The IU women’s basketball team is looking at some warm weather midway through its 2011-12 season.
IU senior Jori Davis will continue to play basketball in Indiana after college. Davis was drafted by the Indiana Fever with the 33rd pick in the third round of the WNBA Draft on Monday in Bristol, Conn.
Following IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s worst record in Bloomington, Athletic Director Fred Glass said the five-year coach will return next season. Jack’s current contract is good through June 30, 2013.
Seniors Jori Davis, Andrea McGuirt and Whitney Lindsay represented half of Coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s first recruiting class and were the only ones from that inaugural year to stay at IU for all four years. During their junior year, they were joined by Hope Elam. Now all four seniors prepare to leave the IU basketball program.
The stage was set for an upset. The 10th-seeded Hoosiers were facing seventh-seeded archrival Purdue. IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack’s first recruiting class was fighting to keep its season alive. But this script did not conclude with an ideal ending for the Hoosiers.
