Celia Riviere 6'3" Juco player paid a visit to campus. Three to four portal players coming in over next two weeks. Staff working hard.

Closing out the season with five wins in a row. So happy for the team and staff. So proud of KB with yet another double double. We owned the boards. Camille playing tough down low. My Ms. Minnesota playing her heart out as always. Last but certainly not least the Dynamic Duo in the backcourt...

1974-75 season was the first year Illini WBB was an NCAA sanctioned team. So this season marks 49 years. The WBB program honored that first team on the 45 year anniversary and brought back Coach Steve Douglas from California. Steve was a Political Science professor on campus. Title Nine required...

Well I mean I am VERY happy with the win, but sure not happy to be cut off clinging to a two possession lead!

Same here. Could not find my way to the FM station. Not happy!

Hats off to our lean, mean rebounding machine. KB with back to back 17 rebound games!! Wow!! Today toss in 19 points on top of all those rebounds. High fives to the kid from Minnesota. Career high 28 points!! 10 assists for Cookie. First half was some beautiful basketball. Not a bad week to be...

Really happy for the bounce back by Adalia. When she is firing on all cylinders she makes us go. KB owned the glass yet again. Makira leading the scoring. Hope we can draw a bigger crowd for one last change to cheer for this team at the SFC.

Sports can touch our hearts in many ways. Thankful you had this game to bring you some joy. Blessings in the days ahead.

I am going to give some credit to the Illini fans. Our team treated us to quite a few minutes of bad basketball. Did we quit on them? No. As the final minutes counted down we were on our feet imploring the team to get a stop. The atmosphere in Target Center was electric orange!! Nebraska also...

So sorry your family has once again lost a loved one. Blessings in the days to come.

Just like Coach Green said post game and similar to Coach Underwood’s thoughts, when we get grittier and used to closing out tough games on a regular basis like a Maryland….we will be consistent winners. I too hope she remains committed to returning the program to top twenty-five status. As...

Sure wish we could have replicated the first quarter a few more times. You could see us loosing steam second half. Terps started driving to the rim. We were not getting rebounds. Spend a lot of time dribbling. Sometimes I wonder if our guards can even see when we have players open in the wings...

So it was great to have that exciting win in front of a 5,000+ crowd. Orange Krush was awesome. I thought the offensive rebound and three point play by Dolan was huge in letting have a shot to pull it out. Just happy for regular season to close on a victory. See y’al soon in the Twin Towns? 🧡🏀💙

I may wait until a good nights sleep before I watch the tape. I did look at the box score. Even after going 0-5 in fourth quarter, Sparty still shot 52.9% from 3. We went 3-15 for 20%. Yikes. Another steady performance from KB and same from Dal. Not good shooting night it appears for our guards...

Taliyah Henderson coming to visit in spring. Four star out of Tucson.
