So what's the deal? Part I: tangibles.

By Zach Osterman

Hey folks, Sitting here at home watching a replay of the second half of the IU-Purdue women's game (excitement defined), and I thought it a good time to touch on something pertinent to our many conversations together: In the midst of a seven-game skid, what do we think about these Hoosiers? For starters, I think all the optimists have been silenced.

Is the buzz still there?

By Matt Dollinger

Times are tough for the Hoosiers. Things began to "snowball," as IU coach Tom Crean likes to say, when the Hoosiers returned from Maui off the coattails of a thrilling 81-79 victory over Chaminade.

Meet the Hoosiers: Whitney Thomas

By Jeremy Rosenthal

IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack says quite frankly this is Whitney's Thomas's team. The senior and graduate of Blooming North is playing for her third different coach this year but bringing great intensity and purpose to the team.

Links are below. The Taber interview is cut off, because I dove into it a bit late, and Tom Crean's interview was too long to upload, but I brought you what I could.

Live blog: Penn State 65, IU 55 (FINAL)

By Matt Dollinger

In one of their most winnable games in conference season, the Hoosiers fell once again, losing, losing to Penn State inside Assembly Hall for the first time in school history. The game marked IU's eighth straight loss, the program's longest losing streak since 1964. Cold shooting and timely Nittany Lions' baskets plagued the Hoosiers (5-12, 0-5) from the start.

Observations

By Zach Osterman

Got back from practice a little while ago, where we media types met with IU coach Tom Crean and selected players (Nick Williams and Tom Pritchard this time) before tomorrow's game. We caught the last few minutes of practice, just free throw practice mostly, but something struck me about the way IU players and coaches were behaving -- They were loose. Not loose like, 'Great, practice is over, I can go home,' loose or 'Man, it's nice not to be out in this frigid weather' loose, but genuinely without great anxiety or nervousness.

Cassady is one of the greatest players to play for IU women's basketball. In a career that spanned from 1998-2002 she accumulated 1,301 points, good for 11th all-time.
