Let’s face it, it’s been a tough season thus far for the Indiana women’s basketball team.  At 9-12 overall and 2-6 in the Big Ten, any postseason aspirations for the Hoosiers seem like a long shot at this point.  Coming into the year the expectations were not necessarily sky high, but most experts had the Hoosiers doing better than what they’ve shown us thus far. It hasn’t been all bad either.  There have been some major highs, like senior guard Tyra Buss becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer.  They were dominant in a home win over arch-rival Purdue.  This week…

But those two in-state losses.  Choose your cliche.  They are the elephants in the room.  They stick out like a sore thumb.  Or there’s this: Let’s be clear, it isn’t like IU just had…

Indiana is just a different team than they were a month ago.  If you had any question about that, look at their late 2nd half response to three straight frankly horrible officiating calls that resulted in a Maryland 5 point lead with 4:53 left to play.  IU would outscore the Terrapins 14-6 the rest of the game to close it out.  A lesser team would have hung their heads and collapsed.  This is the aggressive, mentally tough team Hoosier fans have been clamoring for.  No rest for the weary, as Indiana plays at Illinois on Wednesday night.  Indiana wins this…
