Indiana women’s basketball’s junior forward will be tasked with filling the shoes of Mackenzie Holmes, a former first team All-American and the program’s all-time leading scorer. Meister embraced the role as Holmes’ understudy the last two years, but it’s clear she’s striving to carve her own path.
“I want everybody to know it’s Lilly Meister,” Chloe Moore-McNeil said Wednesday at Indiana’s media day at Cook Hall. “It’s not ‘Little Mack’, ‘Baby Mack’. Lilly, she has her own game.”
After logging 6.5 minutes per game as a freshman, Meister averaged 10.5 last season. Despite the uptick in her minutes, the offense remained centered around Holmes’ interior ability.
