Hey folks,
We're awaiting our last postgame presser of the year, so I'll go ahead and throw some thoughts up on the blog for your reading pleasure.
-Tamera Young and Dawn Evans were just unstoppable tonight. Together, they scored 68 of their teams 86 total points. To put it all in perspective, someone from James Madison told us Evans tied the program's all-time record for most points in a game with her 38. Young apparently set that record just a few days ago. -Truth be told, IU's defense wasn't that poor against Young and Evans. The former hit several contested shots off screens, and the latter had her 3-pointers falling from as far as 25 feet. The Hoosiers aren't of course blameless, their execution got sloppy at times, especially late. -The Dukes are a very well-rounded team. They have shooters and scorers (if there is a distinction), and they can rebound like all get out. -It felt like, late in the year, the Hoosiers began to tire as a team. Perhaps not in terms of physical or mental fatigue. It just seemed like games started to wear on the team later in the season, something evident both against Purdue and James Madison.
That's it for now. Look for mine and Buckey's stories in Monday's IDS, and we'll try to have some season wrap-up stuff for you soon. Until next time.
