Hoosiers look to move win streak to 6

Last season, playing on the road plagued the IU women’s basketball team, which only won five games. This year, the Hoosiers have already won four road games in a row and are looking to extend their total winning streak to six games. The Hoosiers compete against West Virginia at 2 p.m. Saturday in Morgantown, W. Va. After posting a 25-8 record last year and an NCAA Tournament berth, the Mountaineers came in 7-1.

Hoosiers’ win-streak grows to 5

For most of the first half, the Butler Bulldogs were a pest the Hoosiers couldn’t get rid of. The eventually overmatched Bulldogs (3-5) stayed within single digits until 3:35 left in the first half when senior Amber Jackson’s layup put the Hoosiers (6-2) up by 10. The Hoosiers then went on a 14-1 run to end the half. They led at halftime 39-20, and went on to win their fifth in a row defeating Butler 63-41. “This was a team effort, team win and it’s really exciting to see our team play together,” IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. “We put in subs today, and you really couldn’t tell the starters from the subs because everyone really contributed.”

Coach: ‘Ladies became women’ with win

Despite senior forward Whitney Thomas and sophomore guard Jori Davis going a combined 3-for-19 from the field and combining for just 15 points, the IU women’s basketball team overcame a four-point halftime deficit to defeat Miami (Fla.) 69-54 in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. In the second half, the Hoosiers (5-2) outscored the Hurricanes 41-22 and shot 52 percent from the field.

IU women's basketball team stumbles in the preseason WNIT

A tale of two halves is the best way to describe the IU women’s basketball team’s 65-59 loss Saturday night against Middle Tennessee State. Despite out-shooting the Blue Raiders from the floor 52.1 percent to 37.5 percent and going on a 19-0 run in the first half to gain a 30-10 margin at one point, the Hoosiers (1-2) were not able to hold their 36-22 halftime lead. In the second half, the Hoosiers were out-scored 43-23 and only shot 37.5 percent from the floor, which contributed to the disappointing six-point loss.

1st half

Amber Harris out until February

Ok, so earlier I posted about Indianapolis natvie and current Xavier junior stand-out Amber Harris. Well after getting back from the media room, I've seen Harris will not play today. Harris is out until at least Febraury with a knee injury. So the possibility of her dunking this afternoon will not be relevant.

Amber Harris dunks. . . seriously

While in high school I got the opportunity to travel and watch a lot of Indiana high school basketball. One thing I remember was, then North Central stand-out and now Xavier junior, Amber Harris dunking in a game against my old high school.

Jamie Braun update

As I reported during the game, junior starting point guard Jamie Braun, did not play at all in IU's win over Ball St. Last week at practice, Braun took herself off the floor due to some criticisms from IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack. Filling in for Braun was sophomore Whitney Lindsay. Lindsay finished with 11 points, six rebounds and most importantly ZERO turnovers.
