Uncharted Waters

How Sharon Versyp turned the program around in her 1st season

For the IU women's basketball team, the postseason is uncharted waters. The last Hoosier team to make a postseason tournament was the 2001-02 squad that steam-rolled its way through the Big Ten Tournament and into the NCAA Tournament.\nNow, four seasons later, all the players and coaching staff have changed with the exception of one player -- fifth-year senior forward Jenny DeMuth.\nAs a freshman during the 2001-02 season, DeMuth played in all 31 games for IU, including 27 as a starter, and averaged 7.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.\nThe senior forward said she sees similarities between this year's team and the 2002 squad that made it to the NCAA tourney.\n"Through the past few games, this team has definitely come together," DeMuth said. "When I was a freshman, that's what happened when we were playing. Our seniors stepped up, and we definitely came together so there are similarities"
