Women Hoosiers Shuck Huskers 91-69

I hope we bury the hawks and that prima donna
Did anyone notice that during last night's OSU game, Fox didn't even mention anyone on IU when they were promoting the IU vs Iowa women's game on Fox next week? It was all about promoting Caitlin Clarke. Did they not realize that IU also has an all-american on their team as well?

Well, CC has established herself as a national figure, so it might bring in viewers who have seen her play, and also the folks who know the name, have seen the commercials but have probably never watched women's bball. She's worth the price of admission as a player, regardless if you like her theatrics. Talking about Mackenzie Holmes is only interesting to hard core women's and IU women's fans.

Syd is interesting 😁. Check out her Instagram page sometime.

No, I get all that. Clarke is the big name in that game. Mackenzie isn't a household name, but Fox could've at least MENTIONED her.

Probably better to promote the entire rivalry between the two schools anyway.

I agree. If there is one player known to people who do not follow the sport it is likely Clark.
 
For those wondering why Syd looks like she just returned from a beach in Florida, someone commented at the beginning of the season she has a spray tan NIL deal with a Bloomington outfit.
Good for her. I came out of school broke.
Moren once made a joke about Syd and eyelashes and make up. Maybe she has other glamour deals.

It really wasn't a joke. Coach Moren said this about Parrish:

“Don’t let the makeup and the eyelashes and the fingernails — and all that — trick you into thinking that she’s not a complete basketball player, because she is one of the greatest competitors that we have inside of that locker room,” Moren said. “She has a high IQ. She loves the game. She loves her teammates.”

Moren often mentions
1. The team loves each other
2. Moren and the team are very appreciative of their fans and attendance.
3. They are trying to grow the sport of women’s basketball.
I live in the south now, but wish I could go to games. Hope those close do attend.

Attendance has really increased the past few years. The main level is quite full and I think the Iowa game is close to a sellout.

I think we are second in the big in attendance at about 8700 per game. Iowa is first at 14,000. I think that is all from Clark. To me, she is too whinny and I think more me oriented than team.
But there is no denying her skill on the court and her ability to carry a team. I think her NIL has long since cleared 1M per year.
Iowa is a sell out in Bloomington. They will be a tough out in their home arena.

Yep. There were a fair amount of fans in the balconies for Illinois. Pretty much any B1G game is going to get 12,000 give or take. Iowa is already a sellout. You can be pretty sure Purdue will be as well.
