The LJ's head up north to face the 4-2 Hoosiers, led by former Tech assistant, Teri Moren, who was Coach Jo's top assistant from '07 to '10. She and Coach Jo played together and each graduated from Purdue.
Tyra Buss, 5'8" Soph. guard, is averaging 18.8 ppg. She's only 4 of 24 (16.7%) on the season so far from outside the arc, but she's getting 34 mpg and has attempted 57 free throws on the season (making 43, 75.4%). That's right at 10 free throw attempts per game. Tech's Aaliyah Whiteside is similarly getting to the charity stripe at a similar rate. She is 50 of 67 (74.6%) from the FT line through 7 games.
Indiana has 2 other players averaging double figures scoring and then it drops off to 6.0 ppg for their 4th leading scorer. Amanda Cahill, 6'2" Soph. forward, is averaging 13.8 ppg and Alexis Gassion, 5'11" Jr. guard, is averaging 11.7 ppg. Cahill is 8 of 15 from outside the arc so we'll need to respect her 3-pt making potential. She also leads the Hoosiers in rebounding at 7.7 boards per game with Gassion right behind her at 6.2. This is a young Hoosiers team as they only have 1 senior on roster.
This game is part of the ACC-Big 10 Challenge annual event. Of current ACC members who have played in this since it started, Tech is tied with Duke and UNC with the best records in this event at 6-2. (Maryland was a perfect 7-0 before leaving the ACC...and Notre Dame is 2-0 and UofL is 1-0 so far) Having said that, Tech suffered a loss at Michigan State last year by 6 pts in overtime. Sucks that we have to go on the road a second year in a row.
The Hoosiers went 15-16 overall and 5-15 in the tough Big 10 last year. After this game, Tech returns home for a 4-game homestand that includes 3 cupcakes before hosting Alabama before finishing out the pre-ACC schedule at IUPUI (pronounced for fun...ooo-eee-poo-eee).
