Men's soccer goes down to Akron, 1-0. Similar to the ladies. Women's basketball is playing Central Michigan tonight.
Irish Men lose to KU this afternoon, not a big surprise. 71-61, Burton had 24 points but not much help from his team. We did out shoot them from the FT line, something we could have used vs Ohio State. But a horrible 17% from 3 point land sealed the loss for us.

Irish women in a workman like win over CMU 83-51. As usual leading scorer was Hannah Hidalgo. Vanderbilt transfer Lyanna Moore who was injured to start the season and has been worked into the lineup slowly had a good night shooting the 3 with 4 of 8, and Giselle Sanchez was 2 of 3. The rest of the team was 2-12, that needs to be fixed as the women's game is hard to win unless you can shoot the 3. Next up is the ACC/SEC Challenge vs currently unbeaten Ole Miss on Dec 4th. We don't have a game till then while Ole Miss has 2 games before our meet up. We might be rusty and they won't and it's at Oxford.
Irish Men get the win vs Rutgers today. 68-63. Burton the leading scorer, but heralded freshman, Jalen Haralson, is starting to make his mark. He was the 2nd leading scorer for the Irish. It appears that we will have 1 more game and the opponent will be determined by the games today/tonight.
I expect Haralson, a 5* recruit, to consistently improve as the season progresses. He played locally here in Fishers before he transferred to LaLumiere. I was shocked when we landed him. Kudos to Coach Shrews.
