Gutsy performance by the Illini. You can really see the pieces for a big season next year. But it's even better to see them win now. Nice win!

That 3Q refereeing got me really mad too. Completely unbalanced.

Great game and big victory to advance another round..........from the way we started the game this outcome was very doubtful..........scUMST definitely pee'd down their legs in the last minutes of the game..........
good to see Jasmine coming alive on offense with big buckets and great passing too...........
this team has so much grit and determination...............way to go Illini !!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what game you're watching, but we don't win without Destiny

Whew! Fun game!!
On to the next one. I can still recall Serge's 1999 Illini team winning three in a row in Year 2 of the "new" Big Ten Tournament. We had three really strong games in a row before tiring significantly in the Championship against MSU.
Same with the ladies. I think we can probably play one more really good game. But getting those last two "W's" would be really tough. 3-1 in the BTT would be a great stepping stone into the Big Dance.

This gets our women into the tournament right???
No one can stop her in the open court.
Suddenly this thread has traffic. Lol
They are fighting for a 9 seed.. We really want a 10 seed, but we will be an 8/9
Great win ladies. Destiny looked unstoppable in the second half. Maddie with many big plays down the stretch. Let's knock off Iowa tomorrow. ILL!
One big difference, that team had no chance of making the NCAA tournament. The women are in.
IIRC, were the men seeded last?
When I saw that Christy Winters-Scott was doing this game, I was actually shocked. Her son (Jordan Scott) is a starter on the Michigan State mens BKB team. How can she NOT be biased calling a Spartan game? C'mon, Big Ten Network ... did you really think this one through?

1999: Yes. Seeded last, but on the verge of the big program turnaround.
I simply don't think any team can win 5 in a row on 5 consecutive days against the talent these ladies are facing. (The good news is that we don't have to win 5 in a row. Additional wins will just work towards improving our NCAA Tournament seed.)
I need to go study Bracketology again. I sure don't want the #8 or #9 seed!
Jasmine has been playing very well of late. She had a terrific game at Iowa. I watched her encourage her teammates in huddles and keep them loose with her smiles and little dance moves. She is a calming influence. So great to have Maddie and Jasmine as upperclassmen who have experienced post season play.
We are projected a 7 seed

ESPN Bracketology has moved the Illini up to a #7 seed overnight!! I wonder if an appearance in the Big 10 semi-finals puts us in the conversation for a #6 seed?
