Ready to play? Are you kidding? Indiana basketball transfers Brenna Wise and Ali Patberg can barely contain themselves.
"Oh, my gosh," Wise says, "I'm chomping at the bit to get out there."
"I can't put into words how excited I am to play," Patberg adds.
Wise and Patberg transferred to Indiana to make a difference on this women's program on the rise.
On Friday, they'll get their first chance, and if it won't count -- it's an exhibition against Northwood -- let others worry about that.
"It's been way too long since I've competed against an opponent who isn't a teammate in practice," Wise says.
