Chloe Moore-McNeil makes football-style pass for Indiana women's basketball shining moment
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.
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.
No words, just 🤯.
