I was not willing to buy Big10+ for just 3 MBB games

However if our WBB team becomes very good I may have to payup to watch 16 WBB games on Big10+

44-24 Illini at the half.......I'm really impressed with the improvement of Jada Peebles on the defensive end......she is moving her feet very well and staying in front of her opponent.....
GB is an absolute dynamo with the ball in her hands.....we could have 2 first team B$G players this year.....hope to see MC in the next game.....kinda worried she is not even sitting on the bench tonight.....

RETURN OF THE MACK is blaring over the loudspeakers right now....one of my top 10 all time songs ever...JMHO

Pay for Big Ten Plus you will get your value from just the WBB games. I paid for just Illinois sports. If you thought the WBB was good last year we are better this year! Bigger, faster, and depth. Proved the depth already with Cook out and we received good guard play. If you run into Hobby or one of our freshman guards you are going to fall down, not them. All three are solid and just one more factor we didn't have last year.

I thought our shooting was only just OK, but I see we shot 53%, this team has us spoiled with the good shooting.

Gen absolutely dominating. 15 points so far on 7-9 shooting. The conference is stacked, but it's going to be hard to keep her off the conference first team this season.

Yes I agree, rebounds plus effective shooting, amazing she missed a free throw. Glad she got that out of the way for the season already.

Can we poke fun at the announcers? One is good, one alright, but the guy on the floor was funny when the play started and he was still on the floor!

81-61 win. Tough third quarter, but closed out strong in the fourth. Gen with a career-high, 32. She was an absolute beast. Scared the heck out of me when she went down, but thankfully it was just a cramp. KB with a double-double and a three, which you LOVE to see. Kam Rhodes with quality minutes off the bench. Plenty of things to clean up, especially rebounding, but still a comfortable win against a decent opponent. Can't wait to see what this looks like with Makira healthy. Hopefully, she'll be back ASAP.
