    I'll say it now I think we can win this game today. If we do I will make the trip from Florida to cheer them on in the final. I have enjoyed this team so much the past two years.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs UConn

    I know you don't want to hear this as he did a good job for us all year but we were out coached this second half. Dain and Hawkins in and Ty out would have been the way to start the second half. Brad though he knew better, I am telling you 28-0 run later, he didn't. good season. Bad way to end it

    From Purdue board, funny but they blame the ref for the loss. Officiating was horrible huh...too funny I know we aren't supposed to consider this game or tournament a big deal and focus more on the NCAA's but we really had the game right there for the taking and didn't make WI have to work for...

    Best games we played all year! Good on D and we had to double on their post player, got her frustrated to the point she picked up 4 fouls. We just out played them at every position, get a bit tired a few times, but never gave up. We out rebounded a good team. This was fun to watch

    Due to foul trouble we had to play Shay Bollin and the result 8 points, McKenzie had to do more scoring, no problem 14 points on 6-8 shooting. Bostic already with 10 rebounds at halftime. We are up 41-26 and that is with NW banking in a long three at the buzzer. They must have changed one of...

    Dolin playing with 2 foul goes over the back to tip a rebound to a teammate for a basket. Hobby playing better as she does sometimes, sure makes this team much better. Drawing fouls with her power moves. Oh.. Bostic doing what she always does 6 points, 7 rebounds already.

    Be interesting with Cook and Dolan both with 2 fouls, we are going to see different people on the floor. Bollin hitting a 3 for us was nice to see

    Not living in Illinois anymore so I don't know, is the local media holding Coach Green responsible for the loss of so many close games? What is going on with the guards, they have a problem is it with each other, the coach or what? The lack of shooting from our two starting guards is not just...

    Cook plays better when Bryant is out..again Mmmmm. McKenzie is giving the most effort I have seen from any player, men or women this year! If we could shoot we could win.

    Cook and Bryant have played every minute, all 30 each of them and no help on the D. Cook the worst. They have shot a whopping 4 for 20. I am not blaming them, we had a coach last year that had to play them. She doesn't this year but for some reason would rather lose than switch things up. Not...

    Fun note of the night.... Bryant just called for traveling when she never had possession of the ball, her feet never moved and player on the other team knocked her over. Moment later they mad a bad call in our favor as a make up. Refs for WBB are still not up to the standard they should be for...

    McKenzie playing like she is going to carry the team, she has the energy, love her passion. She scored the first 5 points for us in second half, Bostic rebound, Hobby Free Throws and the lead is cut to 7.
