[X-band '01]

33-27 IU at the half; Ta'Shia picked up her 3rd foul just before the end of the 1st half. X got as close as 3 points after trailing by 12 midway through the 1st half.

[X-band '01]

Tied 57-57; 2:30 to go in the game

[X-band '01]

1:32 left; X leads 60-59 after a Reed 3 and an IU made basket (Xavier ball)

[X-band '01]

14.1 seconds left; Special Jennings goes to the FT line still leading 60-59 after IU missed the front end of a 1-and-1

[X-band '01]

62-59; this score is eerily similar to another Big 10 foe near the end of regulation.

[X-band '01]

Chalk up the W; Indiana misses a 3 at the end of regulation.

Way to go, ladies!

Nice win over a quality team.
Didn't get to listen, but the play by play looks like it was a battle.
Great play from the guards, fantastic game!

Sounded like a good character builder. Down big early, battle back, fight thru TPhil's foul trouble and some clutch shooting down the stretch. Win on the road, hostile environment against an up and coming big tenner. Gotta be happy about that.

Granted it's only game two, but finally it seems there is more than one outside threat! That should keep Ta'Shia productive on the inside.

Tantalizing to think what would be happening with Harris in the mix. Alas, we will have to wait.

Anyway on to the real big time now with No. 4/6 North Carolina which beat Virginia Commonwealth 77-65 tonight.

That score is right in our ladies' wheelhouse.

Hopefully today was a momentum builder.

NC's site states the game is Wednesday there. No time listed.

Heard the game is schedule for wednesday night not thursday. The team will leave tuesday.

Just think of the stretch coming up for our ladies...
Wed. at #4 UNC
Sat. #11 Louisville
if we win at UNC possible Monday game at #7 Oklahoma or #18 AZ State
next Wed. at #22 LSU

Nice to see something in print, since the Cincinnati papers chose to ignore XU.
Something about that birdcage liner, do they need to get a special reminder each game day?
