike the men the women have a coach. They have improved from start of season and hopefully make decent run in B10.
The B10 added two championship caliber teams with USC and UCLA. Maryland is also back in the top 10. I think a decent run is the best we can expect
I think that’s about right. Michigan, OSU, Illinois and Nebraska have all been in the top 20 and MSU got off to a great start, too
I agree with somewhat reduced success this year. Grace Berger and her deadly mid range game graduated two years ago. Last year the programs all time leading scorer, Mackenzie Holmes as well as Sara Scalia a tremendous three point shooter graduated.
We have solid players who will improve with continued coaching and their own individual effort to improve. Strip and Lilly share minutes and are solid bigs. Shay, Syd, and Yarden are good three point shooters.
But we do not have that national player of the year type candidate. A Bueckers, Ju Ju, Kiki, Hidalgo, etc.
The ladies are great to me. I never miss a broadcast.

Really, Syd and Lex have missed several games and Beau is out all year????? That is 3 pretty big rotation pieces that have missed a lot of time
Lex seems.to be rounding into form. She returned for the Battle for Atlantis and has been gradually shaking off the rust since then. She's moving really well now and we noticed, for the first time in her career, she's not wearing a knee brace.
Syd looked decent today for having been out for nearly four weeks.
