It's that time of the year again. A time for the Hoosier state to celebrate as basketball season begins. We continue our basketball blog coverage with a look at Indiana State Women's Basketball.

Head coach Teri Moren begins her 3rd season at the Hulman Center when the Sycamores host Bellarmine Friday night in an exhibition contest. The regular season gets underway next Friday, November 9th, against Eastern Illinois. It's also a brand new staff for Moren this year as she welcomes John Marcum, Sara Riedeman, and Joey Wells as assistant coaches, as well as Andrea Jones as a graduate manager.

With only 2 starters returning from a season ago, this Sycamore squad will need some of its younger players to step up and fill key roles. Gone are Shannon Thomas, Brittany Schoen, and Deja Mattox. All 3 of these players left their mark on the program with more than 1,000 career points each. The 2 starters returning from last year, Taylor Whitley, and Anna Munn, have plenty of experience and can step into that leadership role left behind by the big 3, but they can't do it alone. Whitley is the only senior on the team, and looks to finish her career on a strong note.
Just like the men, these ladies were picked to finish 7th in the MVC standings. They have a strong non-conference schedule with trips to Assembly Hall, Hinkle Fieldhouse, and IUPUI. These tough road trips will help prepare them for the conference season. New assistant coaches and a younger core of players will bring some new energy to this team, but only time will tell if they can turn that into wins and finish higher than predicted.
