Chloe Moore-McNeil has made a reputation for herself as a difficult defender for opposing guards during her five-year Indiana women's basketball career.
But one of her shining moments will be a 3/4-court pass in the third quarter of Friday's 76-68 win over Utah at Colonial Life Arena. That pass, an impressive assist to Shay Ciezki, capped a game-changing run that turned a Utes lead into Hoosiers control.
Moore-McNeil hauled in a rebound underneath the Utah basket, standing in the middle of the men's block/charge circle, and hurled a one-handed pass with her left arm that bounced short of the IU 3-point line between two defenders and right into Ciezki's left hand in-stride. Take the bounce out of it, and it was like Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hitting Tyreek Hill or Jaden Waddle over the middle of the field.
Victory formation: Big third quarter run leads IU to first-round March Madness win vs Utah
Last ride: From JuJu Watkins to Caitlin Clark, Chloe Moore-McNeil proves to be IU's defensive wizard
Ciezki caught it at the top of the free-throw circle, took a controlling dribble and finished with her left hand down the left side of the lane. The highlight gave IU a 48-39 lead with 3:44 left in the third quarter and closed a 15-3 run.
What became a 13-point IU lead in the fourth quarter was cut to four with 65 seconds left, but the Utes wouldn't score again.
