Lillie Graves has a chance at Indiana Miss Basketball history this season

LAFAYETTE — There is no higher individual honor in Indiana high school girls basketball than winning the Miss Basketball award. Handed out to the state’s top performing senior, the list of recipients in the 50-year history include multiple future college and WNBA stars. Amazingly, though, nobody from a high school in Lafayette city limits has won the prestigious honor. That could change this winter. McCutcheon is home to Lillie Graves , and she is an early frontrunner for the award in her senior season. It doesn’t take long to discover why. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN, the Virginia Tech commit has become a prolific talent. She averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season on 47% shooting from the field for the Class 4A semi-state runner-up Mavericks , while also shooting a career-best 33% from behind the arc. More: Top returning 2026-27 girls basketball teams from Lafayette area Graves is also likely to break the Tippecanoe County scoring record set by Lafayette Jeff’s Maya Layton last year. Layton finished her career with 2,044 points, while Graves was at 1,565 before this season began — 479 points off. She has

Indiana basketball proved a valuable trait to its coach that will pay off down the line

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana emerged from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse tunnel Monday night to a surprisingly sparse crowd, a reminder of the power of momentum and dynamic pricing. If the organizers of this game, an early season nonconference test for both IU and Syracuse , might have reason to rethink their ask for tickets, given an announced attendance of 5,047 fans, then Darian DeVries certainly got a reminder that his base still needs some convincing as well. There have been too many false November dawns around here in the last decade. The mostly Indiana-partisan crowd that did turn out was treated to a basketball game that was, if not always clean, then certainly competitive. A first-year coach with a young roster on one sideline battled for 40 minutes with a second-year coach and an almost completely remade one on the other. This was bound to be imperfect basketball, but it was rarely boring basketball. And at its end, when the final horn sounded and the scoreboard read “Indiana 83, Syracuse 80,” DeVries walked off the fieldhouse floor once again aware of the task ahead of him defensively. Crucially, he also walked away with a firmer sense of what that team will do

3 things that stood out from Purdue basketball's first win, beating Illinois State

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue men's basketball 's season-opening losing skid ended Monday with a 76-59 victory over Illinois State at Mackey Arena. Daniel Jacobsen scored 20 points and Antione West Jr. added 17 in his first career start . Jack Benter also started and chipped in 14 points while keying a game-changing second-half surge. Here are three things that stood out from Purdue's first win in three tries this season: Matt Painter shook up Purdue's starting lineup, saw immediate results After an 0-2 start, Matt Painter needed to find a spark on both offense and defense. He gave West his first career start and Benter his first start of the season. Omer Mayer and Gicarri Harris came off the bench. The shake-up worked early. Purdue made eight of its first 10 shots from the field and generally found a better offensive flow. It went into the under-16 timeout up 7-0. That shooting clip was unsustainable, but the offense also bogged down a bit. Some players are still working through new, expanded roles in real time. It the Redbirds had not shot a miserable 3-for-16 from 3, Purdue maybe doesn't lead 36-28 at halftime. Daniel Jacobsen's efficiency setting Purdue's offensive baseline
