As the snow pours down outside my window this morning the IU women's basketball team didn't have to deal with any snow on their road trip as they captured a 69-54 victory over the Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables, Florida, Friday night.

Here are some additional notes and stats from the game
-It was a game of runs, as Miami struck first with a 12-4 run, and lead 24-15 with 6:30 to go in the first half
-The Hoosiers closed out the second half with a small run of their own and cut the deficit to 32-28
-IU went on a 8-0 run early in the second half to claim a one point advantage with 16:26 to go in the game
-Hoosiers used 8-0 and 14-0 runs later in the second half and with 4:08 left had an 18 point lead
-IU out rebounded Miami 50-39, and held the Canes to just 32.8 (21-64) shooting from the field
Next up for the Hoosiers: After five games on the road the team returns home to Assembly Hall on Tuesday for a match up with in -state foe Butler. Game time is set for 7p.m.
Any thoughts on this game or the season so far? I think this team has shown incredible balance in scoring, and also great team defense, two things that are going to be important as they move forward in the season.
