IU basketball

With graduating seniors, NBA Draft potential and the transfer portal, Indiana's roster will look much different in year three under coach Mike Woodson.

There’s more basketball to be played tonight from Teri Moren’s programs and plenty of updates to write in the coming weeks. Kaleb Banks logged a few key minutes in the latter half of the season while Malik Reneau grew into his own in a reserve role for Thompson and Jackson-Davis. Between his roof-raising dunks and his leadership, he was a centerpiece for both the fanbase and the team itself. That’s a lot of production to replace, so expect the transfer portal to come into play. He didn’t have to, could’ve rode off into the sunset and worked his way up in the NBA, but he did. Led by second year head coach Mike Woodson and star Trayce Jackson-Davis, the Hoosiers gave the team and fanbase plenty of memories.

The lifelong dream is to come home someday and return the favor of help. The dream is to leave.

But the Hurricanes answered by getting the ball to Harden in the paint, who faced up against Berger. But it turned into a metaphorical boxing match in the fourth quarter, in a tight game that saw both teams hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Grace Berger came out and opened the quarter with a three-pointer, quickly followed by a defensive stop, and then another Berger layup. The Hurricanes were hitting their open shots, but also tough, contested looks, and they responded in big moments when the crowd came alive. Both teams traded big shots in the fourth quarter, but it was the Hoosiers who ultimately came up on the wrong end. The Hurricanes built a double-digit lead during the first quarter, and IU was unable to cut into it for very long.

"She's a freshman and she's making big plays in the NCAA Tournament. She's a really special player and I'm glad the world got to see her performance." "It's unfortunate on a night where we needed to be so good and flawless almost defensively, we had a lot of hiccups throughout the 40 minutes." "We'll take that shot from Grace Berger and I'll take the layup from Chloe that she missed, as well. Harden was only able to convert 1 of 2 FTs, which left the door open for IU to grab the lead. "We got the shots we wanted," Moren added. When Roberts stalled the early momentum with a bucket of her own, Parrish drew a charge and Holmes followed with three straight buckets to make it a three-point game. Holmes, who finished with 22 points (18 in the second half) and nine rebounds, tied the game twice with layups in the fourth quarter. The problem was, no one really picked up the slack with IU shooting 34% over the first two quarters, and the defense was uncharacteristically wobbly, allowing Miami to shoot 57% with nine 3-pointers on 15 tries. Coming out of a timeout, Miami threw the ball to Destiny Harden in the lane. Holmes made her presence known after the break, ripping off 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting with four rebounds and an assist in the third quarter. It was a very bad, no good, pretty horrible start for Indiana, which missed 15 of its first 21 shots from the field.

But as she gazed from one block of empty seats to the next, her appreciation for her short time in Bloomington was evident. For Moren, Holmes, Berger and everyone involved in the program, it will likely take some time to recover. She stepped to the free-throw line, took a few dribbles and sunk her first attempt. Whether we didn’t communicate the way we needed to on a switch, whether we went under a ball screen, that was not our gameplan.” React to the loss as you wish. The 8-point hole felt more akin to a giant well, but to the Hoosiers credit, they fought. But a questionable offensive possession in which Berger put up a contested floater bailed out the Hurricanes and yanked them right back into contention. Holmes was completely stifled in the first half, but her 18 second half points spearheaded a comeback that fell just short. Most importantly, each saw the farewell of Hoosier greats that ushered in a new era of Indiana basketball: senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis for the No. But now, the pairing’s third March Madness run has come to a close. It’s hard to script a worse 24 hours for the Hoosier state. Each saw one team pouncing on loose balls and boxing out for rebounds with tenacity, and the other seemingly flustered by the physicality.
