Andujar, a freshman this year, came to IU from Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida How she got the nickname City: In her freshman year of high school her teammates could not say her name so they needed to come up with a nickname.
Before Sunday's game, most Hoosier fans likely couldn't tell you where Lipscomb even was. But the Bisons' 74-69 upset victory over IU might have put them on the map. The school from Nashville, Tenn.
For a blow-by-blow recap of the game, follow the jump.
This is a very interesting story about a women's basketball player who seemed to have everything gong right for her, but deep inside things were far from perfect.
Update: Click here to see my preview article. Also stay tuned for the next edition of Meet The Hoosiers tomorrow as we get to know freshman Danilsa "City" Andujar. 12:22p.m.My article won't hit the ids website until morning, but i want to give you my readers a sneak peak of whats going on. What: Indiana (8-2, 1-0) vs.
In the latest edition of The Opposing Bench we asked Joseph Terry, the women's basketball beat writer for The State News, the newspaper of Michigan State University some questions leading up to the IU vs.
One-time Louisville commit and soon-to-be-former Arizona Wildcat Jeff Withey, rumored in recent weeks to be considering IU as a possible transfer destination, will be going to Kansas, Rick Bozich reports. The 6-foot-11 Withey was finally granted his transfer request late this year, and he listed IU as one of several possible schools.
Growing up in Bloomington, I always thought Santa and Bob Knight had a lot in common. The white hair.
Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Including the IU women's basketball team who will be back in Bloomington tomorrow to practice in preparation for their match up against Michigan State on Monday. If you just can't get enough Hoops remember to tune in starting at NOON for a game on ESPN followed by a pair of doubleheaders on ABC and TNT, including a rematch of last year's finals between the Celtics and Lakers.
Just caught ESPN's Stan Verrett in a wrongsie -- ESPN showed Doc Rivers' younger son, Austin, dropped 46 on Wheeler High School (Marietta, Ga.) in a interstate showdown, and Verrett said he thought Rivers' other son, Jeremiah, was in the NBDL. Anyway, it got me thinking about what Jeremiah Rivers' impact would be were he playing (for IU, not the Fort Wayne Mad Antz). It occurred to me that Rivers, touted by just about everybody within the program as a mentally strong and natural leader, would have been a good antidote for the Hoosiers on Monday. It felt at times like IU players were going through the motions, lacking much urgency or intensity against a lesser opponent that had challenged them physically and otherwise, something Tom Crean attributed to a lack of good practices over the last week.
So on the Hoosier Scoop, the Blog of the Herald-Times there were two conflicting posts that i would like to share then maybe get some reaction on.
Scores from Monday night Northwestern: 67 North Dakota: 65 Box Score Purdue: 53 Illinois: 42 Box Score Iowa: 73 Wisconsin: 63 Box Score Also I have been looking at the Big Ten Media Guide and pouring over stats and records from previous years.
So the question seems to be with the success the Hoosiers have had to start the season (7 game winning streak) will this carry over to wins in the conference portion of their schedule.
As promised. Wack stat(s) of the game: The Hoosiers shot the exact same percentage -- 40 -- in the first and second halves, only getting six free throws all game. Heard from Assembly Hall: "There was one aggressive team on the floor tonight, and it wasn't Indiana." -- Tom Crean "We need to come back to work after break and make sure this never happens again." -- Kyle Taber Final word: This was what it was: an upset against a team IU clearly should have beaten.
This one just wasn't pretty. The Hoosiers struggled mightily offensively, shooting just 40 percent from the field and turning the ball over 21 times. IU jumped out to a 12-3 lead at the 15:14 mark, but things changed from there.
Hey folks, Just strolled into Assembly Hall, and who should be shooting free throws wearing his full gear for the first time since the preseason than Steven Gambles.
Junior defender Kevin Alston has decided to turn pro, IU coach Mike Freitag confirmed today. The first-team All-Big Ten player will most likely sign with an MLS team.
Hey folks, I come to you now not with any news releases or interesting tidbits, sorry to disappoint. No, tonight I blog to you with a sad-hearted but fond goodbye.
Here are some quotes from the post-game press conference by IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack following her team's 81-57 victory over Northwestern Saturday night in Bloomington.
Here are some quotes from Northwestern Coach Joe McKeown following his team's 81-57 loss to IU Saturday night in Bloomington. On getting within 6 points midway through the second half "I think we had some breakdowns defensively.
